Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) - correct answer-the principal programming
language resolved and rendered by browsers to display Web pages
Structure webpage contents on the WWW
Hypertext - correct answer-the text on a the browser that leads the user to
related information while markup language refers to the computer programming
language that, by using a set of annotations, gives browsers the instructions to
display text, images, and other web elements on a web page.
Elements - correct answer-are enclosed by angle brackets like "<" The brackets
help browsers understand where information like hyperlinks, paragraphs, lists,
colors should be located on a web page to control the general appearance of the
overall page. Basically, the bracketed elements of HTML are the method used to
portray the arrangement of text-based information in a web page document.
Head Elements - correct answer-define a web document's title, style, and
additional information about the document's author, page description, and
keywords to help search engines find the web page.
,<title></title> - correct answer-tags define the web page's title like <title
>McCarthy Custom Homes</title> that places the words "McCarthy Custom
Homes" in a browser window's title bar.
<style></style> - correct answer-tags define an overall style for a webpage by
describing fonts, colors, and other design elements. For instance, the following
HTML tells the browser that the background color for a web page should be black
(000000), the font for the web page should use "Geneva", and the font size
should be 14 point.
<style >
background-color: 000000;
font-family: Geneva;
font-size: 14px;
</style>
<meta></meta> - correct answer-are additional pieces of information about the
web page's author, web page description, and keywords, to help search engines
find the web page like the following:
The "meta" description above provides a representation of the web site when it is
found by a search engine like Google so a user can read what the website is about
before clicking on its URL. The "meta" keywords provide search engines with
words to match those that a user might type into the search engine when looking
for a type of website, in this case, a custom homebuilder.
Link elements - correct answer-create elements that can become hyperlinks that
allow web page users to navigate to different parts of a web site, or different
parts of the World Wide Web. The following is an example of a link element: <a
href="http://www.mchut.com">McCarthy Custom Homes</a>
, Image Elements - correct answer-special tags to help the browser window display
pictures, photographs, and images typically using the GIF or JPEG file formats like
the following: <img src="meadow.gif" alt="meadow"></img>. The previous tag
shows an image called "meadow.gif" on a browser and, if the user places the
cursor on the image, it will display the word "meadow".
Structural (Block) Elements - correct answer-designed to tell a browser how to
display and align elements like lists, headings and paragraphs. Like word
processing programs, structural HTML elements can align, center, and manipulate
text and images into place so the browser can render a more readable webpage.
For instance, one of the main tag elements creates a table with the <table
></table> tags with the <tr ></tr> tags creating rows and the <td ></td> tags
creating cells within a row.
Presentational Elements - correct answer-are like <style ></style> head elements
but are used in the body of a webpage and allow the HTML to create
presentational effects like italics or bold for emphasis. For instance, <b >McCarthy
Custom Homes</b> would render the text between the "bold" tags like the
following: McCarthy Custom Homes on a browser.
JavaScript - correct answer-programming language that is considered a client-side
language in reference to websites. Web developers can insert a JavaScript
program in an HTML document that might show the user how many days until the
New Year on the browser. The client's browser must be "java enabled" for the
program to run and, since browsers exist on the client side of the client/server
model of the Internet, JavaScript programs only work on the "client side."
Adobe Flash - correct answer-can integrate video on a browser, add animations,
promote interactivity, and develop rich Internet applications.
