Now in the third example we Some different things...you might have shown that at the starting of some kind of artical or story there is always at the begining of paragraph usually FIRST CHARACTER is bigger than the others...but how it works...let's see it.

Now in the forth example we are moving towards using CSS files which mean cascading style sheet....through this css file you can change your complete look of HTML web page. For this we have two files (.css) file and our (.html) file in which we link our css file....let's see how?
| Example:4 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
HTML FILE
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CSS FILE H1 { text-align: Center; font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: magenta; } H2.archery { font-family: Blackadder ITC; color: lime; } H2.arts { font-family: French Script MT; color: aqua;} H2.horseback { font-family: Bradley Hand ITC; color: olive } H2.hiking { font-family: Comic Sans MS;color:teal } H2.campfire { font-family: French Script MT; color: orange; } |
Now in our last example you will see how FRAMESET tag divide our webpage into no of parts etc...
| Example:5 |
|---|
<html> <head> <title>Frameset Example</title> <Frameset cols="50%,50%"> <Frameset rows="34%,33%,33%"> <frame src="Audi-R-Zero-Concept_2.jpg"> <frame src="Background.jpg"> <frame src="Field.jpg"></frameset> <Frameset rows="34%,33%,33%"> <frame src="Background.jpg"> <frame src="Audi-R-Zero-Concept_2.jpg"> <frame src="Field.jpg"></frameset> </frameset> </head> </title> |
