Fragment Styles

There's different types of fragments, like:

fade-right, up, down, left

fade-in-then-out

fade-in-then-semi-out

Highlight red blue green

Transition Styles

You can select from different transitions, like: None - Fade - Slide - Convex - Concave - Zoom

Slide Backgrounds

Set data-background="#dddddd" on a slide to change the background color. All CSS color formats are supported.

Image Backgrounds

Tiled backgrounds, video backgrounds, ... and gifs, background transitions.

Different background transitions are available via the backgroundTransition option. This one's called "zoom".

You can override background transitions per-slide.

Iframe Backgrounds

Since reveal.js runs on the web, you can easily embed other web content. Try interacting with the page in the background.

Marvelous List

• No order here

Fantastic Ordered List

• One is smaller than...
• Two is smaller than...

Tabular Tables

Clever quotes.

These guys come in two forms, inline: The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from and block:

“For years there has been a theory that millions of monkeys typing at random on millions of typewriters would reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare. The Internet has proven this theory to be untrue.”

Intergalactic Interconnections

You can link between slides internally, like this .

Speaker View

There's a speaker view . It includes a timer, preview of the upcoming slide as well as your speaker notes.

Press the S key to try it out.

Export to PDF

Presentations can be exported to PDF , here's an example:

Global State

Set data-state="something" on a slide and "something" will be added as a class to the document element when the slide is open. This lets you apply broader style changes, like switching the page background.

State Events

Additionally custom events can be triggered on a per slide basis by binding to the data-state name.

Take a Moment

Press B or . on your keyboard to pause the presentation. This is helpful when you're on stage and want to take distracting slides off the screen.

• Right-to-left support
• Extensive JavaScript API
• Auto-progression

• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Creating Beautiful HTML & CSS Presentations with WebSlides

This article was peer reviewed by Ralph Mason , Giulio Mainardi , and Mikhail Romanov . Thanks to all of SitePoint’s peer reviewers for making SitePoint content the best it can be!

Presentations are one of the best ways to serve information to an audience. The format is short and sharp, made up of small, digestible chunks, which makes any topic under discussion engaging and easier to understand. A presentation can contain all kinds of data, represented by many different elements, such as tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations, images, videos, sounds, maps, lists, etc, all of which lends great flexibility to this medium of expression.

Particularly on the web, presentations come in handy on many occasions, and there are loads of tools at your disposal to create some nifty ones. Today, I’ll introduce you to WebSlides — a small and compact library with a nice set of ready-to-use components, which you can leverage to build well-crafted and attractive web presentations:

WebSlides “is about telling the story, and sharing it in a beautiful way.”

In fact, one of WebSlides’ main benefits is that you can share your story beautifully and in a variety of different ways. With one and the same architecture — 40+ components with semantic classes, and clean and scalable code — you can create portfolios, landings, longforms, interviews, etc.

Besides, you can also extend WebSlides’ functionality by combining it with third-party services and tools such as Unsplash , Animate.css , Animate On Scroll , and so on.

WebSlides is easy to learn and fun to use. Let’s see it in action now.

To get started, first download WebSlides . Then, in the root folder, create a new folder and call it presentation . Inside the newly created presentation folder, create a new file and call it index.html . Now, enter the following code, which contains the needed references to the WebSlides’ files (make sure the filepaths correspond to the folder structure in your setup):

In this section you’re going to create a short, but complete presentation, which explains why SVG is the future of web graphics. Note: If you are interested in SVG, please check my articles: SVG 101: What is SVG? and How to Optimize and Export SVGs in Adobe Illustrator .

You’ll be working step by step on each slide. Let’s get started with the first one.

The first slide is pretty simple. It contains only one sentence:

Each parent <section> inside <article id="webslides"> creates an individual slide. Here, you’ve used two classes from WebSlides’ arsenal, i.e., bg-gradient-r and aligncenter , to apply a radial gradient background and to align the slide content to the center respectively.

The second slide explains what SVG is:

The code above uses the content-left and content-right classes to separate the content into two columns. Also, in order to make the above classes work, you need to wrap all content by using the wrap class. On the left side, the code uses text-subtitle to make the text all caps, and text-intro to increase the font size. The right side consists of an illustrative image.

The next slide uses the grid component to create two columns:

The snippet above shows how to use the grid and column classes to create a grid with two columns. In the first column the style attribute aligns the text to the left (Note how the aligncenter class on the <section> element cascades through to its .column child element, which causes all text inside the slide to be center aligned). In the second column, the browser class makes the illustrative image look like a screenshot.

In the fourth slide, use the grid component again to split the content into two columns:

In this slide, place half of the content to the left and the other half to the right using the content-left and content-right classes respectively:

In this slide, use the background class to embed an image as a background with the Unsplash service . Put the headline on light, transparent background by using the bg-trans-light class. The text’s color appears white, because the slide uses a black background with the bg-black class, therefore the default color is inversed, i.e., white on black rather than black on white. Also, for the text to be visible in front of the image, wrap it with <div class="wrap"> :

In this slide, put the explanation text on the left and the illustrative image on the right at 40% of its default size (with the alignright and size-40 classes on the <img> element). For this and the next three slides, use slideInRight , which is one of WebSlides’ built-in CSS animations:

Do a similar thing here:

This slide also uses a similar structure:

Here, divide the content into left and right again. In the second <p> tag, use the inline style attribute to adjust the font-size and line-height properties. Doing so will override the text-intro class styles that get applied to the element by default. On the right side, use <div class="wrap size-80"> to create a container for the SVG code example:

Here, leverage some of the classes you’ve already used to illustrate browser support for SVG:

In this slide, show some of the use cases for SVG in the form of an image gallery. To this end, use an unordered list with the flexblock and gallery classes. Each item in the gallery is marked up with a li tag:

This section shows a typical SVG workflow, so you need to use the flexblock and steps classes, which show the content as a sequence of steps. Again, each step is placed inside a li tag:

For each step after the first one, you need to add the process-step-# class. This adds a triangle pointing to the next step.

