## File Management

### For Your Class Work

- Create a directory or folder for your class work.
- Create a "playground" area where you can play and experiment.
- Assignments - unzip/extract the materials, then move into your class work folder

## File Management

### For Web Sites

- Use folders or directories to help organize files. Recommendation is to adopt folder names of `styles` (for CSS files), `scripts` (for JavaScript files, and `images` (for images).
- Use `index.html` filename as appropriate
- Prefer filenames that only have lowercase, numeric, underscore or dashes (e.g. avoid spaces, and other things like !@#$%^&*(){}\|?/>

## Relative URLs

URL
`https://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/voting-rights-act`

- Scheme
  `https://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/voting-rights-act`
- Host
  `https://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/voting-rights-act`
- Path
  `https://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/voting-rights-act`

### Absolute and Relative Locations

- Where does `https://summer.harvard.edu/` go to?
- How about `/images/mug.png` ?
- What about `../styles/site.css` ?

## Absolute and Relative Locations

Relative locations (URLs) are resolved according to the location (URL) of the containing (starting) document!

#### Absolute or Fully Qualified URLs

Absolute, or fully-qualified, URLs specify the complete information (scheme, host, port, path).

`https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/06/historian-puts-the-push-to-remove-confederate-statues-in-context/`

#### Relative or Partial URLs

Relative, or partial, URIs specify partial information. The information not provided is resolved from the current location.

`<a href="slide2.html">Slide 2</a>`

#### Relative to Server Root

Is this relative or absolute? Scheme, host, and port would be resolved from current location, but path is absolute

`<a href="/copyright.html">copyright information</a>`

## Relative Paths to Parent Locations

- `../`
  refers to the parent directory
- `./`
  refers to current directory

Location: `https://www.madeupschool.edu/museums/index.html`
Relative URL | Resolved URL
--- | ---
`../index.html` | `https://www.madeupschool.edu/index.html`
`../arts/index.html` | `https://www.madeupschool.edu/arts/index.html`
`../images/museum_building.jpg` | `https://www.madeupschool.edu/images/museum_building.jpg`

Relative links are "transportable":

Containing Page: `https://stage.madeupschool.edu/museums/index.html`
Relative Link | Document
--- | ---
`../index.html` | `https://stage.madeupschool.edu/index.html`
`../arts/index.html` | `https://stage.madeupschool.edu/arts/index.html`
`../images/museum_building.jpg` | `https://stage.harvard.edu/images/museum_building.jpg`

## Resolving Relative Links

Simple relative link.

Current Location:
https://www.acme.com/products/road_runner_traps/model_a.html

That contains the link:
model_b.html

Resolves to:
https://www.acme.com/products/road_runner_traps/model_b.html

## Resolving Relative Links

Relative link that uses "../" to "move up" the the URL path of the current URL.

Current Location:
https://www.acme.com/products/road_runner_traps/model_a.html

That contains the link:
../images/model_a.png
Note that the `..` is a way to "move up" the URL path (the URL path is divided by `/`).

Resolves to:
https://www.acme.com/products/images/model_a.png

### Resolving Relative Links 3

Relative URL that uses scheme and host from of the currrent URL.

Current Location:
https://www.acme.com/products/road_runner_traps/model_a.html

That contains the link:
/styles/screen.css
Note that the `/` at the beginning of the relative URL means that we start from host and scheme provided by the current location -- the relative URL is proving the complete path.

Resolves to:
https://www.acme.com/styles/screen.css

## Recommendation: Use Relative Links within a Site

There are advantages to using relative links to those resources within a site.

Obviously, links that are outside of the site need to be fully qualified.

A site will often have multiple versions -- you might develop the site locally, a testing site, a staging site, and a production site (sometimes not all of these will exist, but certainly more than one environment will exist for a site).

Using relative links within a site will let you move your web work from your local development site to the next level, and all the links will still point to the correct places!

Relative links will keep your site "self-contained" and easily transportable to different environments -- for example, when you move from

- `acme.localhost` to
- `dev.acme.com` to
- `test.acme.com` to
- `stage.acme.com` to
- `www.acme.com`

## URL to Filename Mapping

### User directories in a shared environment

Web documents for each user are kept in the user's home directory, in a directory typically named public_html. As an example, for the user jharvard whose home directory is /home/courses/j/h/jharvard

URI | https://cs12students.dce.harvard.edu/~jharvard/index.html
File | /home/courses/j/h/jharvard/public_html/index.html

#### Document Root

The Web documents are typically kept under a single directory, traditionally named htdocs. The full path to this directory is called the "document root" of the Web server, for example, /www/htdocs.

