HTML-DOCUMENTATION

Thanks for visiting my GitHub account!

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the standard markup language for documents designed to be displayed in a web browser. It defines the content and structure of web content. It is often assisted by technologies such as Cascading Style Sheets and scripting languages such as JavaScript. more

What is HTML?

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
HTML is the standard markup language for creating Web pages

1. Introduction to html

What is HTML and its role in web development?
History of HTML
Advantages & disadvantages of HTML

1.1 What is HTML & Why HTML

HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language
It is not a programming language but markup language where tags are responsible for defining the elements and layout of a webpage, including headings, paragraphs, images, links, and more.

1.2 History of HTML

Tim Berners-Lee created HTML in 1990
HTML 1.0 - 1990 HTML 2.0 - 1993 HTML 3.0 - 1995 (Not fully implemented) HTML 3.2 - 1997 HTML 4.0 - 1997 HTML 4.01 - 1999 HTML5 - 2014 (Ongoing development with subsequent versions like HTML5.1, HTML5.2, etc.)

1.3 Advantages and disadvantages of HTML

Advantages of HTML:

Easy to Learn: HTML has a simple and straightforward syntax, making it easy for beginners to learn and understand.
Platform Independent: HTML is platform-independent and can be used on any operating system or device that has a web browser.
Wide Browser Support: HTML is supported by all major web browsers, ensuring compatibility and accessibility across different platforms.

Disadvantages of HTML:

Limited Styling Options: HTML has limited styling capabilities compared to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). While HTML can define basic styles, more complex and detailed styling is better achieved using CSS.
Lack of Interactivity: HTML on its own is static and lacks interactivity. To add dynamic behavior or functionality to web pages, additional technologies such as JavaScript or server-side languages are required.
Browser Compatibility Issues: Different web browsers may interpret HTML code differently, leading to potential compatibility issues. Developers must test and ensure cross-browser compatibility.
Security Risks: HTML alone does not provide built-in security features. Web developers must implement security measures and follow best practices to protect against vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

2. Basic HTML

Tags, element, attributes, basic strcuture of HTML, text formatting tags, links, images, lists, tables, basic forms

2.1 Tag content attribute element

What is Tag & its syntax?

Tag is the heart of html; HTML document is mainly built with tag.
Tag Syntax: <keyword> ; Inside the angular brackets we need to write predefined keywords to use html tag.
Small / capital letters both can be used when writing html tag; however small letter is prefered.
Example: <p> This is a paragraph </p> In the example, <p> is an opening tag, </p> is a closing tag and This is a paragraph is called content. In between the starting tag to end tag we have content. Everything from starting tag to end tag is called Element

What are the types of Tag?

There are 2 types of html tag: Pair/container tag and empty tag
Pair tag has starting and ending; However, empty tag has no closing tag.

Some of the example of pair tag and empty tags are given below:

<!-- Some examples of Pair/Container Tag -->
<html>
  ...
</html>
<head>
  ...
</head>
<body>
  ...
</body>
<p>...</p>
<h1>...</h1>
<script>
  ...
</script>
<style></style>
....

<!-- Some examples of Empty Tag -->
<meta />
<link />
<br />
<hr />
<img />
<input />
...

What is attribute & how to use attribute?

Attribute helps tag to extend its capabilities
In the following example, <img/> is tag; src, height, width are the attributes
```
<img src="anis.jpg" height="200" width="200" />
```
Attribute Syntax: attributeName="attributeValue"

HTML basic structure

HTML document has 2 important part: head, body

In the following example a basic structure of a HTML document

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    TITLE, META TAG ETC.
  </head>
  <body>
    CONTENT OF THE WEBPAGE
  </body>
</html>

Always use <!DOCTYPE html> to tell the browser what type of document to expect; remember it is not a tag, just a declaration
Every HTML document must have <html> pair tag and Inside <html> tag we use <head> and <body> as the example shows above.
Inside head tag we use meta tag, set title etc.
Inside body tag we write everything that we want to display on web page.

