Making your own web page and other neat things to do with a web page (Javascript)

The Basics

Web pages (like the one you are looking at now) are written in a language called HTML (HyperText Mark-Up Language). �Web pages can contain all kinds of information about anything you can think of. �A typical web page will usually have images and links to other things on the internet. �You can download programs to help you write web pages or you can make one from scratch yourself. �I will show you step-by-step how to make a very basic web page with images and links on it.

Step 1: �Make a directory called MyPages (or anything else you would like to name it, I will reference to MyPages).

Step 2: �Open up a text editor or word processor and create a new text document. �(If you use a word processor make sure to save the file as plain ASCII text)

Step 3: �On the first line type in <HTML>. �This tells the web browser that it is reading a html file.

Step 4: �On the next line type in <HEAD>. �This tells the web browser that it is reading heading information.

Step 5: �On the next line type in <TITLE> and right after that type in This is my web page title.� Next type in </TITLE>. �The <TITLE> tag tells the web browser that it is reading the web page title and that is should put that in the title bar at the top. �The </TITLE> tag tells the web browser that it is done reading the title of the page. �Any text that appears inbetween those tags is put into the title.

Step 6: �On the next line type in </HEAD>. �This tells the web browser that it is finished reading the header information.

Step 7: �Leave one line blank and on the next line type in <BODY>. �This tells the web browser that the body of the web page is starting. �The body is where you have all you text and images at.

Step 8: �On the next line type in This is text on my web page.<BR>� The <BR> tag tells the web browser to break the line and go to the beginning of the next one.

Step 9: �On the next line type in <IMG SRC="image.gif">. �This tells the web browser to show a image on the web page. �To see this work right click here and select Save. �Save the file in the MyPages directory with the filename image.gif. �The image.gif part in the <IMG SRC="image.gif"> tag is where you would enter the name of the graphic file you want to show. �The file must be a gif or jpeg.

Step 10: �On the next line type in <A HREF="index.html">This is a link</A>. �This will make a link on your web page. �The index.hmtl can be replaced by any other web file you want to reference to when they click on the link. �The text inbetween the tags is what the user sees underlined in the web page. �You can make a picture a link by using the <IMG> tag inbetween the two link tags.

Step 11: �On the next line type in </BODY>. �This tells the web browser that you are done with the body.

Step 12: �On the next line type in </HTML>. �This tells the web browser that the file is ending.

Step 13: �Save the file in the MyPages directory with the name index.html.

Step 14: �Look at your new page in the web browser by opening the web browser and typing in the address \MyPages\index.html.

When you have completed all these steps you should get something that looks like this in the text editor:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>This is my web page title</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
This is text on my web page.<BR>
<IMG SRC="image.gif">
<A HREF="index.html">This is a link</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Beyond the basics

I am going to take the HTML 4.0 specifications and give you an example and way to use most tags that are in the specifications that will work for IE4. �I don't use Netscape because I always have had trouble with it giving kernal faults. �Disclamier: �I take no responsibility for any damage or loss caused directly or indirectly by the use of this documentation. �I am not responsible for any errors or mistakes.

Web pages are made in a language called HTML. �Elements in a web page are defined by tags. �Tags are commands enclosed in brackets. �Web pages have a header section and a body section. �The header section holds information like a description of the file and the title of the page. �The body holds all the text and images of the web page.

The first tag that begins a HTML file is the <HTML> tag. �It tells the web browser that it is reading a HTML file. �The last tag in a HTML file is the </HTML> tag. �It tells the web browser that it is done reading HTML from the file. �This tag is almost always the last tag in the file.

After the <HTML> tag usually comes the <HEAD> tag. �The <HEAD> tag tells the web browser that it is reading the header section of the HTML file. �The </HEAD> tag tells the web browser that the header section of the web page is ending.

Inbetween the <HEAD> tag and the </HEAD> tag their is the <TITLE> tag. �It tells the web browser that the following text is to be placed in the title bar of the web browser. �The </TITLE> tag tells the web browser that it has reached the end of the title. �You cannot use other tags inside the <TITLE> tag and </TITLE> tag.

