HTML Tutorial 11 - Learning about Attributes Video Lecture | HTML Basics- Create a designed webpage from Scratch - Software Development

hey everybody it's Brian again if you're
following along in our HTML tutorials
this is video number 11 today we're
going to talk about attributes if you've
been watching the videos you notice that
a lot of these tags like in the last one
the paragraph tag we use the attribute
align well how do you know what
attributes go with what tags well the
answer to that is simple you get a look
them up or use a program to write the
code for you but today we're going to
discuss looking them up HTML was
actually created by the World Wide Web
Consortium well not really created by
them but they managed the protocol in
the standard the actual RFQ just so you
know they're the people who manage it
and the standard is changing constantly
right now we're on the verge of our
leaching excuse me
releasing HTML 5.0 that will have a lot
of rich media which may or may not get
rid of flash we'll see there's a big
debate about it anyways so just go to
Google type in w3schools
and you can see dub-dub-dub w3schools
calm and just go to your language of
choice you can see there's a bunch of
them this case HTML and you can see
there's a whole list of things on the
side here you've got basic elements
attributes headings let's just click on
HTML attributes and there is a complete
HTML reference this might be a little
helpful here you can see the standard is
for the HTML 4.01 xhtml 1.0 don't really
worry about the acronyms at this point
just know that you're looking for HTML 4
and let's find a tag that we've worked
with before we've worked with the a tag
the anchor now that looks familiar
that's a link you've done these before a
couple times
now this shows you let me scroll up here
this is the supported browsers you have
Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google
Chrome Safari that means that the anchor
tag is supported by all major browsers
yes believe it or not some tags don't
work in some browsers many of you from
the glory days of the Internet will
remember the marquee tag which scrolled
things across the screen and how it
looked really cool in one browser and
didn't work in another or the blink tag
that blink text oh my gosh that just I
still have headaches thinking about that
okay now here are the attributes for the
anchor tag you've seen HRF before value
Earl that specifies the destination link
so as you can see just looking this up
you can tell real quickly what things
are like Target that's something we
haven't talked about yet blank parent
self top or frame specifies where the
where to open the link in the document
basically blank opens a blank page
parent opens in the parent page self as
the soft-top is pretty much the same
thing and frame name frames we haven't
really gotten into yet frames you can
take a page and chop it up into multiple
pages and display them all at the same
time but really what I wanted to point
out is you can go to sites like Google
and w3schools com and you can find these
attributes and they're usually pretty
self-explanatory and for example here's
some some supported attributes like on
blur on click on focus on mouse down on
mouse move I mean you can get some
pretty neat control over some of these
things so when in doubt look it up go to
google type things in just explore I
mean it's all about learning don't feel
bad for asking questions that's why
things like Google exists all right well
thank you for watching I hope you found
this educational and entertaining and
the next one we are going to get into a
little more in depth so stay tuned
