HTML Lists 1. Unordered Lists

·           An unordered list is a list of items. The list items are marked with bullets (typically small black circles).
·           An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.
<ul>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ul>

Here is how it looks in a browser:

·         Coffee

·         Milk

Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.

Background

The background attribute specifies a background-image for an HTML page. The value of this attribute is the URL of the image you want to use. If the image is smaller than the browser window, the image will repeat itself until it fills the entire browser window.

<body background="clouds.gif">
<body background="http://www. schoolnet.com/clouds.gif">

The URL can be relative (as in the first line above) or absolute (as in the second line above).
When using a background image, consider the following:

·         Will the background image increase the loading time too much? 

·         Will the background image look good with other images on the page? 

·         Will the background image look good with the text colors on the page? 

·         Will the background image look good when it is repeated on the page? 

·         Will the background image take away the focus from the text?

HTML Backgrounds

A good background can make a Web site look really great.

Backgrounds

The <body> tag has two attributes where you can specify backgrounds. The background can be a color or an image.

Bgcolor

The bgcolor attribute specifies a background-color for an HTML page. The value of this attribute can be a hexadecimal number, an RGB value, or a color name:

<body bgcolor="#000000">
<body bgcolor="rgb(0,0,0)">
<body bgcolor="black">

The lines above all set the background-color to black.