Environment setup

Editor: VScode / Notepad++ / Sublime
Browser: Google Chrome / Firefox
Version Control: GitHub

First HTML Program

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Document</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    This is my first webpage <br />
    I am Anisul Islam <br />
    A full stack web developer & passionate computer science teacher<br />
  </body>
</html>

Here, lang attribute refers to the language; attribute value en refers to english
Inside <head> tag we have set title of the webpage using <title> tag
Inside <body> tag we are displaying some text. here <br/> tag creates a line break

Headings, Paragraph, Horizontal rule

<body>
  <!--6 heading tags-->
  <h1>This is a h1</h1>
  <h2>This is a h2</h2>
  <h3>This is a h3</h3>
  <h4>This is a h4</h4>
  <h5>This is a h5</h5>
  <h6>This is a h6</h6>

  <!--to create a paragrap use p tag-->
  <p>This is a paragraph. I am writing a paragraph here.</p>

  <!--to create a horizontal rule use hr tag-->
  <hr size="2" />
</body>

output of the text-formatting tags is below:
There are 6 HTML heading levels. <h1> is the largest level and <h6> is the smallest level.
by default, heading tags and paragraph tag create new line (block level element)
<hr size="2"/> here <hr/> is an empty tag responsible for creating horizontal rule and size attribute set the heights of the horizontal rule in pixel

Styling html elemnts

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />

    <style>
      body {
        background-color: #222;
      }
      h1 {
        /* color: white; */
        /* color: #fff; */
        color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
        text-align: center;
      }
    </style>

    <title>Document</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Bangladesh is my motherland. I miss Bangladesh a lot.</h1>
    <p style="color: green;">I also miss my family</p>
  </body>
</html>

From the example, you can see that for styling html elements inside the html documents we can use style tag or style attribute
style attribute in HTML: style="property: value; property: value..." (from the example you can see that <p> tag has style attribute where paragraph color is set as green)
style tag in HTML: <style> ... </style> tag must be used inside the head tag as shown in this example. In this example you can see that <h1> and <body> tag has styling property like color, text-align, background-color.
To set color of an html element we can use color name / hexadecimal color code / rgb color / hsl code as a value of color property as shown in this example for h1 tag.

2.2 Debugging

Inspect Element: Within the browser developer tools, the "Inspect Element" feature allows you to examine and modify the HTML structure in real-time. You can navigate through the document tree, view CSS styles, and experiment with changes to identify and fix layout or formatting issues.
Use Comments: Insert comments () within your HTML code to temporarily remove or isolate sections of code that might be causing issues. This helps you narrow down the problematic area and identify the source of the problem.
After writing your html code you can check the validity on this website https://validator.w3.org/

2.3 Text Formatting tags

Text Formatting tags: Applying formatting to text using tags like strong, em, u, s, sup, sub, blockquote, and code.

<body>
  <!-- b(bold) and strong tag are quite similar -->
  <b>This is a bold text</b> <br />
  <strong>This is a strong text</strong> <br />

  <!-- i(italic) and em(emphasize) tag are quite similar -->
  <i>This is a italic text</i> <br />
  <em>This is a emphasize text</em> <br />

  <!-- u(underline) -->
  <u>This is a italic text</u> <br />

  <!--tags can be used inside one another-->
  <b>bold. <i> italic and bold</i></b> <br />

  <mark>Important task should be highlighted</mark> <br />
  <!-- del (deleted) -->
  <del>This is a deleted text</del> <br />

  <!-- sup (superscript), sub(subscript) -->
  H<sub>2</sub>O <br />
  (a+b)<sup>2</sup> <br />

  <!-- pre tag helps to show text as you want to formatted -->
  <pre>
      This is a
        life changing documentation
      Read,learn, enjoy
        ofcourse share with others
  </pre>

  <abbr title="google is a search engine">Google</abbr>
  <address>Anisul Islam 192 anis road, London United Kingdom</address>

  <h2>What our customer thinks?</h2>
  <blockquote>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed varius</p>
    <footer>John Doe</footer>
  </blockquote>

  <code> console.log("hello"); </code>
</body>

output of the text-formatting tags is below:

The <blockquote> tag is used to enclose a block of quoted text. It is commonly used to represent quotations, excerpts, or highlighted text. The <p> element inside the <blockquote> represents the quoted text, and the <footer> element provides attribution or the source of the quote.
The <code> tag is used to define a section of code or programming instructions. It is commonly used for displaying code snippets or highlighting code within a paragraph.

