0 Subject: HTML lessons 1-3 recap

Posted by: JeffG
- [25414311] Fri, Jun 09, 14:59

Thanks to Gary and all others who responded to the HTML lessons. I have been compiling notes on all the lessons and info from them to date. Here is a recap:

HTML Lesson #1

Add a link to a post

[A href="http://espn.go.com/mlb/today/sco.html"]ESPN Scoreboard[/A]

In this example ESPN Scoreboard would be hyperlinked

add target="_blank" to the above to get it to open in a seperate window, it looks like the following:

[A href="http://espn.go.com/mlb/today/sco.html" Target="_blank"]ESPN Scoreboard[/A]

=================================================================
HTML Lesson #2

Add an image

[Img src="http://rotoguru.com/images/baseball.gif"]

One more tip. You can change the size of a pic that is displayed by adding height= # or width= # at the end of the tag inside of the "]" like this.

[img src="http://www.geocities.com/feazdaddy/guru.gif" width=150]

To eliminate the border, add border=0 in the img tag

To get a little box with a description when cursor is over image add alt='xxxxx' to the img tag

=====================================================================
HTML Lesson #3

Make a hyperlink for an image

[a href="http://rotoguru.com/"][img src="http://rotoguru.com/images/gfs2.gif"][/a]

======================================================================

Misc

[b]this would be in bold[/b]
[i]this would be in italics[/i]

======================================================

To use an image as a background:

[BODY BACKGROUND="http://www.geocities.com/jeff_g_ny/YANKBACKGROUND.GIF"]


===========================================================

Buttons:

this will change background color when hit

[form]
[input type="button" value="magenta" onClick="document.bgColor='magenta'"]
[/form]

this will generate an alert when hit

[form]
[input type="button" value="insider info" onClick="alert('message here')"]
[/form]


=========================================================
Mouse over

set status on mouseover

[a HREF="test.html" onMouseOver="self.status='Your message would go here.';return true"]Move your mouse here![/a]

alert on mouseover

[a HREF="test.html" onMouseOver="alert('Your message would go here!')"]Now move it here![/a]

change color on mouse over, reset on mouse out

[a HREF="test.html" onMouseOver="document.bgColor='purple' onMouseOut="document.bgColor='white'"]Roll mouse over here![/a]

Mouse over to change image (note image [#])

[A HREF="http://rotoguru.com/images/baseball.gif" onmouseout="document.images[10].src='http://rotoguru.com/images/gfs2.gif'; return true;" onmouseover="document.images[10].src='http://www.majorleaguebaseball.com/images/baseball/mlbcom/hdr_l.gif'; return true;" ][Img src="http://rotoguru.com/images/gfs2.gif"][/A]

==============================================
colors and fonts

[font color=blue size+3]RotoGuru.com[/font]

to make a smiley face:

[font face=wingdings]J[/font]
============================================
Inputs

within a form
[INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="innings" Size=7]

BUTT, one note to actually make the HTML work as shown in the examples you need to change every [ into a < and every ] into a >. Of couse JeffG didn't do this because instead of seeing the examples you would see the html results.

Matt. The first image on the webpage is image number 0, the next 1, etc.

I have been playing with HTML since these lessons and have a few more notes that I have been compiling of some new things to try. Enjoy!

==============================================

Counter on your webpage

Number of hits since counter began=[IMG SRC="http://www.somtel.com/cgi-bin/digits.pl?name=guruhtmlles123|style=digital" Border=0 height=30 width=55]

Note: Give a unique id after the name=.

Here is the result:

Number of hits since counter began=


=============================================

Marquee - words scrolling right to left, left to right, etc.

[marquee][font color= orange size=+3]Howdy![/marquee]

right to left:

[marquee direction=right]Hi there![/marquee]

bounce right to left, then left to right:

[marquee behavior=alternate]Boing![/marquee]

faster:

[marquee scrollamount=50]Zip! Zip! Zip![/marquee]

in a background color:

[marquee bgcolor=aaaaee]This is fun![/marquee]

Here are the results:

Howdy!

Hi there!

Zip! Zip! Zip!

This is fun!

Here is another cool HTML thing to do...

Add sound to a web page:

To click to hear sound byte:

[A href="http://www.geocities.com/jeff_g_ny/Yank.wav"]Yankees win[/a]

To have sound play automatically upon entering a page:

Netscape (EMBED) or Explorer(BGSOUND):

[EMBED SRC="http://www.geocities.com/jeff_g_ny/Yank.wav" WIDTH=144 HEIGHT=60 AUTOSTART="true"][BR]

[BGSOUND SRC="http://www.geocities.com/jeff_g_ny/Yank.wav" AUTOSTART="true"][P]

Somehow this only works for me in Netscape and not Explorer. Sort of the opposite of the Marquee issue.

You should have heard the sound when you entered this page in Netscape. To click to hear it, try below:

Yankees win

Hate New York City, it's cold and it's damp. And all the people dressed like monkeys. Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos. That town's a little bit too rugged for you and me you bad girl...
