  2. Lesson Plan – Session 1 • Introduction • Internet, Web 2.0, Tools, Technology, Languages • Browsers • Web 2.0 • Web Page Layout and Construction • Introduction to XHTML • Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)

  5. Development of Web Content • Earliest web sites displayed static information • Only user interaction was navigation • Basic Interaction • User sends data to server where new page is constructed and delivered to client • Dynamic Pages • Scripting for actions within browser • AJAX allows pages that behave much like local applications

  8. Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) • Ajax, Dojo toolkit • Adobe Flex, Microsoft Silverlight, JavaFx • Ruby on Rails • Script.aculo.us • JavaServer Faces • ASP.NET Ajax

  9. Combining Elements • Web Services • Make data or processing elements available • Mashups • Combine elements from a variety of web sources • Widgets & Gadgets • Mini applications that run alone or as part of larger application

  10. Business Issues • Monetization Models • How to collect money (often without actually selling something) • Much is advertising based • Business Models • Beyond selling products

  11. Future • Content for mobile devices • Location Based Services • Semantic Web

  12. Web Page Development • Originally HyperText Markup Language = HTML • Describes content and style but not layout details • Now Extensible HTML = XHTML • W3C Standard • Specifies content and structure • Limited formatting features • Extensive formatting capability provided by CSS

  13. Validation Service • Validate structure of a document • http://validator.w3.org • Can specify a • url to validate • Upload a file to validate

  14. XHTML Format • Free form, plain text • Content • Text (direct) and links (indirect) • Tags • Specify structure and some display characteristics • Start with <xxx>, End with </xx> • Self-contained use <xx />

  15. Basic Components • Headers • Links • Images • Special characters (entities) and line breaks • Lists • Unordered (bullets), Ordered (numbered), Nested • Tables • Forms

  16. Examples • Ex 4.1 • <?xml …> • <html> • <head> • <body> • <p> paragraph • Ex 4.2 • <h1>, … <h6> headings

  17. Examples • Ex 4.3 • Links to other web pages • <a href=http:// …> • href can be any url • Email with mailto:user@d.n • Ex 4.5 – Images • <img src=url …alt=descr> • Resize with height and width attributes • Ex 4.6 – Combining images and navigation

  22. Tables (2) • Rectangular group of cells can be treated as a single cell • Attributes rowspan and colspan • Ex 4.11

  23. Forms • Collect user information • May be processed • on client with script • sent to server application for processing • Processing on serer • Specify display items and fields by name • Specify how data will be processed • Ex 4.11

  24. More Form Features • Forms can contain • Text area • Checkbox • Reset button • Hidden fields • Radio buttons • Menus • Example4.13

  25. Internal Links and Meta Elements • Internal links take you to a specific part of the page • Useful for long pages • Ex 4.14 • meta Elements • Provide information about page • Used by search engines • Ex 4.15

  26. Cascading Style Sheets • Allow detailed formatting of web pages • Provide separation of structure from presentation (format) • Inline Style • Included directly in XHTML document • More limited capability

Style in inherited applies to all nested elements Explicit style of nested components can override style from ancestors Styles may specify a series of tags, applying only in that context “ul ul” applies in a sublist “h1, h2” applies to both h1 and h2 st:pseudo allows redefining pseudoclass Style Classes and Scope

  32. Ex 5.3 a.nodec applies to link class that has defined attribute nodec a:hover defines changed appearance when mouse is over item Style Inheritance

  33. File with extension .css contains style definitions Ex 5.4 Document file link to style sheet <link rel = “stylesheet” type “text/css” href = “styles.css” /> Ex 5.5 External Style Sheets

  34. CSS validator for external stylesheets is at http://jigsaw.w3.ofg/css-validator Validation

  35. Property position absolute for position relative to top left corner = (0,0) Size is often in px, pixels Relative to top, bottom, left, right z-index specifies overlay order for overlapping items 1 is lowest Ex 5.6 Positioning Elements

  36. Shift position with position: relative span tag specifies range for application of a style Ex 5.7 Relative Positioning

  37. Backgrounds Ex 5.8 Element dimensions Ex 5.9 Floating elements and text flow Ex 5.10 Borders Ex 5.11 & 5.12 Other Features

  38. Media Types • Can define different styles for different media • Screen, handheld, Braille, aural, print • Ex 5.13 • Ex 5.14 – Building a drop-down menu with CSS
