HTML
is an abbreviation for Hyper Text Markup Language and is what browsers read to
deliver web pages. This language, so to speak, has several versions that are
updated over time. HTML is composed of elements, also known as tags that create
the content of a web page. Examples of HTML include:
CSS is an
abbreviation for Cascading Style Sheet. This can be described in two parts.
First, the word “style sheet” is the document itself and is a technical
specification for the layout. They are used for both print and online layout.
Second, the work “cascade” describes how a Web style sheet passes, or cascades,
through a series of style sheets. As each Web page cascades, it is affected by
at least one style sheet called the user agent style sheet (this is a default
style used by the Web browser in the case that no instructions are provided by
the designer). The designer must indicate the preferred instructions if they
are supplied, however.
HTML5
came about in 2005 when the members of the current HTML working group did not
like the path that the W3C was taking the development of HTML, holding that the
real-world development needs of the language were being ignored and the focus was
too heavy on XML and XHTML. A new group came together and called themselves
WHATWG, which stands for Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group.
This group aimed to evolve the web and came up with HTML5. Examples of tags and
event handlers for drag and drop include the following:
•
ondrag
•
ondragstart
•
ondragend
• ondrop
CSS is unlike HTML in that it does not "create"
anything, but rather decorates, aligns, and positions elements in HTML. CSS
takes the HTML output and adds some rules, essentially dictating how it is
displayed. CSS can also edit things, a few being element width and height,
border, alignment, background color, and actual visibility. HTML is able to
complete some of these tasks but probably won’t be in the near future.
HTML
email is formatted like a web page in that it can use colors, table columns,
links, and graphics. Plain text email does not have these options and only uses
text.
