What makes up a web page? |
|||||||||||
|
On these pages: This is paragraph style. This is Heading H1.This is heading H2.This is heading H3.This is heading H4.This is heading H5.This is heading H6.---------- The appearance of the headers and paragraph lettering
are partly controlled by a Cascading Style Sheet. Each page is
linked to the CSS page. Changes made in
the CSS page change the appearance of the lettering in all of the pages
on the web site, instantly. |
Pictures on the web are measured in pixels instead of inches.  This cow is 100 pixels tall.Tables are often used to control the layout of a page.Notice that this page has thin lines that make rectangles. Those lines show where the table is sliced into cells. They are invisible on the rest of the site, but displayed here for you to see how tables can be used to divide a page into areas for text and/or pictures. Layout can also be controlled using Cascading Style Sheets. This works well in the newest browsers. The div tag comes in handy for applying styles to text and for inserting pictures into a page. The pale clovers in the background are a tile. The tile repeats a decorative pattern behind the content of the web page. |

This site has some features for improving accessibility for the disabled. There are accesskeys listed at the bottom of the page which allow people to navigate the site using their keyboard instead of a mouse. (Accesskeys work in Netscape 6 and Internet Explorer 5.) A skip navigation feature allows people who use screen readers while they listen to their computers to bypass the green buttons that appear on most pages and jump directly to the page content.
Many of the pages on this site were updated from Transitional HTML to HTML 4.01 Strict in January 2003. Tables are still used for sections of the page layout because tables are more effective with older web browsers than are Cascading Style Sheets.