2.4 Entity, comment, Symbol, Color

Comment syntax example

<!-- This is a comment -->

Entity syntax example

&copy; &lt; &gt; &gt; &hearts; &nbsp;

First example shows the example of a html comment
second example shows an example of entity
To create an entity first write & then give a keyword and then give a semicolon
© will create copyright symbol
< will create less than symbol
> will create greater than symbol
&hearts; will create hearts symbol

2.5 List - Ordered, Unordered, Description

Adding list items (li) to organize and present information.
Mainly there are 3 types of list available in html: ordered list, unordered list, description list
- ol (ordered list) tag is used for creating ordered list.
  - <ol type="...">: Specifies the type of ordered list markers. Values: "1" (default) for numeric markers, "A", "a", "I" for uppercase Roman numerals, and "i".
  - <ol start="...">: Specifies the starting value of an ordered list.
  - <ol reversed>: Reverses the order of the items in an ordered list.
- ul (unordered list) tag is used for creating unordered list.
  - <ul compact>: Sets the spacing between list items to be more compact.
  - type Values: "circle" for circular markers, "square" for square markers, or "disc" for filled round markers.
- dl (description list) tag is used for creating description list, dt (description term), dd (description details)
- li (list) tag is a common tag for both ordered and unordered list example
```

output of the list code

2.6 Link

Linking to other pages within the website and external websites.
Creating hyperlinks using the <a> ... </a> tag and understanding attributes like href, target, and rel.
- Inside <a> link href="url" attribute is used where we give the address where we want to visit based on click
- Inside <a> link target="_blank" attribute is used to open a new tab for the visited page/site
- As shown in the following example we can send email by clicking the link for that we have to use href="mailto:EMAIL_ADDRESS_HERE"
- As shown in the following example we can call somone by clicking the link for that we have to use href="tel:PHONE_NUMBER_HERE"
```
<body>
  <h3>Contact Me</h3>
  <a href="http://www.studywithanis.com" target="_blank">website</a> <br />

