As a marketing strategy for increasing a site's relevance, SEO considers how search algorithms work and what people search for. SEO efforts may involve a site's coding, presentation, and structure, as well as fixing problems that could prevent search engine indexing programs from fully spidering a site. Another class of techniques, known as black hat SEO or spamdexing, use methods such as link farms and keyword stuffing that tend to harm search engine user experience. Search engines look for sites that employ these techniques and may remove them from their indices.

The initialism "SEO" can also refer to "search engine optimizers", terms adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house. Search engine optimizers may offer SEO as a stand-alone service or as a part of a broader marketing campaign. Because effective SEO may require changes to the HTML source code of a site, SEO tactics may be incorporated into web site development and design. The term "search engine friendly" may be used to describe web site designs, menus, content management systems, URLs, and shopping carts that are easy to optimize.

History

Webmasters and content providers began optimizing sites for search engines in the mid-1990s, as the first search engines were cataloging the early Web. Initially, all a webmaster needed to do was submit a page, or URL, to the various engines which would send a spider to "crawl" that page, extract links to other pages from it, and return information found on the page to be indexed. The process involves a search engine spider downloading a page and storing it on the search engine's own server, where a second program, known as an indexer, extracts various information about the page, such as the words it contains and where these are located, as well as any weight for specific words and all links the page contains, which are then placed into a scheduler for crawling at a later date.

Site owners started to recognize the value of having their sites highly ranked and visible in search engine results. They also recognised that the higher their site ranking the more people would click on the website. According to industry analyst Danny Sullivan, the earliest known use of the phrase search engine optimization was a spam message posted on Usenet on July 26, 1997.

Early versions of search algorithms relied on webmaster-provided information such as the keyword meta tag, or index files in engines like ALIWEB. Meta tags provided a guide to each page's content. But using meta data to index pages was found to be less than reliable because the webmaster's account of keywords in the meta tag were not truly relevant to the site's actual keywords. Inaccurate, incomplete, and inconsistent data in meta tags caused pages to rank for irrelevant searches. Web content providers also manipulated a number of attributes within the HTML source of a page in an attempt to rank well in search engines.

By relying so much on factors exclusively within a webmaster's control, early search engines suffered from abuse and ranking manipulation. To provide better results to their users, search engines had to adapt to ensure their results pages showed the most relevant search results, rather than unrelated pages stuffed with numerous keywords by unscrupulous webmasters. Since the success and popularity of a search engine is determined by its ability to produce the most relevant results to any given search allowing those results to be false would turn users to find other search sources. Search engines responded by developing more complex ranking algorithms, taking into account additional factors that were more difficult for webmasters to manipulate.

Graduate students at Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey Brin developed "backrub", a search engine that relied on a mathematical algorithm to rate the prominence of web pages. The number calculated by the algorithm, PageRank, is a function of the quantity and strength of inbound links. PageRank estimates the likelihood that a given page will be reached by a web user who randomly surfs the web, and follows links from one page to another. In effect, this means that some links are stronger than others, as a higher PageRank page is more likely to be reached by the random surfer.

Page and Brin founded Google in 1998. Google attracted a loyal following among the growing number of Internet users, who liked its simple design. Off-page factors such as PageRank and hyperlink analysis were considered, as well as on-page factors, to enable Google to avoid the kind of manipulation seen in search engines that only considered on-page factors for their rankings. Although PageRank was more difficult to game, webmasters had already developed link building tools and schemes to influence the Inktomi search engine, and these methods proved similarly applicable to gaining PageRank. Many sites focused on exchanging, buying, and selling links, often on a massive scale. Some of these schemes, or link farms, involved the creation of thousands of sites for the sole purpose of link spamming. In recent years major search engines have begun to rely more heavily on off-web factors such as the age, sex, location, and search history of people conducting searches in order to further refine results.

By 2007, search engines had incorporated a wide range of undisclosed factors in their ranking algorithms to reduce the impact of link manipulation. Google says it ranks sites using more than 200 different signals. The three leading search engines, Google, Yahoo and Microsoft's Live Search, do not disclose the algorithms they use to rank pages. Notable SEOs, such as Rand Fishkin, Barry Schwartz, Aaron Wall and Jill Whalen, have studied different approaches to search engine optimization, and have published their opinions in online forums and blogs. SEO practitioners may also study patents held by various search engines to gain insight into the algorithms.

Webmasters and search engines

By 1997 search engines recognized that webmasters were making efforts to rank well in their search engines, and that some webmasters were even manipulating their rankings in search results by stuffing pages with excessive or irrelevant keywords. Early search engines, such as Infoseek, adjusted their algorithms in an effort to prevent webmasters from manipulating rankings.

Due to the high marketing value of targeted search results, there is potential for an adversarial relationship between search engines and SEOs. In 2005, an annual conference, AIRWeb, Adversarial Information Retrieval on the Web, was created to discuss and minimize the damaging effects of aggressive web content providers.

SEO companies that employ overly aggressive techniques can get their client websites banned from the search results. In 2005, the Wall Street Journal reported on a company, Traffic Power, which allegedly used high-risk techniques and failed to disclose those risks to its clients. Wired magazine reported that the same company sued blogger Aaron Wall for writing about the ban. Google's Matt Cutts later confirmed that Google did in fact ban Traffic Power and some of its clients.

Some search engines have also reached out to the SEO industry, and are frequent sponsors and guests at SEO conferences, chats, and seminars. In fact, with the advent of paid inclusion, some search engines now have a vested interest in the health of the optimization community. Major search engines provide information and guidelines to help with site optimization. Google has a Sitemaps program to help webmasters learn if Google is having any problems indexing their website and also provides data on Google traffic to the website. Yahoo! Site Explorer provides a way for webmasters to submit URLs, determine how many pages are in the Yahoo! index and view link information.

