 HTML

This page is having a quick review of all the HTML tags discussed in this tutorial. If you need to know in detail about any tag then refer to HTML Tag List chapter.

HTML Basic Syntax:

  • HTML Element names and attribute names are not case sensitive.
  • HTML Documents start with a <!doctype...> statement, followed by a header and a text body all enclosed in <html>...</html>.
  • HTML Header is enclosed in <head>....</head> tags.
  • HTML Body is enclosed in <body>....</body> tags.
  • HTML Comments are written as <!-- A comment -->.

HTML Basic Document:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 4.0//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Document Title like HTML Tutorial</title>
</head>

<body>
   Document Text with other tags will come here.
</body>

</html>
 

YouTube Video in HTML

 
If you want to play a video in a web page, you can upload the video to YouTube and insert the proper HTML code to display the video:

Example - YouTube iFrame

<iframe width="420" height="345"
src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XGSy3_Czz8k">
</iframe>

Example - YouTube Embedded

<embed
width="420" height="345"
src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XGSy3_Czz8k"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
</embed>
 

HTML Elements

"HTML tags" and "HTML elements" are often used to describe the same thing.
But strictly speaking, an HTML element is everything between the start tag and the end tag, including the tags:
HTML Element:
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

 
 

HTML Basic Examples

HTML Headings

HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags.

Example

<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
<h3>This is a heading</h3> 

HTML Paragraphs

HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag.

Example

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p> 

HTML Links

HTML links are defined with the <a> tag.

Example

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">This is a link</a>
  

HTML Images

HTML images are defined with the <img> tag.

Example

<img src="w3schools.jpg" alt="W3Schools.com" width="104" height="142"> 

URL - Uniform Resource Locator

Web browsers request pages from web servers by using a URL.
When you click on a link in an HTML page, an underlying <a> tag points to an address on the world wide web.
A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is used to address a document (or other data) on the world wide web.
A web address, like this: http://rkniit70.blogspot.in/search/label/lab%20at%20home%202 follows these syntax rules:
scheme://host.domain:port/path/filename
Explanation:
  • scheme - defines the type of Internet service. The most common type is http
  • host - defines the domain host (the default host for http is www)
  • domain - defines the Internet domain name, like w3schools.com
  • port - defines the port number at the host (the default port number for http is 80)
  • path - defines a path at the server (If omitted, the document must be stored at the root directory of the web site)
  • filename - defines the name of a document/resource