In the last slide, use another one of WebSlides’ built-in CSS animations, i.e., zoomIn :

Congratulations! You’re done. You can see the final outcome here:

See the Pen HTML and CSS Presentation Demo with WebSlides by SitePoint ( @SitePoint ) on CodePen .

Et voilà! You have just created a beautiful, fully functional and responsive web presentation. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, there’s a lot more you can quickly create with WebSlides and many other WebSlides features which I didn’t cover in this short tutorial.

To learn more, explore the WebSlides Components and CSS architecture documentation , or start customizing the demos already available to you in the downloadable folder.

Then, focus on your content and let WebSlides do its job.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Creating Beautiful HTML & CSS Presentations with WebSlides

How can i customize the design of my webslides presentation.

WebSlides allows you to customize your presentation to suit your style and needs. You can change the color scheme, fonts, and layout by modifying the CSS file. If you’re familiar with CSS, you can easily tweak the styles to create a unique look. If you’re not, there are plenty of online resources and tutorials that can help you learn. Remember, the key to a great presentation is not only the content but also the design. A well-designed presentation can help keep your audience engaged and make your content more memorable.

Can I add multimedia elements to my WebSlides presentation?

How can i share my webslides presentation with others.

Once you’ve created your WebSlides presentation, you can share it with others by hosting it on a web server. You can use a free hosting service like GitHub Pages, or you can use your own web server if you have one. Once your presentation is hosted, you can share the URL with anyone you want to view your presentation. They’ll be able to view your presentation in their web browser without needing to install any special software.

Can I use WebSlides for commercial projects?

Yes, WebSlides is free to use for both personal and commercial projects. You can use it to create presentations for your business, for your clients, or for any other commercial purpose. However, please note that while WebSlides itself is free, some of the images and fonts used in the templates may be subject to copyright and may require a license for commercial use.

How can I add interactive elements to my WebSlides presentation?

You can add interactive elements to your WebSlides presentation by using JavaScript. For example, you can add buttons that the user can click to navigate to different slides, or you can add forms that the user can fill out. This can be done by adding the appropriate HTML and JavaScript code to your slides. If you’re not familiar with JavaScript, there are plenty of online resources and tutorials that can help you learn.

Can I use WebSlides offline?

Yes, you can use WebSlides offline. Once you’ve downloaded the WebSlides files, you can create and view your presentations offline.

To ensure that all features work correctly, it’s recommended to host your presentation on a web server.

How can I add transitions and animations to my WebSlides presentation?

You can add transitions and animations to your WebSlides presentation by using CSS. CSS allows you to control the appearance and behavior of elements on your slides, including transitions and animations. For example, you can use the transition property to animate the change of a property from one value to another, or you can use the animation property to create more complex animations.

Can I use WebSlides on mobile devices?

Yes, WebSlides is designed to be responsive and works well on both desktop and mobile devices. However, please note that due to the smaller screen size, some elements may not display as intended on mobile devices. It’s recommended to test your presentation on different devices to ensure that it looks and works well on all platforms.

How can I add navigation controls to my WebSlides presentation?

You can add navigation controls to your WebSlides presentation by using the built-in navigation options. You can add arrows to navigate between slides, or you can add a slide counter to show the current slide number and the total number of slides. This can be done by adding the appropriate HTML and CSS code to your slides.

Can I use WebSlides with other web development tools?

Yes, you can use WebSlides with other web development tools. For example, you can use it with a text editor to write your HTML and CSS code, or you can use it with a version control system like Git to manage your project files. You can also use it with a build tool like Gulp or Grunt to automate tasks like minifying your code or compiling your CSS.

How To Build A Captivating Presentation Using HTML, CSS, & JavaScript

Building beautiful presentations is hard. Often you're stuck with Keynote or PowerPoint, and the templates are extremely limited and generic. Well not anymore.

Today, we're going to learn how to create a stunning and animated presentation using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

If you're a beginner to web development, don't fret! This tutorial will be easy enough to keep up with. So let's slide right into it!

We're going to be using an awesome framework called Reveal.js . It provides robust functionality for creating interesting and customizable presentations.

• Head over to the Reveal.js repository and clone the project (you can also fork this to your GitHub namespace).

• Change directories into your newly cloned folder and run npm install to download the package dependencies. Then run npm start to run the project.

The index.html file holds all of the markup for the slides. This is one of the downsides of using Reveal.js; all of the content will be placed inside this HTML file.

Built-In Themes

Reveal includes 11 built-in themes for you to choose from:

Changing The Theme

• Open index.html
• Change the CSS import to reflect the theme you want to use

The theme files are:

• solarized.css

Custom Themes

It's quite easy to create a custom theme. Today, I'll be using my custom theme from a presentation I gave called "How To Build Kick-Ass Website: An Introduction To Front-end Development."