Getting indexed

The leading search engines, Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft, use crawlers to find pages for their algorithmic search results. Pages that are linked from other search engine indexed pages do not need to be submitted because they are found automatically. Some search engines, notably Yahoo!, operate a paid submission service that guarantee crawling for either a set fee or cost per click. Such programs usually guarantee inclusion in the database, but do not guarantee specific ranking within the search results. Yahoo's paid inclusion program has drawn criticism from advertisers and competitors. Two major directories, the Yahoo Directory and the Open Directory Project both require manual submission and human editorial review. Google offers Google Webmaster Tools, for which an XML Sitemap feed can be created and submitted for free to ensure that all pages are found, especially pages that aren't discoverable by automatically following links.

Search engine crawlers may look at a number of different factors when crawling a site. Not every page is indexed by the search engines. Distance of pages from the root directory of a site may also be a factor in whether or not pages get crawled.

Preventing indexing

Main article: Robots Exclusion Standard

To avoid undesirable content in the search indexes, webmasters can instruct spiders not to crawl certain files or directories through the standard robots.txt file in the root directory of the domain. Additionally, a page can be explicitly excluded from a search engine's database by using a meta tag specific to robots. When a search engine visits a site, the robots.txt located in the root directory is the first file crawled. The robots.txt file is then parsed, and will instruct the robot as to which pages are not to be crawled. As a search engine crawler may keep a cached copy of this file, it may on occasion crawl pages a webmaster does not wish crawled. Pages typically prevented from being crawled include login specific pages such as shopping carts and user-specific content such as search results from internal searches. In March 2007, Google warned webmasters that they should prevent indexing of internal search results because those pages are considered search spam.

White hat versus black hat

SEO techniques are classified by some into two broad categories: techniques that search engines recommend as part of good design and those techniques that search engines do not approve of and attempt to minimize the effect of, referred to as spamdexing. Industry commentators have classified these methods, and the practitioners who employ them, as either white hat SEO, or black hat SEO. White hats tend to produce results that last a long time, whereas black hats anticipate that their sites may eventually be banned either temporarily or permanently once the search engines discover what they are doing.

An SEO technique is considered white hat if it conforms to the search engines' guidelines and involves no deception. As the search engine guidelines are not written as a series of rules or commandments, this is an important distinction to note. White hat SEO is not just about following guidelines, but is about ensuring that the content a search engine indexes and subsequently ranks is the same content a user will see.

White hat advice is generally summed up as creating content for users, not for search engines, and then making that content easily accessible to the spiders, rather than attempting to trick the algorithm from its intended purpose. White hat SEO is in many ways similar to web development that promotes accessibility, although the two are not identical.

Black hat SEO attempts to improve rankings in ways that are disapproved of by the search engines, or involve deception. One black hat technique uses text that is hidden, either as text colored similar to the background, in an invisible div, or positioned off screen. Another method gives a different page depending on whether the page is being requested by a human visitor or a search engine, a technique known as cloaking.

Search engines may penalize sites they discover using black hat methods, either by reducing their rankings or eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. Such penalties can be applied either automatically by the search engines' algorithms, or by a manual site review.

One infamous example was the February 2006 Google removal of both BMW Germany and Ricoh Germany for use of deceptive practices. Both companies, however, quickly apologized, fixed the offending pages, and were restored to Google's list.

As a marketing strategy

Eye tracking studies have shown that searchers scan a search results page from top to bottom and left to right (for left to right languages), looking for a relevant result. Placement at or near the top of the rankings therefore increases the number of searchers who will visit a site. However, more search engine referrals does not guarantee more sales. SEO is not necessarily an appropriate strategy for every website, and other Internet marketing strategies can be much more effective, depending on the site operator's goals. A successful Internet marketing campaign may drive organic traffic to web pages, but it also may involve the use of paid advertising on search engines and other pages, building high quality web pages to engage and persuade, addressing technical issues that may keep search engines from crawling and indexing those sites, setting up analytics programs to enable site owners to measure their successes, and improving a site's conversion rate.

SEO may generate a return on investment. However, search engines are not paid for organic search traffic, their algorithms change, and there are no guarantees of continued referrals. Due to this lack of guarantees and certainty, a business that relies heavily on search engine traffic can suffer major losses if the search engines stop sending visitors. It is considered wise business practice for website operators to liberate themselves from dependence on search engine traffic. A top-ranked SEO blog Seomoz.org has reported, "Search marketers, in a twist of irony, receive a very small share of their traffic from search engines." Instead, their main sources of traffic are links from other websites.

International markets

A Baidu search results page

The search engines' market shares vary from market to market, as does competition. In 2003, Danny Sullivan stated that Google represented about 75% of all searches. In markets outside the United States, Google's share is often larger, and Google remains the dominant search engine worldwide as of 2007. As of 2006, Google held about 40% of the market in the United States, but Google had an 85-90% market share in Germany. While there were hundreds of SEO firms in the US at that time, there were only about five in Germany.^[44]

In Russia the situation is reversed. Local search engine Yandex controls 50% of the paid advertising revenue, while Google has less than 9%. In China, Baidu continues to lead in market share, although Google has been gaining share as of 2007.

Successful search optimization for international markets may require professional translation of web pages, registration of a domain name with a top level domain in the target market, and web hosting that provides a local IP address. Otherwise, the fundamental elements of search optimization are essentially the same, regardless of language.^[44]

Legal precedents

On October 17, 2002, SearchKing filed suit in the United States District Court, Western District of Oklahoma, against the search engine Google. SearchKing's claim was that Google's tactics to prevent spamdexing constituted a tortious interference with contractual relations. On May 27, 2003, the court granted Google's motion to dismiss the complaint because SearchKing "failed to state a claim upon which relief may be granted."

In March 2006, KinderStart filed a lawsuit against Google over search engine rankings. Kinderstart's web site was removed from Google's index prior to the lawsuit and the amount of traffic to the site dropped by 70%. On March 16, 2007 the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (San Jose Division) dismissed KinderStart's complaint without leave to amend, and partially granted Google's motion for Rule 11 sanctions against KinderStart's attorney, requiring him to pay part of Google's legal expenses.

Probably Hyperlinking is one of the most commonly seen thing to navigate to other page.

But to write this ppost here i thanks to one of mine Orkut friends querry.

For such querries i am always welcome.. So lets get on with example

The label, text, and textarea controls can dispatch a link event when the user selects a hyperlink in the Htmltext property.

