HTML
Hypertext Markup Language. The language of the Web page. It starts with
<whatever> and closes with </whatever>.
Also you sandwich the codes. Look at the first line of this page resource.
<html><head><title>AZLA '98 presentation:Glossary</title></head>
</html> will come at the very end of the page. It's not case sensitive.
In other words, it doesn't matter if you type in lower case or capital letters.
You can type in <HTML> and <html>, and doesn't
change a thing.
URL
Universal Resource Locater. It is like an address for a Web page. Usually it starts with
http://
Absolute URL and relative URL
This page's URL is http://www.unm.edu/~kschnei/azla98/glossary.html You can access from
anywhere, and that is absolute URL. Relative URL is when you make a link, you shorten
it from the site you are at. The folder structure determines how short you can do.
For example, if you are going from http://www.unm.edu/~kschnei/azla98/glossary.html
to http://www.unm.edu/~kschnei/azla98/resources.html, relative URL is resources.html.
It is recommended to use relative URL, but when I get frustrated with file structure,
I just type in absolute, and that works just fine. (It is more typing, I guess.)
Hyperlink
It could be a part of text or image (graphics or photo) that you click to take you to
another Web page. Hyperlink text link usually has a different color. Look at the bottom
of this page where three elements Presentation, Foreign Letter, Resources are shown.
Once you go there and come back, it also changes color to tell you that you have visited
there. Default is black for regular text, blue for unvisited link, purple for visited link.
Title
It is a part of "head", not the "body". It is on the VERY top of Web page, even top of
navigation buttons, back, forward and so forth. When you "Bookmark" to come back easily,
this title will show up.
Headers
It is like Title, but this is in the "body" part. <H1> is the biggest
and 6 is the smallest.
Paragraph and break
They don't need to close, in other words, it stands alone. You don't need, </p> nor
</br>. After <br>, the text will start with the next line.
After <p>, the rest of the line will be blank and there will be a whole
blank line, and start with a new one. It is a little different from what you think as
paragraph, because it wouldn't give you 4 or 5 spaces. It starts with the far left.