Here is what my custom slides look like:

Creating A Custom Theme

• Open css/theme/src inside your IDE. This holds all of the Sass files ( .scss ) for each theme. These files will be transpiled to CSS using Grunt (a JavaScript task runner). If you prefer to write CSS, go ahead and just create the CSS file inside css/theme.
• Create a new  .scss file. I will call mine custom.scss . You may have to stop your localhost and run npm run build to transpile your Sass code to CSS.
• Inside the index.html file, change the CSS theme import in the <head> tag to use the name of the newly created stylesheet. The extension will be  .css , not  .scss .
• Next, I created variables for all of the different styles I wanted to use. You can find custom fonts on Google Fonts. Once the font is downloaded, be sure to add the font URL's into the index.html file.

Here are the variables I chose to use:

• Title Font: Viga
• Content Font: Open Sans
• Code Font: Courier New
• Cursive Font: Great Vibes
• Yellow Color: #F9DC24
• Add a  .reveal class to the custom Sass file. This will wrap all of the styles to ensure our custom theme overrides any defaults. Then, add your custom styling!

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I'll admit that I used quite a bit of  !important overrides in my CSS. This is horrible practice and I don't recommend it. The reveal.css file has extremely specific CSS styles, so I should have, if I had more time, gone back and ensured my class names were more specific so I could remove the  !importants .

Mixins & Settings

Reveal.js also comes with mixins and settings you can leverage in your custom theme.

To use the mixins and settings, just import the files into your custom theme:

Mixins You can use the vertical-gradient, horizontal-gradient, or radial-gradient mixins to create a neat visual effect.

All you have to do is pass in the required parameters (color value) and voila, you've got a gradient!

Settings In the settings file, you'll find useful variables like heading sizes, default fonts and colors, and more!

The structure for adding new content is:

.reveal > .slides > section

The <section> element represents one slide. Add as many sections as you need for your content.

Vertical Slides

To create vertical slides, simply nest sections.

Transitions

There are several different slide transitions for you to choose from:

To use them, add a data-transition="{name}" to the <section> which contains your slide data.

Fragments are great for highlighting specific pieces of information on your slide. Here is an example.

To use fragments, add a class="fragment {type-of-fragment}" to your element.

The types of fragments can be:

• fade-in-then-out
• fade-in-then-semi-out
• highlight-current-blue
• highlight-red
• highlight-green
• highlight-blue

You can additionally add indices to your elements to indicate in which order they should be highlighted or displayed. You can denote this using the data-fragment-index={index} attribute.

There are way more features to reveal.js which you can leverage to build a beautiful presentation, but these are the main things which got me started.

To learn more about how to format your slides, check out the reveal.js tutorial . All of the code for my presentation can be viewed on GitHub. Feel free to steal my theme!

I really love reveal.js. I haven't spoken in a while so I haven't used it. I've always used their themes and never thought about making my own. This is probably super useful for company presentations, too. I'm SO over google slides. Trying to format code in those is a nightmare LOL

How about github.com/team-fluxion/slide-gazer ?

It's my fourth attempt at creating a simple presentation tool to help one present ideas quickly without having to spend time within a presentation editor like Microsoft PowerPoint. It directly converts markdown documents into elegant presentations with a few features and is still under development.

The best thing in this - and now I'm not being ironic - is that while you work on a not so much technical task - creating a presentation - you still have to code. And the result is nice.

On the other hand, I know what my presentation skills teachers would say. Well, because they said it... :) If you really want to deliver a captivating presentation, don't use slides at all. Use the time to prepare what you want to say.

I'm not that good - yet, but taking their advice, if must I use few slides, with little information on them and with minimal graphical distractions. My goal is to impress them by what I say, not is what behind my head.

I'm going to a new training soon, where the first day we have to deliver a presentation supported by slides at a big auditorium and the next day we have to go back and forget about the slides and just get on stage and speak. I can't wait for it.

Yup, RevealJS is awesome !

Previously I either used PPT or Google Slides. One is a paid license and the other requires an internet connection.

The cool thing about it is that since it's just HTML files behind the scenes, the only software you need to view it with is a web browser. Has amazing syntax-highlighting support via PrismJS. And as a web developer, it makes it simple to integrate other npm packages if need be...

I actually just used it to present a talk this week!

Check out slides.com If you want to skip the heavy lifting and/or use a presentation platform based on reveal.js.

Everything is still easy to customize. The platform provides a UI to work from and an easy way to share your stuff.

BTW - I have no affiliation with slides.com, or even a current account. I used the service a few years back when I regularly presented and wanted to get over PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.

The web standards model - HTML CSS and JavaScript

Introduction.

Continuing with Web Standards Curriculum , the basic building blocks of the Web — HTML , CSS and JavaScript have been introduced. Now it’s time to dig a little deeper and to look at each of these — what they do, and how the three interact with each other to create a web site.

Why separate?

That’s usually the first question that gets asked about web standards. You can accomplish content, styling and layout just using HTML — font elements for style and HTML tables for layout, so why should we bother with this XHTML/CSS stuff? Tables for layout, etc. is how it used to be done in the bad old days of web design, and many people still do it like this (although you really shouldn’t), which is one of the reasons why we created this course in the first place. We won’t be covering such methods in this course. Here are the most compelling reasons for using CSS and HTML over outdated methods:

