LAB.html by JAD in NYC who is partners with JAD in Chicago


Hi everyone ... Mr. Bergen asked me to give you several examples of how to program "questions and answers" in HTML ... this was the ONE thing I learned well in CP6 over the last two years, so here goes

Let us say that you have 3 questions about the vocabulary word "nothing."

Question 1: Name a 7 letter word that that does not mean much
Answer: nothing

Question 2: What do the words nada, rien and have in common?
Answer: nothing

Question 3: What is one of the definitions of "nothing" shared by the Web site of http://www.dictionary.com? Answer (from the Web site above):
1 Something that has no existence.
2 Something that has no quantitative value; zero: a score of two to nothing.
3 One that has no substance or importance; a nonentity: "A nothing is a dreadful thing to hold onto"(Edna O'Brien)


Okay, that was one way to do it, but that is boring! I will now show you a better way using the command #marker


When you want to put a marker in your Web page you use the command of:
<a name="marker">
with no pound sign # just like you see above. You can do this with any word you want. Here is another example:
<a name="johnydamon">
Notice how I used NO SPACES in writing Johny Damon and all lowercase!

Now you can create LINKS to that location in the Web page via the standard command of A HREF except now you use #marker or #johnydamon

Here are some examples

Click <a href="#marker>here</a> to jump to the section in this document called marker
or perhaps
Click <a href="#johnydamon>here</a> to jump to the section in this document called johnydamon

Got it? I hope so. But this is hard so it may take you a while. It has taken me 3 years! Now the only other thing you need before I show you the example is to know how to add a "chunk of vertical white space" to your Web page


Look at this command, which some of you know.
<p>&nbsp;
Do you see how it adds white space between this line and the next one when used repeatedly?
NYC is a better city than Chicago.

 

 

 

 

Chicago is a better city than NYC.
Each instance of <p>&nbsp; creates one line of white space. You will need to understand this as you see my finished QUESTION and ANSWER example below!