After the </HEAD> tag comes the <BODY> tag. �The <BODY> tag tells the web browser that the body of the web page is starting. �The body is where all the text, images, and links are located in the web page. �The </BODY> tag tells the web browser that the body is ending. �This tag is usually at the bottom of the web page right above the </HTML> tag. �The <BODY> tag also has extra parameters that can be set along with it. �To use a tiled picture in the background the tag would look like this: �<BODY BACKGROUND="image file name here">. �You can also change the color of the background, text, links, visited links, and active links. �Here is a list of the extra parameters to put inside the tag:

<BODY BGCOLOR="hex color code here"> -- Background Color
<BODY TEXT="hex color code here"> -- Text Color
<BODY LINK="hex color code here"> -- Link Color
<BODY VLINK="hex color code here"> -- Visited Link
<BODY ALINK="hex color code here"> -- Active Link
Go to this web site for more information on getting the hex codes for colors.
You can combine any of these parameters together. �Example: �<BODY BGCOLOR="000000" TEXT="000000">.

The following tags are used inbetween the <BODY> tag and the </BODY> tag.

The <H#> tag. �This tag indicates that the following text is a header. �Fill in a number from one to six in place of the # to indicate the size of the header. �One is the biggest and six is the smallest. �The </H#> tag indicates that you are closing the header. �Replace the # with the number you used in the <H> tag. �You can put other tags inside these to format the text more. �To align the header add the parameter ALIGN=LEFT|CENTER|RIGHT. �Examples:

<H1 ALIGN=LEFT>Left aligned header</H1>
<H1 ALIGN=CENTER>Center aligned header</H1>
<H1 ALIGN=RIGHT>Right aligned header</H1>

The <ADDRESS> tag. �This tag indicates that the following text is the address of the author of the web page. �Usually the text will be italicized. �The </ADDRESS> tag indicates the close of the address. �Usually this is at the top or bottom of the page with a link to the author's e-mail address. �You can put other tags inside these.

The following tags format the text as described when that text is surrounded by the open and closing tag:

<EM> </EM> -- Indicates emphasis
<STRONG> </STRONG> -- Indicates stronger emphasis
<CITE> </CITE> -- Contains a citation or a reference to other sources
<DFN> </DFN> -- Indicates that this is the defining instance of the enclosed term
<CODE> </CODE> -- Designates a fragment of computer code
<SAMP> </SAMP> -- Designates sample output from programs, scripts, etc
<KBD> </KBD> -- Indicates text to be entered by the user
<VAR> </VAR> -- Indicates an instance of a variable or program argument
<ABBR> </ABBR> -- Indicates an abbreviated form (e.g., WWW, HTTP, URI, Mass., etc.)
<ACRONYM> </ACRONYM> -- Indicates an acronym (e.g., WAC, radar, etc.)

You can use other tags inside any of these tags.

The <BLOCKQUOTE> tag. �This tag is for long quotations. �You enclose the text with the <BLOCKQUOTE> tag and the </BLOCKQUOTE> tag. �Usually browsers will indent the text with these tags. �You can include other tags on the inside of these tags.

The <Q> tag. �This tag is for short quotations. �You enclose the text with the <Q> tag and the </Q> tag. �Usually browsers will not indent the text with these tags. �You can include other tags on the inside of these tags.

The <SUB> </SUB> tags and the <SUP> </SUP> tags. �The <SUB> </SUB> tags will format the text inbetween them as a subscript. �The <SUP> </SUP> tags will format the text inbetween them as a superscript. �You can use other tags inbetween these tags.

The <P> tag. �The <P> tag makes a paragraph break in the web page. �It is a double spaced break from where you insert the code. �You can use a </P> tag but it is not needed. �You can use a ALIGN parameter to align the paragraph text. �Here are some examples:

<P ALIGN=LEFT> -- Left alignment
<P ALIGN=CENTER> -- Center alignment
<P ALIGN=RIGHT> -- Right alignment

The <BR> tag. �This tag will force a line break to the next line. �Unless you are using the <PRE> </PRE> tags a line return in the HTML web file will not cause a line break. �The web browser will just stick it together.

The &NBSP code. �This code will stop a line break from happening between the words where it appears. �Example: �No  Break can happen between the words No Break.

The &SHY code. �This code tells the browser that it can break the line at that point and put a soft-hypen on the first line where the break occured.

The <PRE> </PRE> tags. �The <PRE> tag indicates that the following text is preformatted and that all line breaks and spaces should be shown exactly like they are in the HTML document. �The </PRE> tag indicates that the preformmating is over. �You can use other tags inbetween these tags.

The <OL> </OL> tags. �These tags indicate the beginning and end of a ordered list. �You use the <LI> tag to make items in this type of list. �Here are some parameters:
