HTML Overview Part 5 – Adding Images
Types of Images • Image files added to HTML documents should be in one of the following formats: • GIF – Graphics Interchange Format. Limited to 256 colors. Best used for logos and clip art. • JPG – Joint Photographic Experts Group. Supports millions of colors. Bets used for photographs. • PNG – Portable Network Graphics. New image format supported only by newer browsers.
Defining an Image • In HTML, images are defined with the <img /> tag. • The <img />tag is empty – it contains attributes only, and has no closing tag. • To display an image on a page, you need to use the src=“value”attribute. • The value of the src attribute is the URL of the image you want to display. • Syntax for defining an image: <imgsrc="url“ alt=“text”/>
Image Attributes • Attributes of the <img/> tag include: • border=“value” – specifies the size of the border around the image in pixels • alt=“value” – specifies alternate text that will display on the web page if the image does not load, The value of the altattribute is text. • height=“value” – specifies the height of the image in pixels • width=“value” – specifies the width of the image in pixels
The browser displays the image where the <img/>tag occurs in the document. If you put an image tag between two paragraphs, the browser shows the first paragraph, then the image, then the second paragraph. • A typical image is specified as follows: <imgsrc="pulpit.jpg" alt="Pulpit rock" width="304" height="228" /> The tag
The browser displays the image where the <img> tag occurs in the document. If you put an image tag between two paragraphs, the browser shows the first paragraph, then the image, then the second paragraph. • A typical image is specified as follows: <imgsrc="pulpit.jpg" alt="Pulpit rock" width="304" height="228" /> The source attribute – defines the URL of the image.

HTML Overview Part 5 - Comments
Formatting Comments • Comments can be inserted into the HTML code to make it more readable and understandable. • Comments are ignored by the browser and are not displayed. • Comments are written like this: <!-- This is a comment --> Note: There is an exclamation point after the opening bracket, but not before the closing bracket.
Comment Example <html> <body> <!--This comment will not be displayed--> <p>This is a regular paragraph</p> </body> </html>
HTML Overview Part 5 –Style Sheets
What are Cascading Style Sheets? • CSS was introduced together with HTML 4, to provide a better way to style HTML elements. • CSS can be added to HTML in three ways: • A linked style sheet which is stored in separate style sheet files (CSS files) that contain style rules only • Embedded style sheet defined in paired tags in the head section of the HTML document. • In the style attribute in single HTML elements
Style Sheet Rules • Style sheets can include rules and classes. • A style sheet rule modifies an HTML element and is comprised of a selector and declarations. • The selectoris the HTML element being redefined, such as the font. • Declarationsare the formats to be applied (font name, size, color)
Style Sheet Rules Example p {font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif; font-size: 14px;} • In the above example, the selectors are font-family and font size • The declarations are • Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif • 14 pixels The above rule will display paragraphs in 14px Georgia.
Style Sheet Classes • A style sheet class is a set of declarations (formats) that can be applied to different tags. • Class names begin with a dot ( . ) • Declarationsare the formats to be applied (font name, size, color)
Style Sheet Class Example .para_with_space { font-family: Georgia, “Times New Roman”, Times, serif; font-size: 14 px; line-height: 28 px; } What are the selectors in the above example? What are the declarations in the above example? To apply the style sheet class to a paragraph, use the tags: <p class=“para_with_space”> </p>
Style Example – Background Color <html><body style="background-color:yellow;"><h2 style="background-color:red;">This is a heading</h2><p style="background-color:green;">This is a paragraph.</p></body></html>
Style Example – Font, Color, Size <html><body><h1 style="font-family:verdana;">A heading</h1><p style="font-family:arial; color:red;font-size:20px;">A paragraph.</p></body></html>
Style Example – Text Alignment <html><body><h1 style="text-align:center;">Center-aligned heading</h1><p>This is a paragraph.</p></body></html>

HTML Overview Part 5 – Adding Color
Color Values • HTML colors are defined using a hexadecimal code for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB). • HEX values are specified as 3 pairs of two-digit numbers, starting with a # sign.
16 Million Different Colors The combination of Red, Green, and Blue values from 0 to 255, gives more than 16 million different colors (256 x 256 x 256).
Shades of Grey Gray colors are created by using an equal amount of power of all of the light sources.
Color Names • Color names are supported by all browsers • 147 color names are defined in the HTML and CSS color specification. • The 17 standard colors are: aqua maroon black navy blue olive fuchsia purple gray red grey silver green teal lime white yellow
Style Example – Background Color <p style="background-color:#FFFF00"> Color set by using hex value</p> <p style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)"> Color set by using rgb value</p> <p style="background-color:yellow"> Color set by using color name</p>
To change the background and text color of an HTML document with a style sheet rule, the HTML body element is modified in the rule: body {background-color : #000000; color : #FFFFFF} In the above example, the background would be black and the text would be white. • The change the text color of a selected tag, the HTML element is modified in a style sheet rule. For example: h1 {color : #0000FF} In the above example, the #1 heading would appear in blue.
HTML Overview Part 5 – Changing Alignment
Alignment • HTML content is left-aligned by default. • To change the alignment of an entire document, the body element is modified in a style sheet rule: body {text-align : center} In the above example, the text of the entire document would be centered on the page. • To change the alignment of only a part of a document, modify the appropriate HTML element: h1 {text-align : right} In the above example, the #1 heading would be aligned at the right of the page.
Style Example – Alignment <html><body><h1 style="text-align:center;">Center-aligned heading</h1><p>This is a paragraph.</p></body></html>
