Recap: HTML – Comments
• Comments help HUMANS read code
• Do not render in browser
<!– Haha you guys can’t see me (HTML)
// Comments exist in pretty much every language (Javascript)
# Dear future me, I’m so sorry this code looks like my ass (Ruby)

Recap: HTML – Attributes
• Attributes go into the opening tags
• Can do multiple attributes at a time
<img src=‘jumanji.png’/>
<h1 style=‘font-family:Garamond’/>Ew Times New Roman sucks</h1>
<p style=‘text-align:center; color:red’/>Can’t wait for Game of Thrones!</p>
<div id=‘tv-shows’/><div>
Speaking in Code
Recap: HTML – Styles
• All styles do exactly what they say
color: red
font-family: Garamond
font-size: 10px
text-align: center
background-color: pink
Speaking in Code
HTML: Tables
• Same concept as lists
• Instead of list item, there are cells<table border=‘1px’> <!- - Initialize the table, just like <ol> or <ul> - -
<tr> <!- - table row - - <td>King Kong</td> <!- - table data, similar to <li> tags- - <td>1933</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>Dracula</td><td>1897</td>
</tr></table>
Speaking in Code
<thead> vs <tbody>
• Same concept as HTML <head> vs <body>
<thead> <!- - initiates the table header - -
<tbody> <!- - data and information inside - -
<thead><tr>
<th>Famous Monsters</th><tr>
</thead><tbody>
<tr><td>Dracula</td>
<tr></tbody>
Speaking in Code
HTML: <div> and <span>
• Allows you to organize your content
• Crucial for CSS
<div> <!- - short for divider, separate this content from others - -
<span> <!- - used mainly to group inline elements in text- -
Speaking in Code
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
• Separate content (HTML) from style (CSS)
• Save under a different name
– ie) stylesheet.css
• Link two documents through style tag
• Goes into the <head> of the HTML document<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css"/>
Speaking in Code
Why use CSS?
• Global styling to more than one HTML file
• Can be as specific as you want also
• Syntax: (change all paragraphs)
p {color: red;text-align: right;
}
Speaking in Code
Tip: Using CSS Effectively
• Use attributes
<div id=‘tv-shows’/><div>
<span class=‘make-all-blue’/><span>
div#tv-shows {color: purple;text-align: center;
}
span.make-all-blue {color: blue;
}
Speaking in Code
A Different Approach <style>
• Not best practice, but don’t need to link stylesheet
<html><head>
<style>p {
color: purple;}
</style><title>Result</title>
</head><body>
<p>Check it out! I'm purple!</p></body>
</html>