• Efficiency of code : The larger your files are, the longer they will take to download, and the more they will cost some people to view (some people still pay for downloads by the megabyte.) You therefore don’t want to waste your bandwidth on large pages cluttered up with styling and layout information in every HTML file. A much better alternative is to make the HTML files stripped down and neat, and include the styling and layout information just once in a separate CSS file. To see an actual case of this in action, check out the A List Apart Slashdot rewrite article where the author took a very popular web site and re-wrote it in XHTML/CSS.
• Ease of maintenance : Following on from the last point, if your styling and layout information is only specified in one place, it means you only have to make updates in one place if you want to change your site’s appearance. Would you prefer to update this information on every page of your site? I didn’t think so.
• Accessibility : Web users who are visually impaired can use a piece of software known as a “screen reader” to access the information through sound rather than sight — it literally reads the page out to them, and it can do a much better job of helping people to find their way around your web page if it has a proper semantic structure, such as headings and paragraphs. In addition keyboard controls on web pages (important for those with mobility impairments that can't use a mouse) work much better if they are built using best practices. As a final example, screen readers can’t access text locked away in images, and find some uses of JavaScript confusing. Make sure that your critical content is available to everyone.
• Device compatibility : Because your HTML/XHTML page is just plain markup, with no style information, it can be reformatted for different devices with vastly differing attributes (eg screen size) by simply applying an alternative style sheet — you can do this in a few different ways (look at the [ mobile articles on dev.opera.com ] for resources on this). CSS also natively allows you to specify different style sheets for different presentation methods/media types (eg viewing on the screen, printing out, viewing on a mobile device.)
• Web crawlers/search engines : Chances are you will want your pages to be easy to find by searching on Google, or other search engines. A search engine uses a “crawler”, which is a specialized piece of software, to read through your pages. If that crawler has trouble finding the content of your pages, or mis-interprets what’s important because you haven’t defined headings as headings and so on, then your rankings in relevant search results will probably suffer.
• It’s just good practice : This is a bit of a “because I said so” reason, but talk to any professional standards-aware web developer or designer, and they’ll tell you that separating content, style, and behaviour is the best way to develop a web application.

Markup, the basis of every page

HTML and XHTML are markup languages composed of elements, which contain attributes (some optional and some mandatory.) These elements are used to mark up the various different types of content in documents, specifying what each bit of content is supposed to be rendered as in web browsers (for example headings, paragraphs, tables, bulleted lists etc.)

Elements define the actual content type, while attributes define extra information about those elements, such as an ID to identify that element, or a location for a link to point to. You should bear in mind that markup is supposed to be as semantic as possible, ie it is supposed to unambiguously describe the function of the content. Figure 1 shows the anatomy of a typical element.

Figure 1: Anatomy of an (X)HTML element.

With that in mind, just what is the difference between HTML and XHTML?

What is XHTML?

HTML is the oldest web language, and the most common one you'll find on the web - it is a bit more forgiving in terms of strict syntax rules. XHTML on the other hand is a reformulation of HTML as an XML vocabulary, XML being a separate markup language with much stricter syntax rules. The difference between XHTML and HTML doesn't really matter so much any more, unless you find youself working in a web team in the future that has coding guidelines that favour one style or another. If you are using HTML5, which we will be doing throughout this course, then you are free to use HTML or XHTML syntax. Choose whatever you are most comfortable with, as long as you stick to the best practices outlined in the course.

Table 1 shows the main syntax differences between HTML and XHTML.

Table 1: Differences between HTML and XHTML.

Validation, what’s that?

Because HTML/XHTML are standards (and CSS too, for that matter), the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has created great tools called validators to automatically check your pages for you, and point out any problems/errors your code might have, such as missing closing tags or missing quotes around attributes. The HTML validator is available online . It will automatically detect whether you’re using HTML or XHTML, and which doctype you’re using. If you want to check out your CSS, there is also a CSS validator available . You can also find a special HTML5 validator online, which tends to be more up to date than the W3C one, as far as HMTL5 is concerned.

For more information on validation, see Validating your HTML . For more information on doctypes, see Choosing the right doctype for your HTML documents .

CSS — let’s add some style

Cascading Style Sheets gives you fine control over the formatting and layout of your document. CSS works on a system of rules, which select the elements you want to style, and then set values for different properties of the elements. You can change or add colors, backgrounds, font sizes and styles, and even position things on your web page in different places. Here is an example CSS rule:

Now any content enclosed within <p></p> tags will have double the line height, and be colored green.

The example below will give you more of an idea of how CSS styles HTML; we’ll start looking at CSS in way more detail in CSS basics .

JavaScript — adding behaviour to web pages

Finally, JavaScript is the scripting language that you use to add behaviour to your web pages — it can be used to validate the data you enter into a form (tell you if it is in the right format or not), provide drag and drop functionality, change styles on the fly, animate page elements such as menus, handle button functionality, and a million other things. Most modern JavaScript works by finding a target HTML element, and then doing something to it, just like CSS, but the way it operates, the syntax etc. is rather different.

JavaScript is a more complicated and expansive subject than HTML and CSS, so to keep things simple and avoid confusion at this stage, I won’t be discussing it in the below example. In fact, you won’t be looking at JavaScript in this course again until Programming - the real basics .

An example page

There are a lot of details I haven’t covered here, but we’ll get through everything during this web design course! For now, I’ll present you with a real page example, just to give you a taste of what you’ll be working with in the rest of the articles.

The example I present below is a references page, which you could use to cite references at the end of say, a psychology essay on the group dynamics of a web development team, or a report for work on broadband Internet use in the United States. Please note, that if you’re a stickler for strict academic writing, this example shows APA formatting (I had to pick one) download the example code .

I’m not going to dissect this file line by line, as you’ll see many examples in future articles, however, a few major things to take note of are as follows.

Line 1 is what’s called the document type declaration, or doctype. In this case, the page is an HTML5 page. The original idea of doctypes was to specify a set of rules that your markup has to follow, and can be validated against, but in actual fact all it really does is to make your browser render the page properly, in what is called "standards mode". The HTML5 doctype is therefore the shortest sequence of characters that will do this. See Choosing the right doctype for your HTML documents for more on doctypes.