  <br />
  <a href="mailto:anisul2010s@yahoo.co.uk" target="_blank">Mail Me</a>
</body>
```
output of the html link code

2.7 Image and iframe

image

For adding image on webpage we use <img /> tag as shown in the following example.
some common attribute for <img /> tag: src, alt, height, width, title
syntax for adding image: <img src="imagename" alt="alternative" title="profile image">
src attribute needs the image address
alt attribute shows some text about image if image is not found
title attribute shows some tooltip text when we hover over the image
height and width attribute helps us to set the height and width of image
loading="lazy" if you have too many images and you want to load them lazily (after loading the other things first then you want to load images)
we can use <img> tag inside of <a> tag so that when we click an image it will take us to a link. <a href="" target="_blank"> <img src="" alt="" /> </a>

iframe

iframe helps us to display any website, youtube video or map inside our own webpage
iframe Example

<iframe
  width="560"
  height="315"
  src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oN8aS_HW4k8"
  title="YouTube video player"
  allowfullscreen
>
</iframe>

2.8 Table

Understanding table structure, headers, rows, colspan, rowspan and data cells.

HTML Basic Table

- checked attribute is used to set an input field already checked.
- disabled attribute is used to make a input field disable.
- size="" attribute is used to set the number of characters for an input field.
- maxlength="" attribute is used to set the maximum number of characters for an input field.
- placeholder="" attribute is used to give a hint to the users.
- step="" attribute specifies steps for input field.
- autofocus attribute makes an input field automatically focus when the page is loaded.
- height="" width="" attribute is used to set input elements height and width.
- list="id_of_datalist" attribute is used to set input elements height and width.

A form example is given below:

<form action="/" method="post">
  <div>
    <datalist id="usernames">

output of the above html code

3. Advanced HTML

3.1 Multimedia - audio, video

audio

<audio> ... </audio> tag helps us to add audio in our webpage
<audio> ... </audio> tag has some attributes such as controls autoplay muted height width
audio example shows how to add aduio source by using <source /> tag
Inside <source /> tag we must define the src="" src address/name and also the type="" of audio
as the example shows there are 2 <source /> tag is used if the first format is not supported by the browser then second one will work. if first and second both is not supported by the browser then Your browser does not support the audio element. will work.

audio Example
```
<audio controls autoplay muted height="300" width="300">
  <source src="anis.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
  <source src="anis.wav" type="audio/wav">
  Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio
```

video

<video> ... </video> tag helps us to add video in our webpage
<video> ... </video> tag has some attributes such as controls autoplay muted height width

video Example

<video controls autoplay muted height="300" width="300">
  <source src="anis.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="anis.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video element.
</video

3.2 Meta tags & SEO

Using meta tags (<meta>) to define page metadata, such as title, description, and keywords. Understanding the impact of meta tags on search engine optimization (SEO).

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8" />
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
  <meta name="description" content="Free complete html tutorials 2021" />
  <meta name="keywords" content="HTML, html, html5" />
  <meta name="author" content="Anisul Islam" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
  <style>
    body {
      background-color: aquamarine;
    }
  </style>
  <script src="index.js"></script>
  <title>Document</title>
</head>

Inside <head> tag we can define metadata(document title, character set, links, scripts, styles), other information that will not be visible to the users
meta tag provides information to the browsers and search engines about the webpage
<meta charset="UTF-8" /> defines the character encoding for the HTML document.
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" /> for supporting older version of IE.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> defines that webpage width is related to devices width and initial zoom level is 1.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> generally connects css file to html. Inside of href attribute we give the css file name.
<style> ... </style> we can use <style> ... </style> tag directly inside the head tag for designing html elements.
<script src="index.js"></script> generally connects js file to html. we can also use <script> ... </script> tag directly inside the body tag.

3.3 Sematic HTML

div can help to divide screen but it is not semantic
purpose of HTML5
- adding more semantic tags
- more form types
- improve accessibility
- improved storage facilities
- improved graphics & media
- remove few things
HTML5 Semantic elements: <header> <nav> <main> <article> <aside> <section> <footer> <figure> <figcaption> <details> <summary> <mark> <time>
sematic tags vs non semantic tags
- semantic tags are meaningful tags for human, search engine. example: <form> <table> <p> <h1> etc.
- non-semantic tags are not meaningful tags for human, search engine. example: <span> <div> etc.
- sematic tags vs non semantic tags example is given below:

details and figure elements

<details> elements have tewo states: closed, open
<summary> a short summary of details is provided by summary element
<figure> can have diagram, photos inside of it.

<figcaption> can set the figure caption.

An example of details, summary elements are given below:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Document</title>
    <style>
      details[open] > summary {
        background-color: aqua;
      }
    </style>
  </head>
  <body>
    <details>
      <summary>Anisul Islam</summary>
      My Name is Anisul Islam. I am 31 years old. I have done my masters in
      Software, Web & cloud at Tampere University, Finland.
    </details>

    <!-- no need to understand this part cause I just tested using javascript here -->
    <!-- <script>
      const details = document.querySelector("details");
      details.addEventListener("toggle", () => {
        if (details.open) {
          console.log("open");
        } else {
          console.log("close");
        }
      });
    </script> -->
    <figure>
      <img src="./images/list.png" alt="list" />
      <figcaption>fig1: list image</figcaption>
    </figure>
  </body>
</html>

output of the heading style code

3.4 Web accessibility

what is web accessibility?
- making website supportive for disable people and search engine
how to check web accessibility?
- inspect -> lighthouse -> accessibility
- axe Devtools for accessibility testing
- chromeVox for screen reading

Use Semantic elements over non semantic elements.

semantic tags are meaningful tags for human, search engine. example: <form> <table> <p> <h1> etc.