About link Event :

link : Dispatched when a user clicks a hyperlink in an HTML-enabled text field, where the URL begins with "event:".

To generate the link event, prefix the hyperlink destination with event:

 As the following example shows

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"

    borderStyle="solid"

    backgroundGradientColors="[#FFFFFF, #FFFFFF]">

    <mx:Script>

        <![CDATA[

            import flash.events.TextEvent;

            public function linkHandler(event:TextEvent):void {

                myLabel.text="link occured.";

                // Open the link in a new window.

                navigateToURL(new URLRequest(event.text), '_blank');

            }

        ]]>

    </mx:Script>

    <mx:Label selectable="true" link="linkHandler(event);">

        <mx:htmlText><![CDATA[<a href='event:http://www.adobe.com'>Adobe</a>]]></mx:htmlText>

    </mx:Label> 

    <mx:TextArea id="myLabel"/>

</mx:Application>

(Achtung!: Alle Elemente finden Sie auf der Seite: XHTML-Referenz)

REFERENZIERUNG:

HTML-Tag <a> ... </a> = Anker, Hyperlink, anchor

Das <a>-Tag – auch als Anker-Tag (eng. anchor) bezeichnet – wird für gewöhnlich zusammen mit dem href-Attribut benutzt, um einen Hyperlink, kurz auch als „Link“ bezeichnet, zu erzeugen. Durch einen einfachen Klick mit einer Maus oder durch einen Tastaturbefehl kann der Besucher von einer Seite auf eine andere Seite wechseln oder auch innerhalb der Seite zu einem Sprungziel navigieren.

Beispiel 1 - Hyperlink: (in den Editor eingeben)

<p><a href="http://sura1.wordpress.com">
Das ist die Webseite von Franz Sadjak</a>
</p>

Ergebnis:

Das ist die Webseite von Franz Sadjak

Beispiel 2 – Anker innerhalb einer Webseite: (in den Editor eingeben)

Sprungziele oder Anker innerhalb einer HTML-Seite brauchen ein eindeutig identifizierbares Ziel, das durch ein id-Attribut erzeugt wird.

<p><a href="#Zum Seitenanfang">Zum Seitenanfang</a>

Ergebnis:

Zum Seitenanfang

HTML-Tag <area>…</area>=verweis-sensitive Grafiken

definieren

Verweis-sensitive Grafiken sind Grafiken, in denen der Anwender mit der Maus auf ein Detail klicken kann. Daraufhin wird ein Verweis ausgeführt. Auf diese Weise kann der Anwender in einigen Fällen wesentlich intuitiver und schneller zu Information gelangen als durch lange verbale Verweislisten.

Beispiel und weitere Informationen:

http://de.selfhtml.org/html/grafiken/verweis_sensitive.htm#definieren

HTML-Tag <base> ... </base> = Linkbasis

Sie können innerhalb einer HTML-Datei, die Sie auf einem WWW-Server ablegen, nochmals deren internet-weit eindeutigen, genauen URI notieren. Ein Web-Browser, der diese Information ausliest, kann in Fehlersituationen besser auf verknüpfte oder referenzierte Dateien zugreifen.

Die Angabe der Dateibasis erfolgt im Dateikopf mit <base href= ... > und dem genauen URI der Datei (base = Basis, href = hyper reference = Hyper(text)-Referenz).

Beispiel:

Wenn nun in der Datei beispielsweise folgende Grafikreferenz steht:
<img src="/src/logo.gif">
... so ermittelt der WWW-Browser diese Grafik mit dem absoluten URI:
<img src="http://aktuell.de.selfhtml.org/src/logo.gif">.

Informationen: http://de.selfhtml.org/html/kopfdaten/basis.htm

HTML-Tag <img /> =Grafik, Bild, Image einfügen

Das <img>-Tag fügt eine Grafik oder ein fotografisches Bild direkt in den Textfluss oder zwischen andere Bilder ein. Der Einsatz des Tags bewirkt keinen Zeilenumbruch – <img> erzeugt ein Inlineelement. Das Tag kann in ein a-Element eingesetzt werden, um einen klickbaren Link zu erzeugen. Um alle vier Seiten wird dabei ein Rahmen dargestellt, um das Bild als Link zu kennzeichnen.

HTML-Tag <link /> = ein Link zu einem Dokument

Logische Beziehungen zu anderen Quellen: Hinweis für HTML-Einsteiger: Das hier beschriebene Element hat nichts mit normalen, anklickbaren Verweisen innerhalb einer HTML-Datei zu tun

Das <link>-Tag erzeugt eine Verbindung zwischen dem augenblicklich geöffneten Dokument und einem anderen, in irgendeiner Weise verwandten Dokument. Wenn z.B Cascading Stylesheets in einer .css-Datei gespeichert sind, wird das Dokument durch ein <link>-Tag mit der Stylesheetdatei verbunden.

Ada cara yang bisa digunakan untuk mengatur tampilan dari link pada sebuah halaman website, salah satunya adalah dengan menggunakan CSS atau Cascading Style Sheet, baik itu inyernal CSS maupun eksternal CSS. Dengan CSS ini ada tiga tampilan link yang dapat diatur yaitu tampilan saat pertama kali halaman web dibuka (a:link), setelah link diklik (a:visited) dan saat mouse pointer berada di atas link (a:hover).

Untuk mulai menggunakan internal CSS, pertama kali harus menambahkan tag <style> pada bagian HEAD (tag <head>) dari file HTML yang akan diatur tampilan link-nya. Jika menggunakan eksternal CSS maka diharuskan membuat sebuah file baru dengan ekstension .css. File ini bisa dipanggil dengan menggunakan tag <link> pada bagian HEAD. Sekadar catatan jika menggunakan internal CSS ini, maka tampilan link yang akan kena dari setting CSS-nya hanya link yang berada pada file HTML tersebut saja.

a:link

Pada css, tulisan "a:link" berfungsi untuk mengatur tampilan teks hyperlink pada saat pertama kali halaman web dibuka. Setting yang dapat dilakukan antara lain menentukan jenis huruf (font-family), ukuran huruf (font-size), warna huruf (color) dan lain-lainnya. Agar lebih jelas, dibawah ini adalah contoh penulisan CSS untuk link.

