<!-- Other form elements go here -->
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Semantic vs. Non-Semantic Elements

In HTML, elements can be classified into two categories: semantic and non-semantic.

Semantic Elements: Semantic elements have meaning and convey the structure of the content. They
are used to define the purpose and significance of different parts of the webpage, making it more
understandable for both humans and search engines. Examples include <header>, <nav>, <section>,
<article>, <footer>, and <aside>.

Example (Semantic Element - <header>):


<header>
<h1>Website Header</h1>
<p>Welcome to our website.</p>
</header>

Non-Semantic Elements: Non-semantic elements do not carry inherent meaning about their
content. They are used for formatting and layout purposes. Examples include <div>, <span>, and
<table> (when used for layout rather than tabular data).

Example (Non-Semantic Element - <div>):


<div id="header">
<h1>Website Header</h1>
<p>Welcome to our website.</p>
</div>
Note: While non-semantic elements like <div> and <span> are essential for layout and styling, it's
good practice to use semantic elements where appropriate to enhance the structure and
accessibility of your webpage.

These refined notes provide detailed explanations, common attributes, and examples for HTML tags,
HTML5 elements, semantic vs. non-semantic elements, and form elements.

Block level Elements and Inline Elements


Block Level Elements:

A block-level element always starts on a new line, and the browsers automatically add some space (a
margin) before and after the element.

A block-level element always takes up the full width available (stretches out to the left and right as
far as it can).

Two commonly used block elements are: <p> and <div>.

The <p> element defines a paragraph in an HTML document.

The <div> element defines a division or a section in an HTML document.

The <p> element is a block-level element.


The <div> element is a block-level element.

Here are the block-level elements in HTML:

Inline Elements:

An inline element does not start on a new line.

An inline element only takes up as much width as necessary.

This is a <span> element inside a paragraph.

Here are the inline elements in HTML:


2. HTMLS Tags Lists and Tables
HTML Lists

HTML lists allow you to group a set of related items in lists. There are two main
types: ordered lists (<ol>) and unordered lists (<ul>).

Basic Example: Unordered List

html
<ul>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ul>

This code creates a simple bullet-point list of items.

Basic Example: Ordered List

html
<ol>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>
This code creates a numbered list of items.

Intermediate Example: Nested Lists

html
<ul>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Tea
<ol>
<li>Black Tea</li>
<li>Green Tea</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ul>

This snippet demonstrates how to nest an ordered list within an unordered list
for hierarchical data representation.

HTML Tables

HTML tables are used to display data in a tabular format, defined using the
<table> tag, along with <tr> (table row), <th> (table header), and <td> (table
data) for the content.

Basic Example: Simple Table


html
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>30</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jane</td>
<td>25</td>
</tr>
</table>

This code creates a simple table with headers and two rows of data.

Intermediate Example: Table with Colspan

html
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th colspan="2">Details</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>30</td>
<td>Developer</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jane</td>
<td>25</td>
<td>Designer</td>
</tr>
</table>

This snippet shows how to span a header across two columns using colspan.

Combined Example: List inside a Table

html
<table>
<tr>
<th>Team Member</th>
<th>Skills</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
<td>
<ul>
<li>HTML</li>
<li>CSS</li>
<li>JavaScript</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jane</td>
<td>
<ul>
<li>Graphic Design</li>
<li>UX/UI</li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

The above code demonstrates how to combine both lists and tables by inserting
a list of skills for each team member within a table. This approach is useful for
presenting detailed information in a structured and hierarchical manner.
HTML Forms
Forms are a fundamental aspect of HTML and web development, allowing for
interactive and dynamic user input. A well-designed form is crucial for a
seamless user experience, enabling users to submit data to a server for
processing.

1. Introduction to HTML Forms


HTML forms are used to collect user input. The <form> element wraps around
a variety of input elements such as text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and
buttons, to name a few. Forms are essential for tasks like logging in, registering,
searching, and submitting online orders.