Lines 5 to 7 import a CSS file into the page — the styles contained in this file will be applied to the various elements on the page. You’ll see the content of the CSS file that handles all of the formatting for the page in the next section. I’ve assigned a different class to each of the different types of reference. Doing this lets me apply a different style to each type of reference — for instance in our example I’ve put a different color to the right of each reference to make it easier to scan the list.

The page looks like Figure 2 without the CSS applied:

Figure 2: the raw HTML, without any CSS styling

Now let’s take a look at the CSS that styles the HTML.

I went a little overboard with styling up this page, adding some neat background effects in order to show you some of the things that can be accomplished using CSS.

Line 1 sets some defaults for the document such as text and background color, width of border to add around the text, etc. Some people won’t bother to explicitly state defaults like these, and most modern browsers will apply their own defaults, but it is a good idea, as it allows you more control over how your web site will look across different browsers.

On the next line I’ve set the page to be 800 pixels wide (although I could have specified a percentage here to have the page expand/contract based on the size of the browser window. The margin setting I’ve used here will ensure that the page content stays centered in the window.

Next let’s turn our attention to the background images used in the page (these are applied using the background: url declarations.) I’ve got 3 different background elements on this page. The first is a gradient that tiles across the top of the page giving us the nice blue fade. Second, I’ve used a semi-transparent PNG for the pen graphic in order to provide enough contrast with the text above it and to pick up the gradient (semi-transparent PNG images don’t work in Internet Explorer 6 or below, but they work in pretty much every modern browser; see Dean Edward's IE-fixing JavaScript for an IE6 solution to this issue, which also fixes some of IE6’s CSS support issues.)

Finally, I’ve used another semi-transparent PNG for the background of our page heading. It gives the heading a little added contrast, and provides a neat effect.

The fully styled example looks like Figure 3.

Figure 3: The finished example with styles applied.

The reality of it all

Something you should bear in mind when learning web standards is that what we are working towards here is an ideal. It would be so much easier if all web designers and developers used modern web standards and best practices to build web sites, and all browsers in use today supported web standards perfectly. Unfortunately, neither is true - for a start, the web professionals making web sites today have learned how to do so in many different ways, and at many different times. Some are still making web sites using bad practices like tables and spacer gifs, which is what most of us used to do back in the late nineties. Most web professionals taught themselves, and even those of us who did do an official qualification of some kind did not necessarily get taught "the right way" to do things. Many of the university and college courses out there are ...shall we say... behind the times.

If you talked to many of those who do things using the old methods about updating their skill set, they would probably say "why bother - my way works, and I don't have time to learn new skills, so I'm just sticking to what I know." You can understand this argument, but if they could just take the time to update their skills, I'm sure they would find creating cross browser web sites and maintaining their code a lot easier. They would also get better accessibility and SEO thrown into the bargain. For now, I'd advise those of you learning to do things right from the start with courses like this to carry on doing what you are doing! Also, if you get the chance to pass on some of these modern best practices to others, then you will be doing the Web a favour.

And in terms of web browser support, all modern browsers now support HTML, CSS and JavaScript really well. The problem lies in legacy support for old versions of Internet Explorer - IE 6, 7 and 8 still have significant usage figures, so you may still be called upon to support these in web projects. You can work around lack of support for various features, and sometimes lack of support will mean a lesser (eg, it may not look as nice) experience that still works ok, rather than the site not working at all. This may still be fine, depending on your particular situation.

We'll include more details on what to do with older browser support in subsequent chapters.

There is nothing mystical about HTML, CSS and JavaScript. They’re simply an evolution of the web. If you’ve already had some exposure to HTML, there is nothing to “unlearn”. Everything you know is still relevant, you’ll just have to handle certain things a different way (and be a little more careful in your markup).

Aside from getting the satisfaction of a job well done, web standards development just makes sense. The counter-arguments to developing with standards is that it’s time consuming and a pain in the neck having to make a layout work across browsers. The opposite argument could be applied to making a non-standards-based layout work across a range of devices and with future browser versions. How can you be certain that your hobbled-together markup will display at all in future versions of Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.? You can’t, unless you follow the rules.

How to Create a Slideshow with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

A web slideshow is a sequence of images or text that consists of showing one element of the sequence in a certain time interval.

For this tutorial you can create a slideshow by following these simple steps:

Write some markup

Write styles to hide slides and show only one slide..

To hide the slides you have to give them a default style. It'll dictate that you only show one slide if it is active or if you want to show it.

Change the slides in a time interval.

The first step to changing which slides show is to select the slide wrapper(s) and then its slides.

When you select the slides you have to go over each slide and add or remove an active class depending on the slide that you want to show. Then just repeat the process for a certain time interval.

Keep it in mind that when you remove an active class from a slide, you are hiding it because of the styles defined in the previous step. But when you add an active class to the slide, you are overwritring the style display:none to display:block , so the slide will show to the users.

What are html, css, & javascript.

It’s more important than ever to be able to demonstrate a high level of competency and skill in languages that are in high demand. It’s a highly competitive employment marketplace, and anything you can do to set yourself apart will pay off in the long run.

One of the hottest skills is, of course, web development. There’s a huge call for professionals skilled in the languages needed to help design smooth running and slick websites for both mobile and PC platforms.

HTML/CSS/JavaScript: Front End Languages

Three of the most important “front end” languages are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These all have specific uses, and all three are used to design websites. They help define form, function, and style – and are all necessary skills to become web developer.

