Creating html page in javascript

Getting started with the web

Getting started with the web is a concise series introducing you to the practicalities of web development. You’ll set up the tools you need to construct a simple webpage and publish your own simple code.

The story of your first website

It’s a lot of work to create a professional website, so if you’re new to web development, we encourage you to start small. You won’t build another Facebook right away, but it’s not hard to make your own simple website online, so we’ll start there.

Guides

By working through the articles listed below, you will go from nothing to getting your first webpage online. Let’s begin our journey!

When it comes to tools for building a website, there’s a lot to pick from. If you’re just starting, you might be confused by the array of code editors, frameworks, and testing tools out there. In this article, we will show you step-by-step how to install the software you need to begin some basic web development.

Before you start writing the code for your website, you should plan it first. What information are you showcasing? What fonts and colors are you using? Here we’ll outline a simple method that you can follow to plan out your site’s content and design.

A website consists of many files: text content, code, stylesheets, media content, and so on. When you’re building a website, you need to assemble these files into a sensible structure and make sure they can talk to one another. This article explains how to set up a sensible file structure for your website and what issues you should be aware of.

HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is the code that you use to structure your web content and give it meaning and purpose. For example, is my content a set of paragraphs or a list of bullet points? Do I have images inserted on my page? Do I have a data table? Without overwhelming you, this article will provide enough information to make you familiar with HTML.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the code that you use to style your website. For example, do you want the text to be black or red? Where should content be drawn on the screen? What background images and colors should be used to decorate your website? In this article, we’ll take you through what you need to get started.

JavaScript is the programming language that you use to add interactive features to your website. Some examples could be games, things that happen when buttons are pressed or data is entered in forms, dynamic styling effects, animation, and much more. In this article, we’ll give you an idea of what is possible with this exciting language, and how to get started.

Once you have finished writing the code and organizing the files that make up your website, you need to put it all online so people can find it. This article describes how to get your simple sample code online with minimum effort.

When you access your favorite website, a lot of complicated things happen in the background that you may not know about. Here we will outline what happens when you view a webpage on your computer.

Create a Basic Webpage with CSS and JavaScript

This article was originally published on programmingliftoff.com as Create a Basic Webpage with CSS and JavaScript. Note: If you already have your website and just need to upload it to GitHub and enable GitHub Pages, read Upload a Website to GitHub Pages Prefer to watch this tutorial instead of reading it? Click here to watch it on YouTube. Tired of creating boring HTML pages without style? Then it’s time to add some CSS and JavaScript to liven up your webpage! In this tutorial we will create a website with a basic index.html file and add some CSS and JavaScript files to make it more exciting. Then we will upload the webpage to GitHub as a GitHub Pages website! Note that the methods shown in this tutorial to add CSS and JavaScript files in a webpage are not specific to GitHub Pages. These methods will work with any website and any host (GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, etc. ). Without further ado, let’s get started! Start by opening your favorite text editor and creating a new folder (you can name the folder anything you like). In that folder, create a file named index.html. Add the following code to index.html:

    My webpage!   Hello, World!  id='date'>   

Adding JavaScript to Our Webpage

Next we will learn how to import JavaScript code from a separate file into ‘index.html’. Create a folder named ‘javascript’. Inside that folder, create a file named ‘index.js’. Inside this JavaScript file, add the following line:

document.getElementById('date').innerHTML = new Date().toDateString(); 

 async src="./javascript/index.js"> 

Now save the files and refresh your browser. You should see the current date printed bellow ‘Hello, World!’. So how is this working? Take another look at the JavaScript we added. As you can see, it gets the element with id ‘date’ (thats the

tag in our webpage), and sets the text inside it to a new Date() object that is converted into a more readable string. Then we added a tag in the ‘index.html’ page to load this JavaScript code in our webpage. We set the src attribute of the tag to «./javascript/index.js». This tells the browser to load the file ‘index.js’, which is located in the ‘javascript’ folder. This happens asynchronously and then the JavaScript code is executed, updating our web page almost instantly! Great, now that we’ve added some JavaScript, lets add some CSS.

Adding CSS to Our Webpage

First create a folder named ‘styles’. Inside this folder, create a file named ‘styles.css’. Type or paste the following code into ‘styles.css’:

body  text-align: center; background-color: #f0e8c5; > 

Now go back to the ‘index.html’ file and add the following tag inside the tag (right above the tag we added in the last section):

 rel="stylesheet" href="styles/styles.css" /> 

Now refresh the ‘index.html’ page in your browser. Sweet! We’ve successfully added styles to the webpage! Looking at the code we added to ‘styles.css’, you can see that we centered the text and added a light-tan background color to the body of the webpage. Then we added a tag with the attribute rel=»stylesheet» to ‘index.html’. This tells the browser that we will be loading CSS styles from a separate file. We also added the attribute href=»styles/styles.css» . This tells the browser that the styles we want to add are located in the ‘styles.css’ file, which is in the ‘styles’ folder. Awesome! Now that we’ve added JavaScript and CSS to our webpage, let’s overdo it and add some image with some sweet styles!

Add some sweet CSS styles!

    My webpage!  rel="stylesheet" href="styles/styles.css" />  async src="./javascript/index.js">   Hello, World!  id='date'>  class="image-section">  class="section-style">  src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/400x200" alt="" /> A random image courtesy of unsplash.com.   class="section-style">  src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/400x200" alt="" /> A random image courtesy of unsplash.com.    class="image-section">  class="section-style">  src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/400x200" alt="" /> A random image courtesy of unsplash.com.   class="section-style">  src="https://source.unsplash.com/random/400x200" alt="" /> A random image courtesy of unsplash.com.     

body  text-align: center; background-color: #f0e8c5; > div  margin-top: 15px; > .image-section  display: flex; justify-content: center; > .section-style  margin-right: 25px; margin-left: 25px; background-color: white; > 

Now refresh your webpage. Nice! We have a sweet webpage with images from unsplash.com! Every time you refresh the page you will see a new random image. Pretty cool, right?! If you had any trouble, watch the video tutorial on YouTube.

Next Steps: Uploading the Website to GitHub Pages

Ok, now that we’ve had our fun creating our site locally, let’s publish it to the internet for free using GitHub Pages. Head on over to Upload a Website to GitHub Pages to learn how to upload your site to GitHub Pages. Thanks for reading!