2. The <form> Element


The <form> element is the container for all your input elements. It can have
several attributes to control its behaviour:

action: Specifies where to send the form data when the form is submitted.
method: Defines the HTTP method (GET or POST) used when submitting the
form.

enctype: Specifies how the form data should be encoded when submitting it to
the server (used when method is POST).

Example:
<form action="/submitform" method="POST">
<! Form inputs go here >
</form>
3. Input Elements
Input elements are the building blocks of forms. Here are some of the most
commonly used types:
Text Fields: <input type="text"> for singleline text input.
Password Fields: <input type="password"> for masked text input.
Radio Buttons: <input type="radio"> for selecting one option from a set.
Checkboxes: <input type="checkbox"> for selecting multiple options.
Submit Button: <input type="submit"> or <button type="submit"> to submit
the form.
Dropdown Lists: <select> with nested <option> elements for a dropdown list.

4. Labels
Labels are important for accessibility and usability. They are defined with the
<label> element and are associated with input elements using the for attribute,
which matches the id of the input element.

Example:
<label for="username">Username:</label>
<input type="text" id="username" name="username">

5. Form Validation
HTML5 introduced builtin form validation using attributes like required, min,
max, pattern, and type (with values like email, url, etc.). These allow the
browser to validate inputs before submission.

Example:
<input type="email" name="email" required>
6. Handling Form Data
When a form is submitted, the data is sent to the server. How you handle this
data depends on the serverside technology you're using (e.g., PHP, Node.js,
Python). The data can be processed, stored, or used to generate a response to
the user.

7. Styling Forms
CSS is used to style forms. You can control the layout, colors, fonts, and more to
make the form match your site's design. Frameworks like Bootstrap also offer
predesigned form components for a quick start.

8. Advanced Features
AJAX: For submitting forms without reloading the page, AJAX can be used
along with JavaScript or frameworks like jQuery.
File Uploads: Using <input type="file"> allows users to upload files. Handling
file uploads requires specific serverside processing.
Accessibility: Ensure your forms are accessible by using proper labels, ARIA
roles, and testing with screen readers.

Conclusion
HTML forms are a key part of creating interactive and userfriendly web
applications. Understanding the basics of form elements, validation, and
styling, as well as advanced techniques for dynamic submissions and
accessibility, is essential for any frontend web developer.
HTML images and links are foundational elements that enhance the interactivity and visual appeal of
web pages. Understanding how to effectively use images and links is crucial for any frontend web
developer. Here's a detailed overview:

1. Introduction to HTML Images

Images in HTML are embedded using the <img> tag. This tag is selfclosing and displays a picture on
the webpage. Images can be used for logos, photos, icons, and more.

2. The <img> Element

The <img> element has several important attributes:

src: Specifies the URL of the image.

alt: Provides alternative text for the image if it cannot be displayed.

width and height: Define the size of the image in pixels.

title: Offers additional information about the image when the user hovers over it.

Example:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description of the image" width="500" height="600">

3. Image Formats

Web images come in various formats, each with its own use cases:

JPEG: Best for photographs and images with gradients.

PNG: Supports transparency and is ideal for logos and icons.

GIF: Used for animated images.

SVG: A vector format that's scalable without losing quality, perfect for illustrations and logos.

4. Responsive Images

To make images responsive, so they work well on devices of all sizes, you can use CSS techniques or
the srcset attribute in HTML. The srcset attribute allows you to specify multiple image files for
different screen resolutions.
Example:

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Description" srcset="image320w.jpg 320w, image480w.jpg 480w"


sizes="(maxwidth: 320px) 280px, (maxwidth: 480px) 440px, 800px">

5. Introduction to HTML Links

Links, or hyperlinks, are defined with the <a> tag and allow users to click from one page to another,
either within the same site or to an external site.

6. The <a> Element

The <a> element uses the href attribute to specify the URL of the page the link goes to. Other
attributes include:

target: Specifies where to open the linked document (e.g., _blank for a new tab).

title: Provides additional information on hover.

rel: Defines the relationship between the current and linked documents.