<style>
a:link { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma;
font-size:12;
font-weight:bold;
color:gold }
</style>

Dengan kode css di atas, teks yang dijadikan hyperlink, oleh browser akan ditampilkan dengan huruf Arial (font-family:arial), ukuran huruf 12, warna huruf emas (color:gold) dan tebal (font-weight:bold) seperti link ini.

a:visited

Setting ini berfungsi untuk mengatur tampilan link setelah link tersebut diklik. Setting yang sama pada a:link juga dapat diterapkan di sini. Biasanya pada sebuah halaman web, link baik itu setelah diklik atau belum di-set agar tampilannya selalu sama. Oleh karena itu, agar tampilan link sama, maka pada CSS ditulis seperti di bawah ini.

<style>
a:link, a:visited { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma;
font-size:12;
font-weight:bold;
color:gold }
</style>

Dengan kode CSS sepeti di atas maka tampilan link akan sama baik sebelum ataupun sesudah diklik.

a:hover

Setting ini berfungsi untuk mengatur tampilan hyperlink saat mouse berada di atasnya.

In part 1, I covered the steps for creating and customising the display and edit forms for a custom list on a single aspx page. I now want to combine the new item form for the custom list on the same aspx page and give the user a button to show the new item form and hide the edit form.

Step One: Add the New Item Form

We need to add the Data View Web Part for a New Item Form after the edit form.

1. Locate the end tag for the edit form: </WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart>.
2. Add a <br /> tag immediately after the close tag.
3. Insert a Data View.
4. Select the Customer Status list from the Datasource Library.
5. Hold CTRL and select the fields you want to add.
6. Click on the Insert Selected Fields As button and select New Item Form.

SharePoint will insert the new item form on the page. The forms on the page are now fully functional and the user can edit items in the grid and add items to the grid from the same page. However, the usability for this page is very poor. The user can select an item in the display grid and then enter the changes in the new form thinking they are editing the existing item (like an old password/new password screen) and when they save they accidently create a new record. There are other usability issues as well, but we can address them all by hiding the edit form when the new form is in use.

Step Two: Create Containers for the Forms

We have two forms on our screen that need to be identified from each other: the edit form and the new form. Those two forms also need to be hidden or shown depending on the situation. To accomplish this, I place each of the Web Parts with in a DIV.

1. Locate the start tag for the edit form: <WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart ....
2. Insert the following code BEFORE the start tag: <div id="EditForm" style="display: block">
3. Locate the end tag for the edit form: </WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart>
4. Add the following code AFTER the end tag: </div><!--close div#EditForm-->

With these four simple steps, I have created a container around the web part. Now we need to create the container around the new form. I have highlighted the subtle differences:

1. Locate the start tag for the new form: <WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart ....
2. Insert the following code BEFORE the start tag: <div id="NewForm" style="display: none">
3. Locate the end tag for the new form: </WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart>
4. Add the following code AFTER the end tag: </div><!--close div#NewForm-->

Note: Once you set the display attribut to "none", you will no longer be able to see the form in design view. If you need to make changes, you can edit the form in code view or temporarily change the display value to "block".

Step Three: Create A New Button

IMPORTANT: Make a backup copy of your page before proceeding with this next step. Sometimes when I add the extra row to the table, it causes the Web Part Connection to stop working.

Now that we have the forms inside of their own identifiable containers, we need a button for the user to click to trigger the JavaScript code.

1. Right-click in the top row of the display form and select Insert > New Row Above.
2. Select all of the cells in the new empty row and right-click and select Modify > Merge Cells.
3. Switch to code view and locate the <td> tags for the row (only one column now).
4. Add the following code in between the <td> tags: <input class="tbb" id="tbb" type="button" value="New"/>

The class and id attributes in the <input /> tag are optional; I use the class and id attributes in the <input /> tag to identify the button for my styling (tbb stands for tool bar button). We now have a nice shiny "New" button at the top of our display form.

Step Four: Make that Button Work

The New button we created in Step Three doesn't really do anything, so let's give it some power. 

1. Locate the <input /> tag.
2. Change code to look like this: <input class="tbb" id="tbb" type="button" value="New"  onclick="document.getElementById('EditExistingCodeForm').style.display ='none';document.getElementById('AddNewCodeForm').style.display ='block';"/> 

Okay, I know, I kind of surprised you with that one. Let's break the code down to see what it does:

<input class="tbb" id="tbb" type="button" value="New" 

There is nothing scary here, we're telling the HTML to create a button and label it "New".

onclick="document.getElementById('EditForm').style.display ='none'; document.getElementById('NewForm').style.display ='block'; "/>

When the button is clicked, the EditForm div's display attribute is set to "none" and the NewForm div's display attribute is set to "block". In other words, the edit form disappears and the new form appears. You now have a New button that, when clicked, hides the edit form and shows the new form so the user can enter new items into the list.

Step Five: Set the Focus

I found one issue with the current set up; when the user clicks the New button the focus remains on the button and the user has to move the mouse down to the form. Since we are designing with usability in mind, this is a definite no-no.

The code for setting the focus using JavaScript is:

 document.FORMNAME.ID.focus();"

First, we need to identify the name of the form. You can look around for it if you want but, I can save you some time and tell you that SharePoint creates one form for the whole page. The form is called "aspnetForm".

