  3. HTML Activities EXTENSION TASKS Complete, from HTML Guide: • Formatting fonts activity. • Paragraphs and breaks.

  4. Basic HTML anatomy. <html> <head> <title> </title> </head> <body> </body> </html> We are aware of the basic anatomy of HTML, have looked at structural and semantic mark-up, tags, list formation and breaks. We will now look at links and how they enable browsing and surfing, through websites.

  5. Links • Links may have the following purposes: • Links from one website to another. • Links from one page to another on the same website. • Links from one part of a page to another. • Links opening a new browser window. • Links to an email programme, enabling you to send a new email to somebody.

  6. Writing Links Links are created with the <a> element. Anything between the <a> opening tag and </a> closing tag, can be clicked on. The page that you want to click on, is specified using the hrefattribute. This is the page the LINK takes you to: This is the TEXT the USER clicks on: <a href=“http://www.wwf.org.uk”>WWF</a> Opening Link Tag Closing Link Tag LINK TEXT – SHOULD EXPLAIN WHERE VISITORS WILL BE TAKEN TO AND BE CLEAR, AND SPECIFIC!

  7. URLS’Uniform Resource Locator RELATIVE URLS These can be used to link to other pages within a site. Because of this you do not need to specify the domain name. They are USEFUL when building a site, as you can link pages without setting up a domain name or hosting. ABSOLUTE URLS Every web page has its’ own URL – typed into the browser. It starts with the domain name, followed by a path to a specific page. If not displayed it will show the homepage.

  8. Exercise 1 Exercise 2 CONTINUE THE MARKUP – LINKING TO OTHER PAGES (USE IMAGE BELOW) <p> <ul> <li><a href=“index.html”>Home</a></li> • <li><a href=“about-us.html”>About</a></li> CONTINUE THE MARKUP – LINKING TO OTHER SITES (USE IMAGE BELOW)AND ALL .COMS <p>Movie Reviews: <ul> <li><a href=“http://www.empireonline.com”> Empire</a></li> <li>

  9. 1. Links – Search Engines If this is the HTML for formatting a link to Google, format a page which includes Google, and four other alternative Search engines. Your page should involve appropriate breaks and format.

  10. 2. Links that open in new windows Format a page which includes another 2 pages, that will open in a new window. The links should be those useful to students learning web design/ development. 3.

Each section of the site is placed into different folders. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FILE AND FOLDERS Much like a family tree, parent, grandparent, child, and grandchild HOMEPAGES Main homepage is written in HTML – index.html Web servers usually return to this file, when no other is specified/ entered.