Example:

<a href="https://example.com" target="_blank" title="Visit Example.com">Visit Example!</a>

7. Linking to Different Types of Resources

Links can be used to navigate to different types of resources, such as:

Web pages: Linking to other HTML pages.

Documents: PDFs, Word documents, etc.

Email addresses: Using mailto: in the href attribute.

Telephone numbers: Using tel: in the href attribute.

Example of an email link:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Send Email</a>


8. Styling Links

CSS is used to style links. The most common pseudoclasses associated with links are:

:link a link that has not been visited.

:visited a link that has been visited.

:hover when the mouse is over a link.

:active the moment a link is clicked.

Example:

a:link {

color: blue;

a:visited {

color: purple;

a:hover {

color: red;

a:active {

color: yellow;

9. Image as a Link

You can wrap an <img> element inside an <a> element to make the image act as a clickable link.

Example:

<a href="https://example.com">

<img src="logo.png" alt="Example Logo">

</a>
Conclusion

HTML images and links are essential for creating engaging and navigable web content. By mastering
the use of the <img> and <a> elements, along with their attributes and styling options, you can
significantly enhance the user experience on your web pages. Always consider accessibility and
responsiveness to ensure your content is accessible to all users across various devices.
Bootstrap introduction

Bootstrap is a powerful and popular front-end framework designed to help


developers and designers create responsive and mobile-first websites quickly
and efficiently. Here's a detailed introduction to Bootstrap, covering its core
concepts, components, and how to get started:

What is Bootstrap?

Bootstrap is an open-source toolkit for developing with HTML, CSS, and JS.
Originally developed by Twitter, it contains a range of design templates and
custom tools for creating web applications and sites. It emphasizes responsive
design by default, ensuring that web applications can adjust smoothly to various
screen sizes, from mobile phones to desktops.

rows, and columns to layout and align content. It's built with flexbox and allows
up to 12 columns across the page.
- Predefined Components: It offers a wide range of pre-styled components such
as navigation bars, dropdowns, modals, and cards, which can be easily
customized and incorporated into web designs.
- JavaScript Plugins: Bootstrap includes numerous jQuery and JavaScript
plugins that add dynamic features to web applications, such as carousels,
tooltips, and popovers.
- Customizable: Bootstrap can be customized to fit the specific needs of your
project. You can select which components to include, customize variables, and
use mixins to create a tailored experience.
- Utility Classes: It provides utility classes for common CSS properties, making
it easier to style elements without writing custom CSS.

Getting Started with Bootstrap


1. Installation: You can add Bootstrap to your project in several ways:
- CDN: Include Bootstrap's CSS and JS files via CDN in the head of your
HTML document.
- NPM: Install Bootstrap via npm for more control over the version and
customization.
- Download: Download the Bootstrap source files to include them directly in
your project.

Bootstrap Colors

Bootstrap provides a comprehensive color system that includes a set of


predefined colors. These colors can be used to style backgrounds, text, and
borders, enhancing the visual hierarchy and readability of content.
Predefined Colors

Bootstrap's color palette includes:

- Primary: Indicates the main action or emphasizes important elements.


- Secondary: Used for less prominent elements that don't require primary
emphasis.
- Success: Represents a successful or positive action.
- Danger: Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action.
- Warning: Suggests caution should be taken.
- Info: Provides additional information or context.
- Light: Used for backgrounds of components or as a lighter shade.
- Dark: Ideal for text or background to contrast against a lighter background.

Using Colors

Colors can be applied to text, background, and borders using utility classes:

- Text Color: text-primary, text-success, text-danger, etc.


- Background Color: bg-primary, bg-success, bg-danger, etc.
- Border Color: border-primary, border-success, border-danger, etc.

Example:

<div class="bg-primary text-white p-3">Primary Background</div>


<div class="text-danger">Danger Text</div>
Bootstrap Tables

Bootstrap's table classes enhance the appearance and readability of tables. They
provide a clean, modern look with minimal effort.

