The Best Place for HTML beginners to kick start their web designing career
(Introduction - From the site)
The thing to keep in mind is that HTML and CSS are all about separating the content (HTML) and the presentation(CSS). HTML is nothing more than fancy structured content and the visual formatting of that content will come later when we tackle CSS.
If you have looked at other HTML tutorials, you might have found that they mention certain things that HTML Dog does not. This is because many methods are obsolete, non-standard or just plain bad practice. Getting into the frame of mind of doing things the right way from the start will turn in to much better results in the end.
Contents
- Getting Started - What you need to do to get going and make your first HTML page.
- Tags, Attributes and Elements - The stuff that makes up HTML.
- Page Titles - Titles. For Pages. Difficult to get your head around, I know…
- Paragraphs - Structuring your content with paragraphs.
- Headings - The six levels of headings.
- Lists - How to define ordered and unordered lists.
- Links - How to link things together.
- Images - Adding something a bit more than text…
- Tables - How to use tabular data.
- Forms - Text boxes and other user-input thingamajigs.
- Putting It All Together - Taking all of the above stuff and shoving it together. Sort of a recap thing.
