Booknews
Burns, professor of communications at Susquehana University and creator of the award-winning HTML Goodies Web site, offers a series of self-contained, reader-friendly tutorials for learning HTML and building Web sites. Everything needed is contained in each lesson, so there is no need to check previous chapters for information. HTML is covered from the ground up, followed by material on building Web site features such as visitor counters, scrolling marquees, RealAudio sound, and searchable databases. Each "goody" in the book has a working example on the Web site. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Meet the Author

Joe Burns, Ph.D. began writing HTML tutorials in 1994 to be able to remember complex commands while teaching. Less than a month after his first five HTML Goodies tutorials were available, they were the most visited pages on the university Web site. At one point, the tutorials were taken down for a short while because the volume of visitors was putting too much of a strain on the server. The site exploded into millions of visitors in 1996 when seven HTML primers and 10 new tutorials were added to the first five to create HTMLGoodies.com. HTML Goodies is now the largest HTML help site on the Web, supporting over 180 tutorials, hundreds of free images, and numerous bad jokes.

The site serves close to 8 million page views a month from a mind-boggling number of users. The site has won over 170 awards, been reviewed favorably in national newspapers and magazines, and continues to grow.

Burns holds a Ph.D. in communications from Bowling Green State University. He's currently a professor of communications at Southeastern Louisiana University, where he lives with his wife and two cats, Mardi and Chloe.

Chapter 3: Manipulating Text

How did it go with your first HTML page? I'll assume it went well. If I don't assume as much, I can't go on, and I want to go on. Now you know the basics about placing flags and manipulating text in terms of bold, italic, and typewriter font. That's good, and along with the <HR>, <BR>, and <P> commands, you'll be able to play with text placement. Now we'll talk about changing text size.

Visit this tutorial online at http://www.htmlgoodies.com/primer_3.html.

Heading Flags

Heading flags are used extensively on HTML documents to--you guessed it--create headings! How novel.

There are six heading flags: <H1> through <H6>. <H1> is the largest and <H6> is the smallest. Headings need begin and end flags, as shown in Figure P3.1.

Heading commands create nice bold text, as shown in the figure, and are quite easy to use. It's a simple <H#> and </H#> command. However, they do have one other annoying trait: They like to be alone. When you use a heading command, the text is set alone by default. It's like the heading commands carry a <P> command with them. It's hard to get other text to sit next to it. It's as if it wants to be, dare I say, a heading. Try a few for yourself.

Font Size Commands

Maybe you'd like a little more control over your text size. Well, here it is: the <FONT SIZE> flags. Heading commands are great for text at the top of the page, and they're also good for separating your Web page into logical sections of text.

There are twelve font size flags available to you: +6 through +1 and -1 through -6. As you probably guessed, +6 is the largest. It's huge. The smallest one is -6. It's a little small. Figure P3.2 shows a few in action. Follow this pattern to place one on your page:

<FONT SIZE="
##">

The ## can be anything from +6 to -6.

Notice that the first flag is actually doing two things:

This is what's referred to as a command inside of a command, or just a subcommand. When you have that, you denote the subcommand with an equal (=) sign and enclose it within quotation marks. Look at the preceding code. See the equal sign, and the plus or minus number in quotation marks? That's the subcommand:.

Also notice in Figure P3.2 that the end command for a <FONT SIZE> flag only requires </FONT>.

FAQs from the HTML Goodies Web Site

Centering Text and Aligning It to the Right

Since you've already created a few Web pages, you no doubt noticed that the text always starts at the left of the screen. That's the default; it just happens without you doing anything. What if you want your text centered, or aligned with the right side of the screen? Can you do that? Yes! (and Figure P3.3 shows you some examples).

You center text by surrounding it with simple <CENTER> and </CENTER> commands. Here's what it looks like:

<CENTER>All text in here will be centered</CENTER>

Getting text to align on the right is a little trickier. You need to set the text aside as a paragraph unto itself. Here's the format:

<P ALIGN="right">text that will go to the right</P>

You probably remember that <P> command from Primer 2. Here again is the concept of a command inside of a command. You are setting an attribute of the <P> flag. That alignment command is what pushes to the right. Remember this: When you use a subcommand in the <P> flag, you need to end with a </P> flag. . . .

    Simple and fun

    As a 16 year old looking for a start in the web design world, I have found Joe's books to be absolutely GREAT for help. I've tried many others books, all of them sounded like a robot was trying to teach me. Joe puts it in a form where you can learn easily and have fun with it. :)

    Excellent Reference

    This book is a fantastic resource for creating a website. Used in conjunction with the Dr. Burns' website, you are guaranteed the latest and the greatest. Insightful, with great humor and easy to understand text - I show this book to every one who asks how I am doing my website (a work in progress!). I am a big fan of the computer, but I taught myself everything I know about it. If I can do it - anyone can.

    Great Book!

    This is the absolute best book I have seen on HTML. Burns makes learning HTML an enjoyable experience with his comical views. He really makes you want to learn- without being bored doing it. I recommend this book to anyone who is beginning HTML and has even the smallest sense of humor.

    Incredible...

    I never thought I could learn so much stuff from this book. I bought this book a year ago and over summer, it gave me the foundations I needed to create great layouts. My friends started complimenting me on my layouts and just yesterday I was trying to find something on XML, and lo and behold, there was a section on XML in HTML Goodies! In one year i've learned HTML, Javascript, DHTML, and SSI, and it all started with this book.

    Not What I expected

    I thought there was something special about this book. It turns out to be just like any other Java Script book with the same old examples. I am new to Java Script, and need more real world examples & scenarios. Does anyone know how to java script a conference reservation system, passing values from one page to another, using tables?

    Great book for HTML 'Stupid' people

    When i first purchased this book is was for it's great price, but I soon found that there was much more to it. HTML Goodies gives you step by step clear as day instructions on all html codes. If you want examples to go with what you are learning there is and online webpage to go with every lesson. It totally improved my webpage see for yourself (http://redhill.cjb.net). His new book Javascript Goodies is also a must buy!