Basic Table
To use Bootstrap styling, add the .table class to any <table> element. This class
adds basic styling to the table.

<table class="table">
<!-- Table content -->
</table>

Variations

Bootstrap offers several table classes to modify the appearance:

- Striped Rows: .table-striped adds zebra-striping to any table row within the
<tbody>.
- Bordered Table: .table-bordered adds borders on all sides of the table and cells.
- Hoverable Rows: .table-hover enables a hover state on table rows within a
<tbody>.
- Small Table: .table-sm makes tables more compact by cutting cell padding in
half.
- Responsive Table: Wrap your table with .table-responsive to make it scroll
horizontally on small devices (under 768px).
Example
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-striped table-hover">
<thead>
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>First Name</th>
<th>Last Name</th>
<th>Username</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>
</tr>
<!-- More rows -->
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Conclusion
Bootstrap's color system and table classes are powerful tools for enhancing the
design and user experience of web applications. By utilizing these features,
developers can create visually appealing and accessible interfaces with minimal
effort. Remember, the key to effectively using Bootstrap is understanding and
applying its components and utilities according to your project's needs. Always

footers, a wide variety of content, contextual background colors, and powerful
display options.
Key Features:

- Versatile: Can be used for displaying a wide variety of content, including


images, text, list groups, and more.
- Customizable: Supports headers, footers, and various utility classes for
padding, alignment, and coloring.
- Responsive: Works well within grid system layouts for arranging multiple
cards.

Basic Structure:

html
<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
<img src="..." class="card-img-top" alt="...">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Card Title</h5>
<p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and
make up the bulk of the card's content.</p>
<a href="" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a>
</div>
</div>

Customization Tips:

- Content Types: Use .card-img-top for images, .card-body for text content,
.card-title and .card-text for titles and text, and .card-footer for footer content.

they don't negatively impact your site's performance.

By leveraging Bootstrap's forms and badges, you can enhance the user
experience by making your web applications more interactive, informative, and
user-friendly.
Bootstrap Grid Layout

The Bootstrap grid system is a powerful mobile first flexbox system for
building layouts of all shapes and sizes. It's built with a series of containers,
rows, and columns to layout and align content. Here's a detailed overview of the
Bootstrap grid layout:

Core Concepts

Containers: Serve as the foundation of the grid system. You can choose
between a fixedwidth container (.container) and a fullwidth container
(.containerfluid), depending on your layout needs.
Rows: Act as wrappers for columns. Each row is horizontal and serves as a flex
container, allowing columns within to automatically layout as flex items.
Columns: Your content should be placed within columns, and only columns
may be immediate children of rows. The grid system includes up to 12 columns
per row, and you can use one or more columns to build your layout. Columns
are designated using the .col{breakpoint}{size} syntax.

Breakpoints

Bootstrap's grid system is based on six responsive breakpoints (by default),


which cater to various device sizes:

Extra small (xs): <576px. This is the default size, so the breakpoint isn't
included in the class name.
Small (sm): ≥576px.
Medium (md): ≥768px.
Large (lg): ≥992px.
Extra large (xl): ≥1200px.
Extra extra large (xxl): ≥1400px.
These breakpoints are used to define the behavior of the grid layout on different
screen sizes.

Basic Grid Layout

Here's how to create a basic grid layout with Bootstrap:

html
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="colsm4">Column 1</div>
<div class="colsm4">Column 2</div>
<div class="colsm4">Column 3</div>
</div>
</div>

This layout consists of a single row with three columns, each occupying 4 of the
12 available column widths on small (and larger) devices.

Responsive Columns

You can use Bootstrap's grid system to create responsive layouts that adapt to
the viewport or device size:

html
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col12 colmd8">.col12 .colmd8</div>
<div class="col6 colmd4">.col6 .colmd4</div>
</div>
</div>

In this example, the first column will span 12 columns on extra small devices
but will shrink to 8 columns on medium devices and larger. The second column
will span 6 columns on extra small devices and 4 columns on medium devices
and larger.

