-HTML Color Values
Posted in | 0 Comments
Colors are displayed combining RED, GREEN, and BLUE light sources.
Color Values
HTML colors are defined using a hexadecimal notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (hex #00). The highest value is 255 (hex #FF).
Turn Off the Red
If you turn off the Red light completely, there are 65536 different combination of Green and Blue (256 x 256) to experiment with.
Click here to see some of these combinations of Green and Blue.
Turn On the Red
By setting the Red parameter to its maximum value, there are still 65536 different combination of Green and Blue (256 x 256) to experiment with.
Click here to see some of these combinations of Green and Blue.
16 Million Different Colors
The combination of Red, Green and Blue values from 0 to 255 gives a total of more than 16 million different colors to play with (256 x 256 x 256).
Most modern monitors are capable of displaying at least 16384 different colors.
If you look at the color table below, you will see the result of varying the red light from 0 to 255, while keeping the green and blue light at zero.

W3C Standard Color Names
W3C has listed 16 color names that will validate with an HTML validator.
The color names are: aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and yellow.
Cross-browser Color Names
A collection of nearly 150 color names are supported by all major browsers.

Cross-browser Color Values
Some years ago, when most computers only supported 256 different colors, a list of 216 Web Safe Colors was suggested as a Web standard. The reason for this was that the Microsoft and Mac operating system used 40 different "reserved" fixed system colors (about 20 each).
We are not sure how important this is now, since most computers today have the ability to display millions of different colors, but the choice is left to you.
The 216 cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers would display the colors correctly when running a 256 color palette:

-HTML Backgrounds
Posted in | 0 Comments
A good background can make a Web site look really great.
Examples
Good background and text colorAn example of a background color and a text color that makes the text on the page easy to read.
Bad background and text colorAn example of a background color and a text color that makes the text on the page difficult to read.
(You can find more examples at the bottom of this page)
Backgrounds
The tag has two attributes where you can specify backgrounds. The background can be a color or an image.
Bgcolor
The bgcolor attribute specifies a background-color for an HTML page. The value of this attribute can be a hexadecimal number, an RGB value, or a color name:
The lines above all set the background-color to black.
Background
The background attribute specifies a background-image for an HTML page. The value of this attribute is the URL of the image you want to use. If the image is smaller than the browser window, the image will repeat itself until it fills the entire browser window.
The URL can be relative (as in the first line above) or absolute (as in the second line above).
Note: If you want to use a background image, you should keep in mind:
Will the background image increase the loading time too much?
Will the background image look good with other images on the page?
Will the background image look good with the text colors on the page?
Will the background image look good when it is repeated on the page?
Will the background image take away the focus from the text?
Basic Notes - Useful Tips
The bgcolor, background, and the text attributes in the tag are deprecated in the latest versions of HTML (HTML 4 and XHTML). The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has removed these attributes from its recommendations.
Style sheets (CSS) should be used instead (to define the layout and display properties of HTML elements).
More Examples
Good background imageAn example of a background image and a text color that makes the text on the page easy to read.
Good background image 2An example of a background image and a text color that makes the text on the page easy to read.
Bad background imageAn example of a background image and a text color that makes the text on the page very difficult to read.
Computer Joke
Support: "Type dir, space, a, colon."
Customer: "With a space after 'space'?"
-HTML Images
Posted in | 1 Comments
With HTML you can display images in a document.
Examples
Insert imagesThis example demonstrates how to display images in your Web page.
Insert images from different locationsThis example demonstrates how to display images from another folder or another server in your Web page.
(You can find more examples at the bottom of this page)
The Image Tag and the Src Attribute
In HTML, images are defined with the tag.
The tag is empty, which means that it contains attributes only and it has no closing tag.
To display an image on a page, you need to use the src attribute. Src stands for "source". The value of the src attribute is the URL of the image you want to display on your page.
The syntax of defining an image:
The URL points to the location where the image is stored. An image named "boat.gif" located in the directory "images" on "www.w3schools.com" has the URL: http://www.w3schools.com/images/boat.gif.
The browser puts the image where the image tag occurs in the document. If you put an image tag between two paragraphs, the browser shows the first paragraph, then the image, and then the second paragraph.
The Alt Attribute
The alt attribute is used to define an "alternate text" for an image. The value of the alt attribute is an author-defined text:
The "alt" attribute tells the reader what he or she is missing on a page if the browser can't load images. The browser will then display the alternate text instead of the image. It is a good practice to include the "alt" attribute for each image on a page, to improve the display and usefulness of your document for people who have text-only browsers.
Basic Notes - Useful Tips
If an HTML file contains ten images - eleven files are required to display the page right. Loading images take time, so my best advice is: Use images carefully.
More Examples
Background imageThis example demonstrates how to add a background image to an HTML page.
Aligning imagesThis example demonstrates how to align an image within the text.
Let the image floatThis example demonstrates how to let an image float to the left or right of a paragraph.

Password fieldsThis example demonstrates how to create a password field on an HTML page.
(You can find more examples at the bottom of this page)
Forms
A form is an area that can contain form elements.
Form elements are elements that allow the user to enter information (like text fields, textarea fields, drop-down menus, radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.) in a form.
A form is defined with the
Input
The most used form tag is the tag. The type of input is specified with the type attribute. The most commonly used input types are explained below.
Text Fields
Text fields are used when you want the user to type letters, numbers, etc. in a form.
How it looks in a browser:
First name: Last name:
Note that the form itself is not visible. Also note that in most browsers, the width of the text field is 20 characters by default.
Radio Buttons
Radio Buttons are used when you want the user to select one of a limited number of choices.
How it looks in a browser:
Male Female
Note that only one option can be chosen.
Checkboxes
Checkboxes are used when you want the user to select one or more options of a limited number of choices.
How it looks in a browser:
I have a bike: I have a car: I have an airplane:
The Form's Action Attribute and the Submit Button
When the user clicks on the "Submit" button, the content of the form is sent to another file. The form's action attribute defines the name of the file to send the content to. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input.
How it looks in a browser:
Username:
If you type some characters in the text field above, and click the "Submit" button, you will send your input to a page called "html_form_action.asp". That page will show you the received input.
