HTML 1
Week 4 Review
Week of Consolidation
. You had already mastered:
. The web page template
. The basic elements - html, head, title,
body
. Simple text formatting elements - p, h1-6
. Links - a
. The ability to validate your web pages
(well, maybe not "mastered")
New Elements
. Inline elements
. em
. strong
. br
. q
. Block elements
. pre
. hr
. blockquote
. ol
. ul
. li
Block vs. Inline
. All inline elements (including text) MUST be
contained within a block element.
. Most block elements CANNOT be located
within another block element, but there are
exceptions:
. blockquote (like the body tag) requires block
elements directly inside it
. lists (ol and ul) can contain only li elements
. li can contain block, inline, or text elements
DOCTYPE
. Tells browser (and validator) which
version of HTML is being used
. We use the current highest standard -
XHTML 1.0 Strict
. This standard avoids problem of browser
deciding to render a web page according
to its own quirky set of rules and will
work best on hand-held devices
Strict XHTML Standards
. use appropriate DOCTYPE and html attributes
. elements are written lower case
. elements are closed
. É - element pairs
.
- empty elements
. all attributes have a value that appears within
quotes (most say double, but single will work)
. Home
. all elements are properly nested - FILO
