Dictionary of HTML META Tags
META tags have two possible attributes: <META HTTP-EQUIV="name" CONTENT="content"> <META NAME="name" CONTENT="content"> META tags should be placed in the head of the HTML document, between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags (especially important in documents using FRAMES). HTTP-EQUIV tags META tags with an HTTP-EQUIV attribute are equivalent to HTTP headers. Typically, they control the action of browsers, and may be used to refine the information provided by the actual headers. Note: While HTTP-EQUIV META tag appears to work properly with Netscape Navigator, other browsers may ignore them, and they are ignored by Web proxies, which are becoming more widespread. HTTP headers are defined in RFC1945 (HTTP/1.0) and RFC2068 (HTTP/1.1). HTTP headers may be generated by CGI scripts, and in Apache and CERN httpd by using a side file containing metadata. Content-Disposition Source: RFC2183 - Specify application handler (Microsoft), e.g. Expires Source: HTTP/1.1 (RFC2068) or (HTTP header): Pragma Content-Type
Learn HTML and CSS: An Absolute Beginner's Guide
This article was written in 2009 and remains one of our most popular posts. If you’re keen to learn more about HTML and CSS, you may find this recent article on the future of HTML of great interest. So, you’re ready to take the plunge and begin to learn how to build your own web pages and sites? Fantastic! We’ve got quite a ride ahead, so I hope you’re feeling adventurous. This information is an excerpt from my recently released book, Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS, 2nd edition. In the following pages, I’ll show you how to set up your computer — be it PC or Mac — so that you’re ready to build a site. Then, we’ll meet XHTML and walk through the details of how to structure a web page correctly. Finally, we’ll turn to the topic of Cascading Style Sheets, which we’ll use to change the way elements of your web page look. Don’t worry if some of these terms are unfamiliar — this excerpt, like the book itself, assumes that you have no knowledge about building web pages.
HTML Tutorial: Framesets
Framesets allow you to have more than one page displayed as if they were one page, above each other or beside each other. It is also possible to nest framesets so that some pages are displayed above others, and some are displayed beside others. In addition, pages contained within a frameset can also contain framesets of their own. Generally, framesets are not a good solution. Framesets have several problems. Generally, I advise you not to use framesets. Pages that contain framesets should use the frameset document type declaration as shown on the document structure. The frameset element Framesets are defined using the tag (which also requires a closing tag). The and attributes expect a comma separated list of frame sizes. For example, a value of "200,30%,*,2*" would create four columns. The element replaces the element from a normal document. The frame element Frames are defined using the tag, which does not have a closing tag. The last of the important attributes is the attribute. <!

How useful is the :lang?
I got an email this morning asking for some use cases for the CSS :lang selector. Here are some ideas. This should help content authors understand how using :lang can sometimes be better than other approaches when selecting content for styling. Of course, not all user agents support :lang, and hopefully these use cases will also show how enabling support could be useful. Use case 1 One of the main cases where I want to use :lang is when I have a page that includes numerous short pieces of text in a different script. It does my head in trying to ensure that I labelled all the myanmar text with class attributes so that I get the right font and colour applied. Adding class="my" everywhere also bulks up the document. It would make life a lot easier to just include a single CSS rule: Use case 2 Suppose you have the following Japanese text in an English document: <blockquote lang=”ja” xml:lang=”ja”>ワールド・ワイド・ウェッブを<em>世界中</em>に広げましょう</blockquote> em.ja { ... } How annoying is that! Use case 3

Mozilla Developer Network: HTML
HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the most basic building block of the Web. It defines the meaning and structure of web content. Other technologies besides HTML are generally used to describe a web page's appearance/presentation (CSS) or functionality/behavior (JavaScript). "Hypertext" refers to links that connect web pages to one another, either within a single website or between websites. HTML uses "markup" to annotate text, images, and other content for display in a Web browser. An HTML element is set off from other text in a document by "tags", which consist of the element name surrounded by "<" and ">". The articles below can help you learn more about HTML.