Secondly, we need to identify the field in the new form. If you click on the field in SharePoint Designer, and look at the code, you will see the following:

<SharePoint:FormField runat="server" id="ff1{$Pos}" ControlMode="New" FieldName="Title" __designer:bind="{ddwrt:DataBind('i',concat('ff1',$Pos),'Value','ValueChanged','ID',ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID)),'@Title')}" />

The only part of that code we are interested in is the id attribute (see how it get's easier to understand the code behind the site?). The only problem is that the id attribute contains a SharePoint variable. The value in the variable isn't defined until the server runs the page. So, I viewed the source of the page in the browser and located the same line of code:

<input name="ctl00$mainContent$g_0e261cef_df83_4297_aa14_312ac818785e$ff1_new$ctl00$ctl00$TextField" type="text" maxlength="255" id="ctl00_mainContent_g_0e261cef_df83_4297_aa14_312ac818785e_ff1_new_ctl00_ctl00_TextField" title="Counter" class="ms-long" />

If you are trying to locate this in the source of your page, follow these steps:

1. Preview the page in a browser.
2. View the source (in IE, right-click on the page an select View Source).
3. Press CTRL+F and search for the label. In our example, the label for the first field is called "Status:", so I searched for that.
4. The label will be contained with <td> tags. The next entry after the </td> tag will be field we are looking for. Since it is an text input box, the tag will be <input> and it will have an attribute of type="text". 

If you compare the code in SharePoint Designer with the code from the browser, you can see that the SharePoint code has been 'run' on the server and the result is the HTML tag for the field. We are interested in the id attribute only;

id="ctl00_mainContent_g_0e261cef_df83_4297_aa14_312ac818785e_ff1_new_ctl00_ctl00_TextField"

That is the id of the field we want to set the focus on. So now let's combine the formname and the id for the field and write the JavaScript:

 document.aspnetForm.ctl00_mainContent_g_0e261cef_df83_4297_aa14_312ac818785e_ff1_new_ctl00_ctl00_TextField.focus();

Now we need to add it to our New button:

<input class="tbb" id="tbb" type="button" value="New"  onclick="document.getElementById('EditExistingCodeForm').style.display ='none';document.getElementById('AddNewCodeForm').style.display ='block'; document.aspnetForm.ctl00_mainContent_g_0e261cef_df83_4297_aa14_312ac818785e_ff1_new_ctl00_ctl00_TextField.focus();"/>

You now have a New button that, when clicked, will hide the edit form, show the new form and set the focus to the first field. As you may have already guessed, being able to set the focus to a specific field is a valuable tool when designing your own web applications.

This concludes part 2 of my Web Application. The next step will be to create additional functionality for the page - adding a delete button, print button, anything else I can come up with to make the page more user friendly.

I've been adding JavaScript into my projects for a while now, and I've started to get a good feel for what I can and can't do in SharePoint. The following series of tips are very basic and can be accomplished by novice SharePoint designers with ease. If you have any questions, or suggestions to improve my rudimentary code, feel free to post a comment so everyone can learn from the discussions.

The application I am designing requires users to create 'codes' for use in drop-down lists. The codes are stored in a custom list which contains only two columns: Code Name (Title) and Active (checkbox). For this series of posts we are going to create a simple list of Customer Statuses. The web application stores Customer Data and the status field in the Customer Data is a lookup to the values in the Customer Status list. The users can therefore add or change codes the drop-down without having to fiddle with SharePoint. The logic used in these examples can be applied to almost any kind of custom list: employee lists, inventory lists, issue tracking lists etc.

I want one page where the user can see the current items in a list, edit the existing items, and create new items in the list. I realise that this can be accomplished by using the DispForm.aspx, NewForm.aspx, and EditForm.aspx but, I want to maintain only one form.

Note: I have started using my own custom masterpage and designing my aspx pages from scratch. I don't know if these instructions will be affected by placing the forms in an existing SharePoint page, for example - adding a display list to the NewForm.aspx page. I don't think that it will, but please let me know if it does.

Step One: Display the current contents of the list

Pre-requisite: Create a custom list and populate it with a couple of items.

The primary objective of the page I am creating is to show users the current items in the list, in our example I want to show the users which Customer Status codes already exist in the list. Let's start by creating a Multiple Item Data View Web Part and place it on the page. I'm pretty sure I've covered this in a previous topic but here's quick recap:

1. Click anywhere on the page, outside of any existing Web Parts, and insert a Data View.
2. Click on the Data View and then select the Customer Status list from the datasource library and then click Show Data.
3. Hold CTRL and select the fields you want to add.
4. Click on the Insert Selected Fields As button and select Multiple Item View.

The grid (table) will appear on the page and display the contents of the list.

Step Two: Add a an Edit Form

We want the users to be able to click on an item in the grid and be able to edit the item on the same page. Let's add a Single Item Form Data View.

1. Locate the end tag for the previous Web Part: </WebPartPages:DataFormWebPart>
2. Insert a <br /> (to create some space) after the end tag.
3. Insert a Data View after the <br /> tag.
4. Click on the Data View and then select the Customer Status list from the datasource library and then click Show Data
5. Hold CTRL and select the fields the user can edit
6. Click on the Insert Selected Fields As button and select Single Item Form.

The new form will appear on the page and show the first item in the Customer Status list.

Step Three: Connect the Forms

If you recall, from the previous step, we want the user to be able to click an item in the first grid and have that set the item that can be edited in the edit form. We are going to create a Web Part Connection.

1.  Right-click a label field, in the edit form we created in Step Two, and select Web Part Connections from the pop-up menu.
2. When the Web Part Connections Wizard dialog box opens, select Get Parameters From in the drop-down list and click Next.
3. Verify the radio button for Connect to Web Part on this Page is selected and click Next.
4. Verify the target Web Part is Customer Status and the target action is Send Row of Data To and click Next.
5. Click on the Create New Parameter option in the Inputs to Customer Status column.
6. Name the new parameter "PassedID" and click OK.
7. Select the ID column from the Columns in Customer Status column in the same row as the PassedID parameter. You are associating the ID column in the display grid with the PassedID parameter in the edit form.
8. Click Next.
9. Verify that the Create a Hyperlink On option is set to the Status column.
10. Select the Indicate Current Selection Using checkbox and select Status from the pop-up list.
11. Click Next.
12. Click Finish.

IMPORTANT: I have found a possible bug in SharePoint Designer. In my installation (could just be me), when I have completed the creation of the Web Part Connection sometimes the connection is still not "active". You can verify the connection was created properly by right-clicking a field in the edit form and selecting Web Part Connections from the pop-up. If the connection was created properly, it will appear in a list. If it was not created properly, the web part connection wizard will launch again. I sometimes find that I have to run the wizard twice (just clicking Next all the way through it the second time) to get the connection to "activate".