non-semantic tags are not meaningful tags for human, search engine. example: <span> <div> etc.
In the following example button is more accessible than div for making a button. Semantic elements help the screen readers.

<div>Click me</div>
<button>Click me</button>

Example of explicit semantic vs implicit sematic element

<div role="button">Click me</div>
<button>Click me</button>

landmarks helps to naviagte from one place to another: header, h1...h6, main, nav, footer

Use Heading tags in order

use one h1 element in a webpage
keep sequence when using: h1 -> h2 -> h3 ... (follow top-down order)

Use alt attribute

use alt attribute for <img /> element
alt attribute provides more info to the blind people
low bandwidth might not render the image so the alt will help here
alt attributes helps technologies like search engines
title attribute can be used when we hover over image to get extra information

Contrast ratio checker

use contrast ratio checker for foreground and background color: https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/

Declare the languages

<html lang="en">

Meaningful Link txt

make link text descriptive, understandable and clear <a href="http://studywithanis.com" target="_blank"> Visit Anisul Islam's website </a>

Form related matters

use label and bind input elements with label by using id and for value same. example is given below:

<label for="email">Email: </label> <input type="email" id="email" />

<div class="form-control">
  <fieldset>
    <legend>Choose Gender:</legend>
    <div class="form-control">
      <input type="radio" id="male" name="gender" value="male" />
      <label for="male">Male</label>
    </div>
    <div class="form-control">
      <input type="radio" id="female" name="gender" value="female" />
      <label for="female">Female</label>
    </div>
  </fieldset>
</div>

use aria-label vs aria-labelby vs aria-descriptionby

these attribute has no visual impact but they are for assistive purpose. use them only when you can not use semantic elements
The aria-label and aria-labelledby attributes are both used to give an element it's accessible name.
using forms with standards labels - you shouldn't need it at all: -> label, for is more than enough
aria-label add accessible name directly to an element and it has higher priority than the element value. In the following example screen reader will say learn more about me instead of learn more
```
<button aria-label="Learn more about me">Learn more</button>
```

aria-labelby create a relationship between elements

<h3 id="hobbies">Hobbies</h3>
<ul aria-labelledby="hobbies">
  <li>Playing Football</li>
  <li>Playing Badminton</li>
  <li>Swimming</li>
</ul>

aria-descriptionby

<div>
  <label for="password"> Password </label>
  <input
    type="password"
    name="password"
    id="password"
    aria-describedby="help"
    required
  />
  <div id="help">Pasword must be at least 8 character long</div>
</div>

role and tabindex -> tabindex can start from 0 then -1, -2 for lesser priority so that you can navigate by keyboard one after one in an order

  <!-- use nav, role, tabindex, aria-label for an accessible navbar  -->

  <!-- NOT ACCESSIBLE -->
  <div id="nav">
    <a href="#">Home</a>
    <a href="#about">About Me</a>
    <a href="#tutorial">Tutorials</a>
    <a href="#contact">Contact Me</a>
  </div>

  <!-- ACCESSIBLE  -->
  <nav aria-label="navigation menu">
    <ul id="menubar" role="menubar" aria-label="navigation menu">
      <li role="none">
        <a href="#" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">Home</a>
      </li>
      <li role="none">
        <a href="#about" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">About Me</a>
      </li>
      <ul role="menu" aria-label="tutorials">
        <li role="none">
          <a href="#tutorials" role="menuitem" tabindex="0">Tutorials</a>
          <ul>
            <li role="none">
              <a href="#html" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">HTML</a>
            </li>
            <li role="none">
              <a href="#css" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">CSS</a>
            </li>
          </ul>
        </li>
      </ul>
      <li role="none">
        <a href="#contact" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1">Contact Me</a>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </nav>

3.6 HTML5 API

Exploring HTML5 APIs like Geolocation, Drag and Drop, Web Storage, and Web Workers. Understanding their usage and practical applications.

Geolocation API:

The Geolocation API allows you to retrieve the user's geographic location information.

Example:

if (navigator.geolocation) {
  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (position) {
    var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
    var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
    console.log("Latitude: " + latitude + ", Longitude: " + longitude);
  });
} else {
  console.log("Geolocation is not supported by this browser.");
}

Drag and Drop API:

The Drag and Drop API enables you to create drag-and-drop interactions between elements on a web page.

Example:

var draggableElement = document.getElementById("draggable");
var dropZone = document.getElementById("drop-zone");

draggableElement.addEventListener("dragstart", function (event) {
  event.dataTransfer.setData("text/plain", event.target.id);
});

dropZone.addEventListener("dragover", function (event) {
  event.preventDefault();
});

dropZone.addEventListener("drop", function (event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  var data = event.dataTransfer.getData("text/plain");
  var element = document.getElementById(data);
  dropZone.appendChild(element);
});

Web Storage API:

The Web Storage API provides a way to store key-value pairs locally in the user's browser.

Example:

// Store data
localStorage.setItem("username", "John");

// Retrieve data
var username = localStorage.getItem("username");
console.log(username);

// Remove data
localStorage.removeItem("username");

Canvas API:

The Canvas API allows you to draw graphics and animations on a web page using JavaScript.

Example:

var canvas = document.getElementById("my-canvas");
var context = canvas.getContext("2d");

context.fillStyle = "red";
context.fillRect(50, 50, 100, 100);

context.strokeStyle = "blue";
context.lineWidth = 2;
context.strokeRect(75, 75, 50, 50);

context.beginPath();
context.arc(150, 150, 50, 0, 2 * Math.PI);
context.fillStyle = "green";
context.fill();
context.closePath();

3.7 HTML Templates and Web Components

Building reusable HTML templates and components using <template> and custom elements.

<template id="user-template">
  <div class="user-card">
    <h2 class="user-name"></h2>
    <p class="user-email"></p>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
  // Clone the template and populate the data
  var template = document.getElementById("user-template");
  var clone = template.content.cloneNode(true);
  clone.querySelector(".user-name").textContent = "John Doe";
  clone.querySelector(".user-email").textContent = "john.doe@example.com";

  // Insert the cloned template into the document
  document.body.appendChild(clone);
</script>

Leveraging frameworks like Angular, React, or Vue.js for more advanced component-based development.
