HTML
Hypertext Markup Language, or HTML for short, is a programming language most commonly used to develop websites and offline applications, such as manuals. Though the initial intent of the language was to exchange information from a small network of computers, it is now most often used to share information and allow engagement in online activities throughout a network with an increasing number of host computers. Questions about the development of applications and pages through HTML belong in this category.

Why are there different versions of HTML?
it think the versions are
HTML 1.0
HTML 2.0
HTML 3.0
HTML 3.2
HTML 4.01
xhtml 1.0
and now HTML 5
The different versions are used to characterize changes in the HTML itself. With new features and new tags come new versions. In the modern web, (HTML 4+) the versions are also the basis for laying out standards that describe the function of the HTML and how the browsers are supposed to display it.
For instance, prior to HTML 2.0, there were no images available in HTML.
If you're interested, the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) is in charge of keeping the current HTML and XHTML standards. You can find the specific changes in versions on their website.
How do you align center the text in a column?
Use the CSS "text-align" property.
Assuming that your column is built using a block level element with a set width (either fixed or fluid) your HTML will look something like this:
text in the column
Your CSS will look something like this:
div { width: 200px; text-align: center; }
What does the four letter acronym HTML stand for?
HTML is a subset of SGML (Standard General Markup Language) with more forgiving rules that are not followed for XHTML and XML (also subsets.)
A tag is said to be a paired tag if the text is placed between a tag and its companion tag. In paired tags, the first tag is referred to as Opening Tag and the second tag is referred to as Closing Tag.
ExampleThis text is in italics. Note: Here is called opening tag. and is called closing tag.A div tag in HTML represents a division, usually with its own style, class, or alignment.
For example, the HTML <div align=center>Text</center> would align the text in the center of the page
It created an ordered list.
<OL>
<LI>Pie
<LI>Carrot
<LI>Banana
</OL>
Will make something like this.
1. Pie
2. Carrot
3. Banana
The numbers are made automatically by whichever browser you're using.
How do you make a character move in HTML?
You cant in HTML. Try Javascript (however it is better if you use a picture editor like Macromedia Fireworks and save the image as .jpg),
You can. You would have to program it though. I have some of the "text moving features" added to my personal HTML. You could do the same.
The answer is: it depends.
It depends on the specific units used. In most Word Processing fonts are measured in units called "points." A point is a very old measurement that involves a very old typsetting tool. It has varied over time. But in the 1990s, a technology called PostScript set the new standard: there are 72 points in an inch. That means that a single point is 1/72nd of an inch, or ~0.353 millimeters.
In the world of computing, this still varies some, as inches in print don't really translate well onto screen real estate.
To set a font to 72 points using CSS you use the following rule
.selector { font-size:72pt;}
The other very common unit is pixels. A pixel is a tiny square that lights up on your computer screen. When you put these tiny dots together, they form a picture (your eye does the blending.) 72 pixels is about 4 times the size of the font your question is in at the top of the page. (That's 20px.) The symbol for pixels is px, so the above rule would be
.selector {font-size:72px;}
Pixels are a digital measurement. Points are a print measurement. There's very little continuity between the two.
Other measurements are relative. For instance "em" is the size of one "m" (horizontally) in the font you're currently using. If you're using a bigger font, then 1em is bigger. "ex" is the size of one "x." You can also use percentages "%" 50% is half the size of the current size. 150% is one and a half times the size.
The other one is the pica, which is a print unit, that is 12 points.
So, like I said at the beginning: it depends. :)
What CSS property specifies the background color of a table?
Use the CSS declaration "background-color"
For instance...
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: red; }
</style>
That code will change the background color to red. Background color will take the same values for a color as all other CSS color. A named color keyword, a hex RGB value, a decimal RGB value, and a decimal RGBA value.
On your computer, highlight the website in the little bar it's in. Press and hold Ctrl and press C and let go of each. Now it's copied. To paste go to the place you want to put the link and put your cursur there and then press and hold Ctrl and then press V and let go. Now you can click on it!
How do you link one HTML page to another using button?
