Learning objective

Develop a web page by utilizing HTML in the content layer. Candidates should be capable of: Creating the content layer of a web page, including placing suitable elements in the head section such as: a page title for browser display, linking external stylesheets with the correct hierarchy using relative file paths, and including metatags with appropriate attributes like charset, name attributes (description, keywords, author, viewport), content attributes, and default target windows. In the body section, candidates should insert appropriate content, including a table with headers, rows, and data, and use relevant table attributes to cater to audience needs, such as spanning cells across multiple rows or columns, setting table and cell sizes in pixels or percentages, and applying styles to tables. Candidates should also insert suitable objects into the web page, including text, images, sound clips, and videos (with display controls, removal of controls, and autoplay options), adjusting image or video size and aspect ratio, and applying alternate text. The use of the <div> tag for styling and class application is required, as well as applying tags to text for predefined styles (h1, h2, h3, p, li) and applying classes and styles to elements, including lists (ordered and unordered). Candidates should create bookmarks within the web page using an id attribute and establish hyperlinks from text and images to: bookmarks on the same page, other locally stored web pages, websites via URL, email addresses, and specified locations (same window, new window, or named window). Candidates should understand: the role of HTML in the content layer, the purpose of the head and body sections, the use of tables for structuring elements, the function of metatags (defining charset, keywords for search engines, author, description, viewport for device display), the function of hyperlinks, the concept of bookmarks and methods for creating them, and the distinction between relative and absolute file paths, including the reason for avoiding absolute file paths for locally saved hyperlinks.
