Welcome to Learning HTML - Part II. In this section you will learn about, and experiment with, Character Entities, Style Tags, Header Elements such as Base Href and Meta Tags, Forms Theory and Installation, and Tables. It is presumed that you have already learned the basics of the HTML language, including terms and concepts, document tags, basic text structure, lists, basic special effects tags, anchors and images. If you do not understand these concepts, please complete the CWRU Introduction to HTML before attempting this section.
Case Western has the best "hands-on" web based instructional tool for intermediate HTML skills that I have found so far. The vast majority of this section will be spent there.
You already know that multiple returns, blank lines-- all of these disappear in an HTML document, due to the structural
nature of HTML.
Well, almost. There is an exception to this rule. Using a particular style tag, whitespace does matter. What is that tag?
In order to use the Form you have created, you either need to write your own CGI script to "bounce" (read the submitted form, generate the results, send it to your email account - how to do so is in next semesters class on Web Programming) OR you can use any number of Free Form sites that create the proper script to copy/paste to your document, and allow you to use their script to bounce your site forms to your email address.