Now that you have the connection established, we need to create a filter on the edit form.

1. Select the edit form and select Dataview > Filter from the file menu.
2. Create a filter: ID equals [PassedID]
3. Click OK

Okay, we now have a grid that shows all of the items in the Customer Status List and if the user clicks on the Status it can be edited in the edit form just below the grid. SharePoint creates a hyperlink on the Status field and highlights the currently selected field.

Step Four: Hyperlink on the Row not the Column

In our current example, the user has to click the Status to change the current item in the edit form. I want to change it so the user can click anywhere in the row and update the edit form. Here is where things get a little scary for beginners. I'm going to try to explain this as clearly as possible because learning this trick is important to gaining control over SharePoint pages.

SharePoint uses HTML tables to structure the layout of the forms and pages. HTML tables always follow the same pattern:

• The table always begins with the <table> tag and ends with the </table> tag.
• Each row in the table starts with <tr> and ends with a </tr>. The term "tr" stands for table row.
• Each column in a row starts with a <td> and ends with a </td>. The term "td" stands for table data cell (I know it's not very intuitive!!).
• SharePoint uses XSL to create the table dynamically. SharePoint specifies the value of the first row and the XSL creates as many rows as needed to contain all of the data.

Once we understand these four truths, we can begin to control the way SharePoint behaves (Don't worry if they seem confusing right now, once we delve into the code it will start to make more sense). If you set the view in SharePoint Designer to SPLIT the screen, you can see the code and the design at the same time. Click on the first Status field in the display form and you can see the code that creates the field. In our example, SharePoint has placed the hyperlink tag <a> inside of the column <td> tag, here's the code directly from SharePoint (with my comments in red italics):

<tr> (create a row in the table - we're going to need this tag very soon)
   <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 1"> (everything between the XSL tags is programming stuff)
    <xsl:attribute name="class">ms-alternating</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if test="$dvt_1_automode = '1'" ddwrt:cf_ignore="1">
    <td class="ms-vb" width="1%" nowrap="nowrap">
     <span ddwrt:amkeyfield="ID" ddwrt:amkeyvalue="ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID))" ddwrt:ammode="view"></span>
    </td>
   </xsl:if>(end programming stuff)
   <td class="ms-vb"> (this is the first column the user can see - in our case the Status column)
    <a target="_self"> (this is the hyperlink we are looking for)
    <xsl:attribute xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" name="href">
     <xsl:variable name="cursel">dvt_curselkey={
      <xsl:call-template name="dvt.gencurselkey">
       <xsl:with-param name="RowPath" select="." />
      </xsl:call-template>
      }</xsl:variable>
     <xsl:variable xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" name="fields">@ID=<xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:ConnEncode(string(@ID))" /></xsl:variable>
     <xsl:text>javascript:</xsl:text>
     <xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:GenFireConnection(concat('g_fed65d2c_6c05_48ed_b84a_0ddc96bdc324*',$fields),string($cursel))"></xsl:value-of>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:attribute name="style">
     <xsl:if test="$CurrentRowKey = $dvt_curselkey">font-weight: bold;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="@Title" />
    </a> (this is the end of the hyperlink tag) </td> (this is the end of the column)
   <td class="ms-vb">
    <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="@Active='1' or msxsl:string-compare(string(@Active),'Yes','','i')=0 or msxsl:string-compare(string(@Active),'True','','i')=0">Yes</xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>No</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
   </td>
   </tr> (this is the end of the row)

I want to break the hyperlink code down a little more for you. Here is the contents of the <a> (hyperlink) tag explained in more detail:

<a target="_self"> (start the hyperlink, but when clicked just reload the current page: target = self)

(This section contains the Web Part Connection Code - very simply put, when I get clicked send the value of the ID field in the current row to the edit form)
<xsl:attribute xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" name="href">
     <xsl:variable name="cursel">dvt_curselkey={
      <xsl:call-template name="dvt.gencurselkey">
       <xsl:with-param name="RowPath" select="." />
      </xsl:call-template>
      }</xsl:variable>
     <xsl:variable xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" name="fields">@ID=<xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:ConnEncode(string(@ID))" /></xsl:variable>
     <xsl:text>javascript:</xsl:text>
     <xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:GenFireConnection(concat('g_fed65d2c_6c05_48ed_b84a_0ddc96bdc324*',$fields),string($cursel))"></xsl:value-of>
    </xsl:attribute>

(This section contains the highlight code - set the currently clicked item to bold font)
    <xsl:attribute name="style">
     <xsl:if test="$CurrentRowKey = $dvt_curselkey">font-weight: bold;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>

(This is the data field to display)
    <xsl:value-of select="@Title" />

    </a>(end the hyperlink)

I hope all of that "random" code makes a little more sense now. By recognising the basic tags in the code, we can locate and manipulate individual columns and rows. We wanted to move the <a> tag so that the hyperlink affects the whole row in the grid. The next section of code shows you the altered code and I will highlight what I moved:

<tr>
<a target="_self">
    <xsl:attribute xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" name="href">
     <xsl:variable name="cursel">dvt_curselkey={
      <xsl:call-template name="dvt.gencurselkey">
       <xsl:with-param name="RowPath" select="." />
      </xsl:call-template>
      }</xsl:variable>
     <xsl:variable xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" name="fields">@ID=<xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:ConnEncode(string(@ID))" /></xsl:variable>
     <xsl:text>javascript:</xsl:text>
     <xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:GenFireConnection(concat('g_fed65d2c_6c05_48ed_b84a_0ddc96bdc324*',$fields),string($cursel))"></xsl:value-of>
    </xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 1">
    <xsl:attribute name="class">ms-alternating</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if test="$dvt_1_automode = '1'" ddwrt:cf_ignore="1">
    <td class="ms-vb" width="1%" nowrap="nowrap">
     <span ddwrt:amkeyfield="ID" ddwrt:amkeyvalue="ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID))" ddwrt:ammode="view"></span>
    </td>
   </xsl:if>
   <td class="ms-vb">
        <xsl:attribute name="style"> (we didnt need to move the style code)
     <xsl:if test="$CurrentRowKey = $dvt_curselkey">font-weight: bold;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="@Title" />
    </td>
   <td class="ms-vb">
    <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="@Active='1' or msxsl:string-compare(string(@Active),'Yes','','i')=0 or msxsl:string-compare(string(@Active),'True','','i')=0">Yes</xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>No</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
   </td>
   <td class="ms-vb">
    <xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:FormatDate(string(@Created), 1033, 5)"/>
   </td>
   <td class="ms-vb">
    <xsl:value-of select="@Author" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
   </td></a> (the location of this tag is very important - before the </tr> but AFTER the </td> )
  </tr>
 
As you can see in the example code, I have moved the <a> tag from the inside of the column ( <td> ) to the inside of the row ( <tr> ). If I save and preview this page, I can now click anywhere in the row to change the value in the edit form.