What is HTML

This is one of the fundamental building blocks of the web. HTML, or “ HyperText Markup Language ,” has been around in some form since roughly 1993, when it was created by physicist Tim Berners-Lee. It’s now in its fifth generation, HTML5.

HTML isn’t a programming language, rather it’s a “Markup language.” It uses a syntax of tags to change the way text is displayed, for instance. It can also define where images go on a page.

What’s great is that HTML is relatively simple to learn. It provides a great place to start for people who don’t have experience with programming languages to learn the basics of coding.

What is CSS

CSS or “Cascading Style Sheets” works with HTML to create the format for web pages. It works on top of the foundation of a page that was created with HTML. It also helps adapt pages to different formats optimized for desktops or mobile devices. The latest standard is CSS3, meaning they are in their third generation.

CSS is what gives websites their polished and professional look. It also allows for the addition of interactive elements like background color, headers, shapes, graphics, and more that make websites and web applications much more engaging to the viewer.

What is JavaScript

JavaScript, which is often abbreviated to JS, is another front-end programming language that is one of the core technologies of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS. As of 2022, 98% of websites use JavaScript on the client side for webpage behavior, often incorporating third-party libraries like JQuery. Whereas HTML & CSS are used to control presentation, formatting, and layout, JavaScript is used to control the behavior of different web elements. 

It is important to learn HTML and CSS before learning JavaScript, since HTML and CSS are the core technologies for building web pages and applications. HTML defines the structure of your content, CSS determines the style and layout, and JavaScript makes the content interactive; therefore, it makes the most sense to learn them in that order. JavaScript incorporates valuable skills such as object-oriented, functional, and imperative styles of programming. Beginner developers, in turn, can apply these skills to any new language they want to learn, like Python and C#.

Understanding how to program in JavaScript is essential to landing any web development job. JavaScript is more complex than both HTML and CSS. However, that doesn’t mean it’s beyond anyone’s grasp. Both professionals and amateur developers both use JavaScript code to make professional-looking websites.

What kind of jobs can I get with HTML, CSS, & Javascript?

Full stack web developer.

A full-stack web developer can develop both client-side functionality and appearance, as well as back-end server software. To do this, you’ll need to master the basic building blocks of HTML and CSS, then program a browser using JavaScript. Once you have experience working with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, you’ll be a great fit for many different entry-level web development positions, and will have the foundation to dive into server and database technologies. Once getting a handle on browser, server and database systems and how they’re interrelated, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a “full stack” web developer. Becoming a full-stack web developer makes you extremely competitive and sought after by many of the top companies in all geographic areas.

Full Stack developers are sought after in all fields, such as life sciences, financial services, defense, academics, and more. There are both entry-level positions and positions of greater responsibility that require a more sophisticated understanding of all these topics.

Front End Developer

All websites, APIs, and web applications use HTML, CSS and JS elements to function. Developers are in high demand, as web-dependent businesses continue to evolve constantly. Since trends in design change, there’s always a need for developers to do the behind-the-scenes work to update the user experience to modern design trends.

Web Designer

As a web designer, you’ll work closely with clients or co-workers to design websites that are functional and visually appealing. You’ll be working not just behind-the-scenes coding in HTML/CSS/JavaScript, but also with the colors, shapes, and fonts that make the website pop for the client.

Common terms in web design you’ll become familiar with are UX and UI design. What is the difference between UX and UI design? UX design refers to the term “user experience design”, while UI stands for “user interface design”. Both elements are crucial to a product and work closely together. But despite their professional relationship, the roles themselves are different, and can refer to very different aspects of the product development process at different stages.

UX Designer

A User Experience Designer focuses on the effectiveness of a product. As the name suggests, a UX designer will build the structural design solutions that streamline the full customer experience from end to end.

UI Designer

A User Interface designer will focus on making the product aesthetically pleasing. This includes all the visual elements that allow users to interact with a product – the layout, typography, color palette, buttons, animations and imagery that create the product or application.

Due to their complementary roles in web development, UI and UX design skills and technologies often overlap one another. When you have working knowledge of both concentrations, this helps to create a more cohesive and transparent design process that leads to a better, more usable final product.

Freelance Web Designer

If you are a full-stack developer, skilled in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, it is easy to find freelance opportunities, rather than settling on one employer. This is a big advantage to many freelancers working across industries, who often are able to enjoy the flexibility of working remotely.

The only downside can be unpredictability. If one job ends, you may have lag time before you find another freelance opportunity. The good news is that these days, there are a host of online platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, and more, with countless employers and small business owners in constant need of skilled web designers.

Be sure to post all your certifications, experience, and portfolio on your various job search platform profiles, to help you find matches more quickly!

How do I learn HTML/CSS/JavaScript?

The good news is that both HTML and CSS are fairly approachable languages. People have been learning HTML on their own for decades, though a deeper, more professional skill level comes with taking courses, either online or at in-person training programs.

For a quick introduction, there are a host of different tutorials available online for learning basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Microsoft, W3Schools, Khan Academy, and more have some great, easy-to-follow study materials to help familiarize yourself with the topic and start creating some sample web pages.

To gain a competitive edge however, it is recommended to pursue a software development degree or related field. As part of your studies, you will learn and be exposed to various languages, including HTML/CSS/JavaScript. Having a degree can be a boost to finding your dream job in data analytics, cybersecurity, and web design.

How do I land a position in Web Development?

The first step to landing a web development position is to get command of all three front-end languages: HTML/CSS/JavaScript. CIAT’s stackable, accelerated software development programs are a great option to get you started.

