Question
Adding Comments to an HTML Document
Note: To complete this assignment, you will be required to use the Data Files for Students. Visit www.cengage.com/ct/studentdownload for detailed
instructions or contact your instructor for information about accessing the required files.
Instructions: Open your HTML editor and then open the extend01.html file provided in the Data Files for Students. Add the HTML tags, text, indents,
blank lines, and comments as instructed. Save the page as ski01.html in the same location and view it in a browser. Figure 1–51a shows the completed
HTML document in Notepad++ and Figure 1–51b shows the completed webpage in a browser.
Perform the following tasks:
1. HTML comments are inserted into a webpage using special tags with the following syntax:
<!-- comment goes here -->
A comment may be placed anywhere in the HTML document after the opening <!DOCTYPE
html> statement and may be one or more lines long as needed. The only requirement is
that the comment opens with the same four characters <!--, and ends with the same three
characters, -->. In ski01.html, enter a comment after the opening <!DOCTYPE html>
declaration statement that includes your name and the current date as shown in Figure 1–51a.
2. Enter the remaining tags and text shown in Figure 1–51a without any indents or blank lines.
Save the file and open it in a browser. In a Word document named ski01.docx, answer these questions:
a. How do HTML comments appear on the webpage when it is opened in a browser?
b. How does the content within the <p> … </p> tags appear in a browser?
3. Return to your HTML editor and add blank lines and indents as shown in Figure 1–51a. Save
the HTML file and refresh it in your browser to see the changes. In your Word document, answer these questions:
a. What is the purpose of adding extra lines and indents in the HTML editor?
b. How do the extra lines and indents change the way the webpage appears in the browser?
4. Add <p>, </p>, and <br> tags as shown in Figure 1–51a so that the content is rendered in the
browser on multiple lines. In your Word document, answer these questions:
a. What is the purpose of adding the <p> and </p> tags?
b. What is the purpose of adding the <br> tags?
5. Save the HTML file and refresh it in your browser to see the changes. Compare Figure 1–51a
and Figure 1–51b. In your Word document, identify how the following two lines use white space
in the HTML editor and compare that to how the browser reads and displays the same line.
a. “Our ski and snowboard…”
b. “Phone: 1-800…”
6. Submit your assignment in the format specified by your instructor.
7. What would happen if webpage developers did not use comments, indents, and white space?
Identify a potential problem associated with each.