URI | https://www.unicorns-r-us.com/jobs/index.html
File | /www/unicorns-r-us.com//jobs/index.html

## Directory Requests and "index.html"

URL paths that map to a directory. For example the request: `http://www.madeupschool.edu/museums/` would return the `index.html` page in the `museums` directory.

## Most commonly used or seen elements

Start with these 24 — these are elements you will use in most of your web pages, or that you'll find in a majority of web pages.

- The root element
  - `html`
- Document metadata
  - `head`
  - `title`
  - `link`
  - `meta`
- Sections

How to find out more about them? Two places that I would start are:

- HTML Living Standard (WHATWG). For example:
  - html
  - a
- MDN web docs, and specifically MDN - HTML elements reference. For example:
  - h1 to h6
  - img

## Page Structure - header, main, footer

First, recall the basic document structure:

- html
  - head
    - title
    - meta
  - body

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Document Title</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <!-- content goes here -->
      </body>
    </html>

### header, main, footer

MDN HTML elements reference: header, main, footer.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Document Title</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <header> <!-- page header --> </header>
        <main> <!-- main content goes here --> </main>
        <footer> <!-- page footer --> </footer>
      </body>
    </html>

## An improved HTML5 document template

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html lang="en">
      <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <title>Document Title</title>
      </head>
      <body>
        <header> <!-- page header --> </header>
        <main> <!-- main content goes here --> </main>
        <footer> <!-- page footer --> </footer>
      </body>
    </html>

## HTML5 Elements - Page Structure

`header`, `main`, `footer`, `nav`

## Common HTML5 Elements - Grouping Content

- `article` and `section`
- Paragraphs - `p`
- Divisions - `div`
- Lists
  - `ul`
  - `li`

## p and div elements

### p element

The `p` element is used to group paragraphs.

Example 2.1 - p element - Example 2.1<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed feugiat nisi at sapien. Phasellus varius tincidunt ligula. Praesent nisi. Duis sollicitudin. Donec dignissim, est vel auctor blandit, ante est laoreet neque, non pellentesque mauris turpis eu purus.</p><p>Suspendisse mollis leo nec diam. Vestibulum pulvinar tellus sit amet nulla fringilla semper. Aenean aliquam, urna et accumsan sollicitudin, tellus pede lobortis velit, nec placerat dolor pede nec nibh. Donec fringilla. Duis adipiscing diam at enim. Vestibulum nibh.</p><p>Proin sollicitudin ante vel eros. Nunc tempus. Quisque vitae quam non magna mattis volutpat. Ut a risus. Fusce bibendum sagittis magna.</p>

Suspendisse mollis leo nec diam. Vestibulum pulvinar tellus sit amet nulla fringilla semper. Aenean aliquam, urna et accumsan sollicitudin, tellus pede lobortis velit, nec placerat dolor pede nec nibh. Donec fringilla. Duis adipiscing diam at enim. Vestibulum nibh.

Proin sollicitudin ante vel eros. Nunc tempus. Quisque vitae quam non magna mattis volutpat. Ut a risus. Fusce bibendum sagittis magna.

### div element - division

The `div` element is to group block-level content, and is typically used to define parts of the page so that CSS rules can be applied specifically to those parts.

Example 2.2 - div element - Example 2.2 (Without Styles)<div class="part1">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed feugiat nisi at sapien. Phasellus varius tincidunt ligula. Praesent nisi. Duis sollicitudin. Donec dignissim, est vel auctor blandit, ante est laoreet neque, non pellentesque mauris turpis eu purus.</div><div class="part2">Suspendisse mollis leo nec diam. Vestibulum pulvinar tellus sit amet nulla fringilla semper. Aenean aliquam, urna et accumsan sollicitudin, tellus pede lobortis velit, nec placerat dolor pede nec nibh. Donec fringilla. Duis adipiscing diam at enim. Vestibulum nibh.</div><div class="part3">Proin sollicitudin ante vel eros. Nunc tempus. Quisque vitae quam non magna mattis volutpat. Ut a risus. Fusce bibendum sagittis magna.</div>div.part1 {padding: 2em; color: white; background-color: green;} div.part2 { color: purple; padding: 2em; border: medium solid purple;} div.part3 { background-color: orange; padding: 1em; font-size: smaller;}

     </div>
     <div class="part2">Suspendisse mollis leo nec diam. Vestibulum pulvinar tellus sit amet nulla fringilla semper. Aenean aliquam, urna et accumsan sollicitudin, tellus pede lobortis velit, nec placerat dolor pede nec nibh. Donec fringilla. Duis adipiscing diam at enim. Vestibulum nibh.