The  Applied Associate to Bachelor’s Degree in Software Development – Web Development Concentration  program will get you up and running in the core languages used across the industry, such as:

• HTML/CSS/JavaScript

CIAT’s virtual campus allows anyone, anywhere to attend live classes online with flexible schedules.

Once you develop proficiency in these languages, it’s time to create a coding portfolio. You’ll be working on that during your coursework at CIAT. Your portfolio lets you put your best foot forward and show potential employers what you’re capable of!

Take the first step.

Building a strong coding portfolio takes hard work and dedication. Whether you’re just starting in the field or advancing your career, learning how to create an education plan that aligns with your career goals saves you time and money. This also delivers the most significant return on your investment.

HTML,CSS and JavaScript Written by Dr. Yaron Kanza, Edited by permission from author by Liron Blecher

HTML • Style Sheets • Style Properties • Layout Properties • Selector Types • Inserting Style to a Page • Inheritance and Cascading • Java Script Agenda

What is HTML? • A Markup Language for representing documents • text (data) • structure • appearance • functionality • Designed for writing Web pages • Traditionally rendered by Web browsers • Nowadays, also by other applications (for example: AppStore app in iOS)

Capabilities of HTML • Content presentation • Structures, e.g., paragraphs, lists, tables, etc. • Decorations, e.g., fonts, images, etc. • Declaration of meta information • e.g., the page title, language, etc. • Linkage to other pages • i.e., attaching links to components • Management of user input • e.g., searching, making reservations, ordering products • Directions for browsers • e.g., refresh, redirect, caching control, etc.

HTML Page Structure HTML Page Structure <html> <head> <title>An HTML Page</title> </head> <body> <h1 id="hdr1">Hello World Wide Web!</h1> </body> </html> Filename ends with.htmor.html

HTML Version History • HTML 1.0 (first draft) – 1992 • HTML 2.0 (proposed standard) – September 1995 From this point on - W3C recommendations • HTML 3.2– January 1997 • added tables, applets, ... • HTML 4.0– December 1997 • improved tables, forms, ...

HTML Version History - cont’d • HTML 4.01 – December 1999 • Slightly different from 4.0 • XHTML 1.0– January 2000 • Reformulation of HTML 4.01 as an XML application • Stricter and cleaner syntax, formatting moved to CSS • XHTML 1.1– May 2001 • “Modularization of XHTML”

(X)HTML Support in Real Life • Non-standard / mixed HTML • Most of the time, will display more-or-less as expected, on most browsers, but its appearance may vary between browser types and between browser versions • Even when using completely valid and standard HTML, always check your pages on more than one browser type • At least IE & some Mozilla

Basic HTML Syntax • (X)HTML contains text, separated bytags • Tags come in pairs: openingand closingtag • Tags can haveattributes, which havevalues <html> <head><title>An HTML Page</title></head> <body> <h1id="hdr1">Hello World Wide Web!</h1></body> </html>

Basic HTML Syntax – con’t Basic HTML Syntax – con’t • An HTML page is surrounded by the html tag • 2 Basic parts: • head: general information about the document (e.g., title – shown on the browser bar) • body: the content of the document Actually a tree structure is created <html> <head><title>An HTML Page</title></head> <body> <h1id="hdr1">Hello World Wide Web!</h1> </body> </html>

XHTML Stricter Syntax • Element and attr. names must be in lower case • HTML allows any case combination, e.g., <Body></BODY>, which conveniently helped distinguish tags from the body text • All tags must have corresponding closing tags • Use <br/> as a shorthand for <br></br> • Elements should be properly nested • e.g.,<b>hello <em>world</b></em>is illegal! • Attribute values must be quoted • e.g., <td rowspan="3"> and not <td rowspan=3>

Document Type Definitions • It is good to specify which XHTML standard you are using • Put a document type definition (DTD) at the first line of your file (before the html tag) • For an example, see the next slide

Document Type Definitions – con’t • XHTML - strict <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> • XHTML - transitional (loose) Transition htmlxhtml: allows some legacy formatting outside CSS <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> • XHTML - frameset (for using frames) <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">

Basic Structures <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title> Hello World Example </title> </head> <body> Hello World </body> </html>

Links <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <title> Hello World Example </title> </head> <body> <a href=“anotherExample.html”>Hello World</a> </body> </html>

What are Style Sheets • A style sheetis a mechanism that allows to specify how HTML (/XHTML/XML) pages should look • The style is specified by style rules • The style rules appear either in the document or in external files, called style sheets

Style Sheets • Usually, a file that ends with .css • For example: • i.a.cnn.net/cnn/.element/ssi/css/1.1/main.css(CNN) • http://www.mta.ac.il//_layouts/1037/styles/core.cs (MTA) • To attach a style sheet to an HTML file, add <link rel="stylesheet"type="text/css"href="css-file"/> You can link to more than one css file to the head

Style Sheets • A file that is used for storing information about the way elements of HTML (or XML) should appear on the browser • A style sheet increases the separation between content and presentation • Easier to generate large sites in which all the pages have the same style • It allows changing the look of many pages by changing a single file • May reduce network traffic

Without a style sheet (i.e., with the defaultstyle definitions)

Simple Example – without css div defines a division/section in a document.Using div you group elements. <html> <head><title>A Joke</title></head> <body> <div><imgsrc="tomato.gif"alt="joke"/></div> <h1>A joke</h1> <p>A mama tomato, a papa tomato and a baby tomato are walking down the street. The baby tomato keeps falling behind so the papa tomato goes back, steps on the baby tomato and says, ketchup ("Catch-up!"). </p> </body> </html>

