  1. Agenda HTML Workshop Session 4 8/9/06

  2. Stuff from Last Week • Linked and targeted anchor

  3. Two Methods of Graphic Representation • Vector - use math to draw the objects. • Raster - fill in a grid explicitly, pixel by pixel. Web graphics use this method (jpeg and gif).

  4. Raster Graphic Characteristics • Pixels (picture elements - "dots") • Resolution or dpi (how fine the grain is) • Color Depth (how true the color is) • Dimensions (height and width) • Compression (None vs. Lossless vs. Lossy)

  5. Raster Types of File Formats • PICT (Macintosh) • Bit Mapped (BMP) (PC) • Tagged Image File (Format) (TIFF or TIF) • Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) • Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) • PNG's Not GIF (PNG or ping)

  9. Digital Graphic Basics

  10. Digital Graphic Basics GIF does an orderly count after normalizing the palette to a 256 max color set. 5 white; 1 lt. Pink; 1 PinkOrange; 1 lt. Pink etc.

  11. Digital Graphic Basics JPEG samples the image and records a function of multiple 24-bit colors. F(2,2,alg223, FFFFFF, C72232) F(4,2,alg192, DC327B, 8A2107) F(2,4,alg074, FF814E, DF2232) Etc.

  12. Important Things to Remember • Use JPEG for images with high depth of color or variations (i.e., photo-like) • Use GIF for images with large fields of similar colors (i.e., logo-like) • Watch for PNG's expanded support • Compare JPG vs. GIF for a logo • Compare JPG vs. GIF for a photo

  13. Back to the IMG tag • Attribute study • No ending tag • src = file location (URL) • alt = alternative text • align = how the image fits in the text • height = height in pixels

  14. The IMG tag continued • width = width in pixels • border = border used when image is linked • hspace/vspace = pixel space around image • usemap = used for image mapping locally (CS) • ismap = used for remote mapping (SS)

  15. Server Side Includes • Server technology that allows the incorporation of domain-local files into each other • Can be used to standardize a site • Assembled prior to serving, so include file changes are immediate

  16. Dreamweaver Templates • Cookie-cutter pieces of code that DW manages for you • Unlike SSI, relative links within DW templates can dynamically change • Changes must be saved and posted in order to take effect

  17. DW Templates vs. SSI • Use DWTs when you wish to maintain relative links within a subsite • Use SSIs for items or sections that may change frequently, but can be identical regardless of nesting file location • SSIs are web-server dependent, while DWTs are application (DW) dependent

  18. Cascading Style Sheets • Styles generally define presentation characteristics • They can be defined at varying levels either within and/or outside of a document • Styles cascade, which means those that compete and are defined at different levels are implemented according to specific rules

  19. CSS Methods • Linking: Using the link tag to point to an external style sheet • Embedding: Defining styles within the document head either by tag, class or id • Importing: Including external style sheets within an embedded section • In-lining: Explicitly defining styles within the content
