HTML Codes and the Experiment with Dreamweaver MX

I didn't update my blog during the Christmas break because I was busy but here is the 2nd last class before the holidays:

Today our teacher taught us about HTML coding and the features in Dreamweaver MX. The teacher taught us in depth about the 3 types of views, the coding view where you only can see and insert codes, the coding and design view where there is a box to insert HTML codes and you can see what are the effects of these codes. We also learned about the design view where we can move things around. The teacher taught us some HTML Codes and he talks about how this program helps you with the html codes. You always start a html code with <> and you type and operation in them like . If you do this dream weaver will give you selections like changing the colour with html of text, you are required to type these things ontop of the text itself and put the ending barcket on where you want it to end. He mention the properties tool bar, with this you do not have to type in a html code to change the colour, font and any characteristics you just have to click on the characteristic changes you want and it applys the html coding for you. The teacher also taugh us how does a website works, when you type in a web adress it searches for a page called the index, if your main page is index it will find and you could work around with it, but if you are missing a page called the index even if you hyperlinked things it will show a layout of all the pages on the website. So you must make the main page called index and the rest can be called what ever you want, but you must save as each individual page as a file of its own. The final thing we learned was how to hyperlink text and picutres, to do so we just highlight the text or select the picture, that we click on the properties tool bar and you can see a bulseye button which says hyper to files, when you click it a arrow will fallow your curser and you will have to move it to the files tab in the doc, and then go to the file you want to link it to.

HTML- Stands for Hyper Text Makeup Language which is the what the computer sees, so if you see the image, it is basically an HTML code.