     <div class="part3">Proin sollicitudin ante vel eros. Nunc tempus. Quisque vitae quam non magna mattis volutpat. Ut a risus. Fusce bibendum sagittis magna.
     </div>

In `style` element (`<style>`) within `head` element:

    div.part1 {padding: 2em; color: white; background-color: green;}
    div.part2 { color: purple; padding: 2em; border: medium solid purple;}
    div.part3 { background-color: orange; padding: 1em; font-size: smaller;}

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Sed feugiat nisi at sapien. Phasellus varius tincidunt ligula. Praesent nisi. Duis sollicitudin. Donec dignissim, est vel auctor blandit, ante est laoreet neque, non pellentesque mauris turpis eu purus.

## Lists - ul and li

Lists are very useful, both for:

- Content
- Navigation

There are three types of lists:

- Unordered (most common)
  `ul` and `li`
- Ordered
  `ol` and `li`
- Dictionary (rare)
  `dl`, `dt`, and `dd`

Example 2.3 - Unordered List - Example 2.3<ul><li>Tea</li><li>Bread</li><li>Cheese</li><li>Chips</li><li>Ice Cream</li></ul>

       </li>
       <li>Chips
       </li>
       <li>Ice Cream
       </li> </ul>

- Tea
- Bread
- Cheese
- Chips
- Ice Cream

Example 2.4 - Nested Unordered List - Example 2.4<ul><li>Tea <ul><li>Kenyan</li><li>Sikkim</li><li>Ceylon</li><li>Assam</li><li>Oolong</li></ul></li><li>Potato Chips <ul><li>Dirty's</li><li>Art's and Mary's</li><li>Tim's Cascade</li><li>Cape Cod</li></ul></li></ul>

## Nested Lists - li is a child of ul!

Keep in mind that the only allowed child of a `ul` element is an `li` element. So in a nested list, the nested `ul` needs to contained within the `li`:

Correct | Incorrect ul must be within li
--- | ---

Sometimes this is confusing, since in the "HTML" form of HTML5, the end tags are options for `li`, so while it may appear that you can have a `ul` as a child of `ul`, you really can't -- there's an implied end-tag there.

## Lists in Action

Harvard Homepage - lists are outlined in magenta and list items in green. Note that some lists are "horizontal" and some are "vertical" -- exactly how a list is rendered can be controlled by CSS

## Sections - Headings

Any single heading element wasn't technically only our "top" list, but collectively (h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6), these are important!

Example in Gist Example in bl.ocks View Example Example in JSFiddle

    <h1>Primary Heading (1st)</h1>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...</p>
    <h2>Secondary Heading (2nd)</h2>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...</p>
    <h3>Tertiary Heading (3rd)</h3>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...</p>
    <h4>Quarternary Heading (4th)</h4>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...</p>
    <h5>Quinary Heading (5th level)</h5>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...</p>
    <h6>Senary Heading (6th level)</h6>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit...</p>

## Headings and Lists In Action

Heading elements (h1,h2,etc.) and lists (ul,li) combined with CSS are very powerful. Headings can remain headings in markup and CSS can style them as desired. Lists can remain lists in markup (navigation, content items, etc.) and CSS can style them as desired.

## Common HTML5 Elements - a element - anchor

The anchor — `a` — element is at the center of the key "hypertext" feature of the web. The `a` element is how to create hyperlinks from resource to another!

To go along with the `a` element is the `href` attribute. The value of the `href` attribute is the URL that the browser will load when the link is activated (e.g. a mouse click).

The following paragraph was taken from "'Sunshine vitamin' looks a little brighter", HarvardScience, February 5, 2013:

Code:

    <p>Adequate levels of
    <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/vitamin-d/NS_patient-vitamind">vitamin D</a>
    during young adulthood may reduce the risk of adult-onset
    <a href="http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/type-1/">type 1 diabetes</a>
    by as much as 50 percent, according to researchers at the
    <a href="http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/">Harvard School of Public Health</a>
    (HSPH). If confirmed in future studies, the findings could lead to a role for vitamin D
    supplementation in preventing this serious autoimmune disease in adults.</p>

## Creating Links

Build confidence by making your links predictable and differentiable.

- Predictable
  - Am I getting 'closer' to my goal?
- Differentiable
  - What is the difference between clicking here or clicking there?