<body>
<a href="insert the link here">insert the text to appear on page here</a>
<body>
for example
<a href="www.google.com">click here to go to google</a>
</body>
What are the various ways to embedded PHP in HTML coding?
there are in fact two basic methods - one is called minimal PHP, and the second tends to be referred to as the CGI-way.
minimal php means that you're making php secions in HTML only where really necessary (using the php section begin (<?php ) and end (?> ) tags.).
the CGI-way, or maximum PHP means, that you're in fact embedding HTML into strings in php, and the whole page is echo()ed.
the second way tends to be viewed as an abuse of php by some people, as php was meant to be "templating" language, and designed to be used mainly the first way.
Inheritance is an object oriented feature supported by Java wherein the features of one Java class can be inherited/made available in another class. This creates a parent child relationship between these 2 classes. Class Inheritance in java mechanism is used to build new classes from existing classes. The inheritance relationship is transitive: if class x extends class y, then a class z, which extends class x, will also inherit from class y. Object-oriented programming allows classes to inherit commonly used state and behavior from other classes.
Example:
public class Parent {
private String name = "Rocky";
public String getName(){
return this.name;
}
}
public class Child extends Parent {
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Name in Parent is: " + getName());
}
}
Here the getName() method is available only in the parent class but is directly used in the child class because the method is public and is directly accessible to the child class since it has extended the parent class.
Benefits of Inheritance:
One of the key benefits of inheritance is to minimise the amount of duplicate code in an application by sharing common code amongst several subclasses. Where equivalent code exists in two related classes, the hierarchy can usually be refactored to move the common code up to a mutual superclass. This also tends to result in a better organisation of code and smaller, simpler compilation units.
Inheritance can also make application code more flexible to change because classes that inherit from a common superclass can be used interchangeably. If the return type of a method is superclass
Why should image files on webpages be compressed?
So that the image downloads quicker in your browser. File size is important in web design and every element of your page has a file size which adds to total download time.
What potential problems could we did not have the W3C?
No communication means no business, exchanging infromation or data equal zero.
What is the difference in size between a webpage and a HTML document?
Very simply, a website is a collection of one or more web pages designed to convey information on a particular subject or theme to a web user. (e.g. a company will have a web site providing structured information about the company, designed to inform particular groups of its stakeholders - investors, customers, technical support, sales, employment, news items etc.)
A web page is one screen full of information (from a web site) that may contain links to other pages in the web site or links to external information. The web page will normally be written as (or rendered as) an HTML document.
What program do you use to open HTML documents?
You can open them with different things. A browser will display the web page. Any text editor should be able to open the actual file so you can see the code. Anything that can open a text file, like a word processor, will open a html file. Specialise html editors and programs like Dreamweaver can also open html documents.
What is the standard magazine font size?
There is no default font size, that is up to the browser.
The author of an HTML page can use CSS or HTML to specify a font size, but the browser can still override the author's wishes, for example if the user has set the browser to display extra large text.
navigation in HTML means the user movement around a website using links,
by inserting links into your HTML code as below, you give the user the ability to move from one page to another,
<a href="page1.HTML">go to page 1</a>
this will show as a link like: go to page 1
when you click on it you will go to: page1.HTML
You can also add links using images like so,
<a href="page1.HTML"><img src="imagename.jpg" /></a>
this will show imagename.jpg and when clicked on you will go to: page1.HTML
How do you create a scrolling text box using HTML while including variables such as appearance.?
Use a textarea instead of a textbox
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title></title>
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">
<meta name="author" content="fer">
<style>
.txtareaclss {background-color:black; color:green;font-size:20px; font-family:Tahoma;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform" method="" action="">
<textarea class="txtareaclss" name="mytxtarea" cols="50" rows="10">
</textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>
How are opening and closing tags different?
An opening tag is used to indicate the starting point of an action by a tag. The closing tag shows when to stop this action. The front slash is added to a tag, before the tagname, to indicate that it is a closing tag. What is between the tags is effectively selected for this action. To start bolding for example, we use <b> and to stop we use </b> as follows:
This text is <b> bold </b> text.
The word bold in the above sentence would be bolded, as that is what is enclosed by the opening and closing tags. The text outside of that is as normal.
What HTML character symbolizes that the tag is a closing tag?
You are probably referring to the front slash. It, along with the less than sign and the greater than sign and the name of the tag, form an end tag, like this:
</html>
The opening tag does not have the front slash, so it is the character that makes the difference.