Note: the mouse pointer doesn't change to reflect the row is a hyperlink but we will correct that in the next step.

Step Five: Change Mouse Pointer on Hover

Changing the mouse pointer when over an item is a very useful JavaScript tip. Users recognise links on a web page from the underline or from the mouse pointer changing when over the link.

If you recall the code I showed you in Step Four, I noted that we would need the <tr> tag. Locate the <tr> tag (the easiest way is to switch to split view and click the first row in the display form). Add the following code to the <tr> tag:

<tr onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand'">

All I've done here is tell the browser to initiate the JavaScript on the row. The JavaScript (onmouseover) activates when the mouse pointer is over the item, in this case the row. The values in the quotes tell the JavaScript to change the cursor (mouse pointer) to the hand. Insert the code in your page and preview the page. When you move the mouse over a row in the display form, it will change to a 'hand' cursor and your user knows that they can click there.

As you might have already guessed, you can use this little trick in a lot of other situations.

Step Six: Add Some Usability

When I look at the forms we have just created I'm happy with the functionality but, I am not so impressed with the usability. If the list contains 200 items, how do you expect the user to see the little bold highlight on the currently selected row? I want to add some custom code to the forms to improve the usability.

Highlight the Row

There are two types of highlight that I like to use when displaying a grid full of data. If the grid has the edit form on the same page, I want the currently selected row to be highlighted. If the grid links to an edit form on a different page, I want the row to highlight when the mouse pointer moves over it.

In our example, the edit form is on the same page so I want the row to highlight when the user clicks it. If you were paying attention in Step Four, you might have seen that this functionality already exists in a slightly modified format:

    <xsl:attribute name="style">
     <xsl:if test="$CurrentRowKey = $dvt_curselkey">font-weight: bold;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>

The XSL code sets the style on the column when it is the currently selected item. As is, it gives the Status field a tiny little bold affect. Let's tinker with the code a little:

    <xsl:attribute name="style">
     <xsl:if test="$CurrentRowKey = $dvt_curselkey">background-color: #ffffe0;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>

As you can see, I only changed the style value in the XSL code. The code now sets the background of the selected column to be a nice pale yellow color. You can specify any color you want and you can also change almost any style you want. Here are some examples:

   border: 1px solid red; (set the border of the selected column to red)
   text-decoration: underline; (underline the text in the selected column)

You should experiment with the different combinations of CSS style attributes and values. If you tested and previewed the change, you are probably wondering why only one column is affected. The code for the style is contained with the <td> tag so it affect only the single column. If you copy and paste the style code into each of the columns - it will affect all of the columns. You can't move the style code up to the row without messing up the web part connection - so for now you have to copy and paste it. Here is the sample code:

<tr>
<a target="_self">
    <xsl:attribute xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" name="href">
     <xsl:variable name="cursel">dvt_curselkey={
      <xsl:call-template name="dvt.gencurselkey">
       <xsl:with-param name="RowPath" select="." />
      </xsl:call-template>
      }</xsl:variable>
     <xsl:variable xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" name="fields">@ID=<xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:ConnEncode(string(@ID))" /></xsl:variable>
     <xsl:text>javascript:</xsl:text>
     <xsl:value-of select="ddwrt:GenFireConnection(concat('g_fed65d2c_6c05_48ed_b84a_0ddc96bdc324*',$fields),string($cursel))"></xsl:value-of>
    </xsl:attribute>
   <xsl:if test="position() mod 2 = 1">
    <xsl:attribute name="class">ms-alternating</xsl:attribute>
   </xsl:if>
   <xsl:if test="$dvt_1_automode = '1'" ddwrt:cf_ignore="1">
    <td class="ms-vb" width="1%" nowrap="nowrap">
     <span ddwrt:amkeyfield="ID" ddwrt:amkeyvalue="ddwrt:EscapeDelims(string(@ID))" ddwrt:ammode="view"></span>
    </td>
   </xsl:if>
   <td class="ms-vb">
    <xsl:attribute name="style">
     <xsl:if test="$CurrentRowKey = $dvt_curselkey">background-color: #ffffe0;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:value-of select="@Title" />
    </td>
   <td class="ms-vb">
   <xsl:attribute name="style">
     <xsl:if test="$CurrentRowKey = $dvt_curselkey">background-color: #ffffe0;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>
    <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="@Active='1' or msxsl:string-compare(string(@Active),'Yes','','i')=0 or msxsl:string-compare(string(@Active),'True','','i')=0">Yes</xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>No</xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
   </td></a></tr>

In our example, we only have two columns showing. If you have multiple columns, all you need to do is locate the starting tag for each column: <td class="ms-vb"> and place the style code snippet directly after it.

To sum up, we now have a single aspx page that contains a grid displaying of all of the items in a custom list with an edit form directly below the grid. The user can click anywhere in a row in the grid and the selected row is highlighted and the edit form updates to show the selected item. The user can then edit the item in the edit form and click save and see the changes in the display grid.

In the next part, I will add a New button to the page which will hide the edit form and show a new item form which will allow users to add new items to the display grid from the same aspx page.