- Do
  - Be descriptive
    - Link several words or a phrase, not just one or two words
    - Use "title" attribute to elaborate
- Do Not
  - Lie
  - "Click Here"

## Common HTML5 Elements - Text Level Semantics

- `a`
- `span`
- `br`

## span element

The `span` element is a cousin to the `div` element -- in that it is used primarily for styling purposes, except that it is geared towards "inline" content.

Example 2.7 - span element - Example 2.7 (Without Styles)<div class="citation"><span class="author">Berners‐Lee, Tim</span>. <span class="title">We Need a Magna Carta for the Internet</span><span class="journal">New Perspectives Quarterly</span> 31.3 (2014): 39-41. Web.<br/><a href="https://harvard.instructure.com/courses/8246/files/folder/readings?preview=1564950" title="We Need a Magna Carta for the Internet by Tim Berners-Lee">View PDF</a></div>.citation .journal { font-style: italic; } .citation span.title::before { content: '"';} .citation span.title::after { content: '." ';}

       <span class="title">We Need a Magna Carta for the Internet   </span>
       <span class="journal">New Perspectives Quarterly   </span>31.3 (2014): 39-41. Web.

     </div>

In `style` element (`<style>`) within `head` element:

    .citation .journal { font-style: italic; }
    .citation span.title::before { content: '"';}
    .citation span.title::after { content: '." ';}

## Line Breaks and white space characters (br element)

Since "white space" characters are ignored in rendering HTML, the `br` element is used for explicit line breaks.

Examples below are from the first part of Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

     <p>Listen, my children, and you shall hear
       <br/>

       <br/>
    On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
       <br/>
    Hardly a man is now alive
       <br/>

     </p>
     <p style="background-color: #ffc">...except in the "pre" (preformatted) element:
     </p>
     <pre>Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year. </pre>

Using br for line breaks:

Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

Line breaks and spaces in HTML code don't render...(exception below):

Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year.

...except in the "pre" (preformatted) element:

    Listen, my children, and you shall hear
        Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
    On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:
        Hardly a man is now alive
    Who remembers that famous day and year.

You can use a non-breaking space (&#160; or &nbsp; character entities) for spaces that won't be collapsed:

    <p style="background-color: #ffc">You can use a non-breaking space (&amp;#160; or &amp;nbsp; character entities):</p>
    <p>
    Listen, my children, and you shall hear<br/>
    &#160;&#160;&#160;Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,<br/>
    On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five:<br/>
    &#160;&#160;&#160;Hardly a man is now alive<br/>
    Who remembers that famous day and year.
    </p>

## Common HTML5 Elements - Embedded content

- `img` element
- Key attributes
  - `src`
  - `alt`

### img element

HTML documents do not contain the images themselves, but merely contain references to the images to be displayed. Common image file types are:

- GIF, Graphics Interchange Format, ".gif"
- JPEG, Joint Photographic Experts Group, ".jpg", ".jpeg"
- PNG, Portable Network Graphics, ".png"

Example 2.9 - img element - Example 2.9<img src="https://cscie12.dce.harvard.edu/images/harvard-extension-school-shield.png" alt="Harvard University Extension School Shield" height="330" width="287"/>

     <img src="https://cscie12.dce.harvard.edu/images/harvard-extension-school-shield.png" alt="Harvard University Extension School Shield" height="330" width="287"/>

Example 2.10 - 'img' element with an anchor - Example 2.10<a href="https://extension.harvard.edu/"><img src="https://cscie12.dce.harvard.edu/images/harvard-extension-school-shield.png" alt="Harvard University Extension School Shield" height="330" width="287"/></a>

     </a>

## Accessibility Principle: Provide text alternatives for non-text content.

The `alt` attribute is used to specify a short text alternative when using the `img` element.

Accessibility essentials:

- W3C Web Accessibility Initiative
  The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) develops strategies, guidelines, and resources to help make the Web accessible to people with disabilities.
- Accessibility - W3C
  The first place to start for a short introduction to Web accessibility.
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at a Glance.

The power of the Web is in its universality.
Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.
Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web

## Section-level elements

HTML5 defines elements that can be used to represent sections:

- `body` - represents the content of the document
- `h1`, `h2`, `h3`, `h4`, `h5`, `h6` - headings for sections
- New section-level elements in HTML5
  - `main` - represents the main content on the page
  - `header` - represents a group of introductory or navigational aids
  - `footer` - represents a footer for its section
  - `nav` - represents a section with navigation links
  - `aside` - tangentially related (analagous to a sidebar for printed material)
  - `article` - represents a self-contained composition within a document
  - `section` - a generic section of a document

See: Usage Summary for Section Elements

## Parts of a Page

- `body`
- `header`
- `footer`