Style File: joke.css Simple Example body { background-image:url("bg.gif"); } h1 { background-color: green; color:rgb(250, 200, 250); /* pink */ font-family:cursive; } p { background-color: yellow; color: purple; font-size:200%;}

Simple Example - with css <html> <head><title>A Joke</title> <linkrel="stylesheet"type="text/css"href="joke.css"/> </head> <body> <div><imgsrc="tomato.gif"alt="joke"></div> <h1>A joke</h1> <p>A mama tomato, a papa tomato and a baby tomato are walking down the street. The baby tomato keeps falling behind so the papa tomato goes back, steps on the baby tomato and says, ketchup ("Catch-up!"). </p></body> </html>

Background: Style in Legacy HTML • In traditional HTML, every HTML tag which supported changing its font/color/etc…, supported this using a different syntax • Examples: <body background=“bg.jpg” vlink =“green”> <center>Hello</center> <font size="3" color="red">Hey!</font> <strike>line-through</strike> <table border=“1px”>

Simple Example – without css Simple Example – without css • Separates content from style • Often require two kinds of skills; moreover, one is likely to change independently from the other • Keeps HTML pages human-readable • Reduces download time (how?) • Allows to easily maintain a consistent appearance over a whole Web site (why?) • A more flexible, unified way to specify style properties for different HTML elements (tables, paragraphs, etc…)

The Transition to Style Sheets • Style Sheets provide new ways to accomplish tasks which were already possible • … but recall the advantages from the previous slide • Once style sheets were introduced, most of the legacy features with equivalent functionality were deprecated in HTML 4.01 and in Transitional XHTML and were removed in Strict XHTML

Style Rules • A rule has the following form selector {declaration block} • The selector determines when the rule is applied • For example, the following rule applies to text that is inside a <p> tag p{color: green;font-size:1.5em;font-style:italic} em is the current font-size of the element

Properties that CSS Controls • Style properties • Layout properties • There are many properties and many possible values • We will not cover all of them here • Look in the Web !!!

Our Examples • We use the following HTML example: This is<span>our example </span>for css. • The <span> tag is used to group inline elements for formatting with styles • Extremely useful tag...

Font Properties • Font properties: family, size, weight, style, variant, etc. span { font-family: courier; font-size:130%; font-style:italic; font-weight:bold}

Text Properties • Text properties: color, transform, decoration, … span { color:#00cc00; text-decoration:line-through; text-transform:uppercase}

Background Properties • Background properties: background-color, background-image, … span {background-color:#00ff00} span {background-image:url('bg.gif');}

Mysite-joke demo

Page Layout • Each HTML element defines a layer(rectangular box) that is placed in some location on the page • Layers are nestedwith correspondence to the nesting of their elements

Inline vs. Block Elements • There are two type of elements: • Block elements: p, ol, table, div, h1, etc. • Inline elements: b, i, a, span, cite, etc. • Layers of block elements are separated from their adjacent elements (i.e., a new line before and after), while inline elements are not • You can turn a block into an inline and vice-versa (highly useful for img elements, among others), using the display property, e.g., h1 { display: inline }

Positioning Elements • Using CSS, you can define the position of an element inside its parent layer • For that, use the properties position, left, right, top and bottom span { position:relative; left:1cm; top: 1cm; color:#00cc00;} distance from left distance from top

Position Types • But 1cm left to what?? • For that, we have the position property • Four position types are supported: • static: the default position • relative: relative to the static position • absolute: relative to the parent layer coordinates • fixed: relative to the window coordinates (remains at the same position regardless of scrolling)

Position Examples Positions Examples span { position:absolute; left:1cm; top: 1cm; color:#00cc00;} span { position:fixed; left:1cm; top: 1cm; color:#00cc00;}

Positions Examples – con’t span { position:static; left:1cm; top: 1cm; color:#00cc00;} This is the default position type

margin Padding More Layout Properties • Layer properties • margin-top (-bottom, -left, -right) • padding-top (-bottom, -left, -right) • border-width (-color, -style, … ) • Text Layout • direction, word-spacing, white-space, letter-spacing, text-align, text-indent, … A mama tomato, a papa tomato and a baby tomato are walking down the street. A mama tomato, a papa tomato and a baby tomato are walking down the street.

Length Units • CSS has several types of length units: • em, ex: height of current fonts • ex is the height of “x”, em is the distance between bottoms of two subsequent lines • px, in, cm, mm, pt, pc: international units • %: ratio of parent’s respective dimension • A page should remain a proper layout when fonts and/or windows are resized (usually by the user) • Hence, do not assume anything about default sizes

Links • CSS Layout Tutorials: http://learnlayout.com/

Several Kinds of Selectors • Type Selectors • Class Selectors • ID Selectors • Attribute Selectors • Universal Selector • Child Selectors • Adjacent-Sibling Selectors • Descendant Selectors • Pseudo-Class Selectors • Pseudo-Element Selectors

Type Selector • A type selector is the name of an element type • A type selector matches every instance of the element type li {color: red;font-size:16px} Matches: <ol> <li> An item </li> <liclass="reditem"> Another item </li> </ol>

Universal Selector • The universal selector matches every element • The following rule means that all the text will have a size of 40px * {font-size: 40px }

Attribute Selector • p[title] • matches p when its title attribute is set to any value • p[title=intro] or p[title="intro"](the quotes are optional) • matches p when its title attribute is set to “intro” • p[class~=green] • matches p when the class attribute value includes the word “green”
