Link & Script Tags

       No comments

  • The <link> and <script> tags are essential elements within an HTML document's <head> section. 
  • They serve various purposes, like linking external stylesheets or including JavaScript files.

<link> Tag

  • The <link> tag is commonly used to link external stylesheets to an HTML document. It's a self-closing tag, meaning it doesn't require a closing tag.


<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">

<script> Tag

  • The <script> tag is used to include JavaScript code or files in an HTML document. Unlike the <link> tag, the <script> tag must be closed with a </script> tag.

<script src="script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


Definition Lists

       No comments

  •  A Definition List in HTML is used to represent a list of terms along with their corresponding descriptions or definitions. The Definition List is created using the <dl> (Definition List) element, which wraps around one or more pairs of <dt> (Definition Term) and <dd> (Definition Description) elements.

Definition List Example

Here's a simple example to illustrate:

  <h1>HTML Definition List</h1>
  <dl>
    <dt>HTML</dt>
    <dd>HyperText Markup Language: The standard language for creating web pages.</dd>

    <dt>CSS</dt>
    <dd>Cascading Style Sheets: A stylesheet language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in HTML.</dd>

    <dt>JavaScript</dt>
    <dd>A programming language commonly used in web development to add interactive features.</dd>
  </dl>

Understanding the example

In this example:

  • <dl> is the container for the list.
  • <dt> defines the terms that you want to explain.
  • <dd> contains the definitions or explanations for the terms.
