Basic HTML

Hello and welcome to my page about Basic HTML. The basics of HTML isn't that

hard to learn if you put your mine to it. I learnt most of the HTML that I know from my

cousin, Paul or Cybrid or Darknite as some of us might know. I think he learnt from a

great HTML editor called Coffee Cup(you can get it at

http://www.coffecup.com. It really is one of the best editors.

Well to get on with it we'll first look at links. Links are one of the most used HTML

codes. You can make a link by typing in: <a href="web page address">text</a> and that's it!

Don't forget to put http:// before the address.

Here's an example. <a href="http://www.fortunecity.com>Fortune City</a>

Now for pictures. To place a picture on your home page, you must first make sheer that it is a

.gif or a .jpg file. If it isn't it might not work. This code is also very simple:

<img src="folder/file">. If your file is in a different folder(Eg. Your address might be

www.stuff.com and your images might be in www.stuff.com/images/, get it?)you'll have to type it

in. Here's two example's: <img src="stuff.gif"> and <img src="/images/stuff.gif">.

Now for some harder stuff.

To center thing's all you have to do is type in <center>text</center>.

You use embedding to embed sounds in to your page. You can either embed a .wav or .voc,

or you can embed a midi file, witch will play a lot long of course. Thought the .wav sounds

take much more time to start to play. You can embed your sound by typing in:

<bgsound="your .wav or midi file"> and that's it.

Example: <embed src="Barney.midi" autostart="True">

<bgsound="Barney.mid">.

Now since I can't think of anything else will go to something ever harder. Once you get a

good page you might want to make an award that you give to people. Well you could be like most

people and just tell the nice people just to e-mail you there address or you could be like me and

make cool text area's to fill in and then send to your via e-mail. Well here's how you can.

<form method=post action=mailto:your e-mail address">. You have to type this in first so it

Example:

knows were to e-mail to.

Then its just a matter what you want to put on it. Your going to want there name, e-mail address,

and home page address and for that you want the single line text area's.

<input name="if its there e-mail then email, if it's there URL then url" size="30">.

Example:

If you want an option(like if they like cabbage or they don't like cabbage)you'll want this:

<input type=radio name=choice value=the name> text. Under the name=choice, keep it at choice

or it wont work.

Example: do you like cabbage?

If you want a big text area for them to tell you about something it goes like this:

Example:

For the buttons to make everything happen:

Example: It will be bigger than this I just made this one

small.

And to top it all off you type in </form>(and if you don't you'll screw everything up.

Thanx for coming.