AutoLayout Columns

Bootstrap also allows for autolayout columns, which automatically size


themselves based on the content:

html
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1 of 3</div>
<div class="col">2 of 3 (wider)</div>
<div class="col">3 of 3</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col">1 of 3</div>
<div class="col5">2 of 3 (wider)</div>
<div class="col">3 of 3</div>
</div>

Alignment and Ordering


Bootstrap's grid system includes utilities for aligning content vertically and
horizontally, as well as changing the order of grid columns:

Alignment: Use .alignitems{value}, .justifycontent{value}, and


.alignself{value} classes for alignment.
Ordering: Use .order{value} classes to control the order of columns.

Best Practices

Start Mobile First: Design your layout for small screens first, then scale up to
larger screens using media queries.
Nested Rows: To nest your content with the default grid, add a new .row and
set of .col{sm|md|lg|xl} columns within an existing .col{sm|md|lg|xl} column.
Consistency: Try to use the grid system consistently across your project for a
unified look and feel.

The Bootstrap grid system is a robust tool for creating responsive layouts. By
understanding and utilizing its features, you can efficiently design layouts that
work across different devices and screen sizes.
Bootstrap Buttons and Pagination
Bootstrap provides extensive support for buttons and pagination, making it easy
to implement interactive and navigational elements in your web designs. Here's
a detailed overview of both components:

Bootstrap Buttons

Bootstrap buttons are powerful components used for actions, links, and more.
They come with a variety of sizes, colors, and states to provide visual cues to
users.

Key Features:

- Variety of Colors: Bootstrap includes several predefined button styles, each


serving its own semantic purpose, with a few size options.
- States: Buttons include active, hover, focus, and disabled states to indicate the
interaction status.
- Sizes: Available in default, large (btn-lg), small (btn-sm), and block level (btn-
block) sizes.

Basic Usage:

html
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Primary Button</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-secondary">Secondary Button</button>
<!-- Additional buttons -->

Customization Tips:
- Outline Buttons: Use .btn-outline- classes for a different style that inverses the
color scheme.
- Disabled State: Add the disabled attribute to make buttons unclickable.
- Button Groups: Group a series of buttons together on a single line with the
.btn-group class.

Bootstrap Pagination

Pagination is a simple navigation method that lets you divide a large amount of
content across multiple pages. Bootstrap's pagination is responsive and can be
customized for different sizes and configurations.

Key Features:

- Responsive: Pagination components are built with flexbox and are fully
responsive.
- Customizable: Offers various sizes and alignments, as well as the ability to
disable or hide certain pages.
- Accessibility: Includes built-in WAI-ARIA accessibility tags.

Basic Usage:

html
<nav aria-label="Page navigation example">
<ul class="pagination">
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="">Previous</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="">1</a></li>
<li class="page-item active"><a class="page-link" href="">2</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="">3</a></li>
<li class="page-item"><a class="page-link" href="">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</nav>

Customization Tips:

- Alignment: Use flex utility classes such as .justify-content-center or .justify-


content-end to align pagination.
- Sizes: Use .pagination-lg or .pagination-sm for larger or smaller pagination.
- Disabled and Active States: Use .disabled for unclickable links and .active to
indicate the current page.

Best Practices

- Use Buttons for Actions: Buttons should be used for actions (e.g., submitting a
form) rather than navigation. Use links for navigation.
- Accessibility: Ensure that your buttons and pagination are accessible. For
buttons, use the <button> element when the action is on the same page and <a>
for navigation. For pagination, ensure that the aria-label attribute is used to
provide context.
- Visual Feedback: Utilize the stateful classes to provide visual feedback to
users. For example, disable buttons when an action is not available or highlight
the current page in pagination.

By leveraging Bootstrap's buttons and pagination, you can enhance the user
interface of your web applications, making them more interactive and user-
friendly. Remember to customize these components to fit the overall design and
functionality of your site.
