CHRISTMAS TREES WITH HTML, CSS & JS
NIAMH FOLEY
WHAT WE ARE GOING TO CREATE
HTML5 Tree with decoration HTML + CSS Tree
HYPER TEXT MARK UP LANGUAGE
Pros• Provides a basic structure for data to be
displayed
• Very easy to pick up and learn
• Mistakes are easily found and fixed
• There are many development environments
Cons• HTML is not dynamic – meaning it has no logic
to it
• No one structure to it
CASCADING STYLE SHEETS
Pros• Easy to learn
• Used by 99.999% of websites
• Tidy's up HTML makes it “Cleaner”
• Provides the skin to HMTL
Cons• None Its that Good
JAVASCRIPT
Pros• As close as you can get to coding with out all the
“Messy Stuff” of code
• Safe !! You cannot damage your system as its self contained
• Extremely powerful tool for creating web apps
• Very easy to pick up and learn
Cons• Only works in a browser
• No Development environment
• Debugging is a pain
• Each browser reacts to code differently
• Imagination is your only limit with JS
HOUSE KEEPING1. Create a Directory called “Christmas Tree”
2. Create a subdirectory called “css”
3. Create a file called “styles.css” and save into css
4. Create a file called “index.htm” and save into the root directory (Christmas Tree)

Use this boiler plate code to begin

FEAR NOT !!!
HTML5 + JAVASCRIPT TREE
FUNCTIONALITY
<body onload="draw();">
<script type="text/javascript">
// JS goes in here
</script>Setup
FUNCTIONALITY
function draw() {
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
if (canvas.getContext){
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// more code goes here !!
}
}
Step 1 - Beginning Code
FUNCTIONALITY
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.moveTo(150, 10); // starting point
ctx.lineTo(x, y);
ctx.lineTo(x, y);
ctx.fillStyle = “USE HEX CODE” ;
ctx.fill();
Step 2 – The Triangle
FUNCTIONALITY ctx.fillStyle = “USE HEX CODE”;
ctx.fillRect (x,y,w,h); // (x,y,width,height)Step 3 – The base
FUNCTIONALITY
ctx.beginPath();
ctx.arc(140, 75, 10, 0, Math.PI*2, true);
// Uses trig to create circle
ctx.closePath();
ctx.fillStyle = " USE HEX CODE ";
ctx.fill();
Step 4 - Decorations
