HTML linkd

• Links are created using the element.
• The element uses the href attribute to indicate the page you are linking to.
• If you are linking to a page within your own site, it is best to use relative links rather than qualified URLs.
• You can create links to open email programs with an email address in the “to” field.
• You can use the id attribute to target elements within a page that can be linked to.

HTML layout

• elements are often used as containing elements to group together sections of a page.
• Browsers display pages in normal flow unless you specify relative, absolute, or fixed positioning.
• The float property moves content to the left or right of the page and can be used to create multi-column layouts. (Floated items require a defined width.)
• Pages can be fixed width or liquid (stretchy) layouts.
• Designers keep pages within 960-1000 pixels wide, and indicate what the site is about within the top 600 pixels (to demonstrate its relevance without scrolling).
• Grids help create professional and flexible designs.
• CSS Frameworks provide rules for common tasks.
• You can include multiple CSS files in one page.

JavaScript fucntion

JavaScript provides functions similar to most of the scripting and programming languages.

In JavaScript, a function allows you to define a block of code, give it a name and then execute it as many times as you want.

A JavaScript function can be defined using function keyword.

//defining a function
function <function-name>()
{
    // code to be executed
};

//calling a function
<function-name>();

The following example shows how to define and call a function in JavaScript.

function ShowMessage() {
    alert("Hello World!");
}

ShowMessage();