Hyperlink adalah sebuah teks atau gambar yang apabila diklik akan membuka halaman web yang baru pada jendela browser. Hyperlink ini penting sekali untuk navigasi dalam sebuah halaman web. Karena tanpa hyperlink, seorang pengunjung halaman web akan terjebak dalam sebuah halaman tanpa bisa kemana-mana.

Di dalam kode HTML hyperlink dibuat dengan mengapit teks atau gambar yang akan dijadikan hyperlink dengan tag <a>. Tag <a> sendiri mempunyai tiga buah atribut yaitu "href", "target" dan "name". Ketiga atribut akan menentukan hyperlink yang dibuat.

Penjelasannya sebagai berikut. Jika ditulis kode HTML seperti di bawah ini.

<a href="http://bu4tweb.wordpress.com">Klik Di Sini</a>

Kode di atas akan menghasilkan sebuah hyperlink dengan teks Klik Di Sini, yang apabila diklik akan membuat browser membuka blog http://bu4tweb.wordpress.com atau blog ini. Jadi di sini diketahui bahwa atribut "href" pada tag <a> akan membuat hyperlink yang akan membuka sebuah halaman web pada jendela browser yang sama.

Terkadang webmaster ingin agar link yang dibuat akan membuka halaman web di jendela browser baru. Agar hyperlink membuka pada jendela browser baru, harus di tambahkan atribut "target" pada kode HTML tadi di atas. Sehingga kode HTML tadi menjadi seperti di bawah ini.

<a href="http://bu4tweb.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Klik Di Sini</a>

Dengan kode ini maka halaman web akan dibuka pada jendela browser yang baru. Klik Di Sini.

Satu lagi atribut tag <a> yang harus dijelaskan yaitu atribut "name". Kegunaan atribut ini adalah untuk menandai sebuah halaman web. Penandaan ini diperlukan jika artikel dalam sebuah halaman web sangat panjang dan terbagi dalam beberapa bagian. Jika anda kurang mengerti, perhatikan penjelasan ini.

Pada bagian atas artikel ini saya menulis kode HTML

<a name="atas"></a>

Artinya saya menandai bagian atas halaman ini. Kemudian saya ketik kode HTML ini.

<a href="#atas">Atas</a>

Yang akan menghasikan teks Atas ini yang jika anda klik akan membawa anda ke bagian atas artikel ini. Begitu juga di bagian bawah ini saya juga mengetikan kode

<a name="bawah"></a>

Jadi jika hyperlink Bawah tadi di atas anda klik, akan membawa anda ke bagian bawah artikel ini.

In the past couple of weeks all of the below developments took place.

- Innovative VOIP startup Oooma rolled out a small pilot retail and training program at Best Buy.

- On Demand movie hardware producer, Vudu, announced a more substantial pilot distribution program with Best Buy

- Electric sports car maker Tesla Motors opened the doors to their first retail dealership.

What's interesting about these developments is that all three SV startups chose to launch these initiatives in Los Angeles.

I was initially told by an Oooma employee that Best Buy's HQ was in LA, thus warranting a rollout in their local market. However a quick check shows that their HQ is actually in Minnesotta. Maybe he was referring to a particular office or program being headquartered in Los Angeles that is critical for establishing new retail agreements.

Regardless it seems that Silicon Valley is more than content to roll out innovative and highly anticipated yet virtually unknown products to the backdrop of Hollywood's rich and famous. Time will tell if this a solid strategy for all three but for now it doesn't raise any flags with Southern California being known for their embracing of luxury products in addition to their ability to start a viral buzz via celebrity ownership and endorsements.

In particular look for Tesla Motors to leverage adoption of their Roadster vehicle by Hollywood's A list with multiple celebrities already on the waiting list.

With reports that only 10 or so Roadsters being manufactured and sold, I found it pretty interesting that a friend in Columbus Ohio is 100% confident he saw a Roadster all the way out in Ohio. He isn't an idiot and saw it blow by Porsche in a impromptu street race. If true, one wonders who bought got one of the first Roadsters and subsequently got all the way out to Ohio.

Problem: I customized my gridview and created a set of boundfield columns. Now, I need to make one of these boundfields be clickable or some sort of hyperlink.

Solution: Create a TemplateField and a hyperlink control in your ItemTemplate.

Bevor ich Ihnen den Aufbau einer Webseite näher erklären werde, etwas zur Entstehung des Internets:

Surfen und HTML

"Surfen" war 1984 olympische Disziplin, "Seiten" kennt man aus Zeitschriften und Büchern und "blättern" (engl. to browse) ist die typische Handbewegung des Lesers. All diese Begriffe sind Metaphern für die Benutzung von Programmen, die HTML-Dateien anzeigen. Wenn man einen Computer aufschraubt, gibt es darin keine Meeresbrandung, keine Surfbretter und keine Papierstapel. Auch bunte Seiten und Bilder, Animationen und Filmchen sucht man vergeblich. In Wirklichkeit ist eine HTML-Datei eine Ansammlung von magnetisierten Stellen auf einer sich drehenden Scheibe irgendwo auf der Welt. Eine HTML-Datei läßt sich in elektrische Signale umwandeln, die über Telefonleitungen verschickt werden können. Ein Computer kann diese Signale dann wieder als magnetisierte Stellen auf seiner Festplatte "abspeichern", die dann von einem Programm "geöffnet" werden können, das eine Interpratation dieser Daten vornimmt und eine menschenlesbare Ausgabe am Bildschirm erzeugt.

Was ist HTML?

HTML steht für Hypertext Markup Language und ist die Sprache des World Wide Web (WWW). Entwickelt wurde HTML durch Tim Berners-Lee, damals Mitarbeiter am CERN, und verbreitete sich mit dem Wachstum des Internets und des WWW in den 1990er Jahren. HTML ist eine Anwendung von SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language), einem System zur Definition von Dokumentenbeschreibungssprachen und genügt der ISO Norm 8879.

Neben einem universellen Bennenungsschema zur Lokalisierung von Webresourcen, den URIs (Uniform Resource Identifier), und dem gemeinsamen Protokoll, HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protokoll), ist HTML die wichtigste Grundlage des WWW, indem es die Darstellung der Ressourcen des WWW und eine einfache Navigation zwischen den Inhalten ermöglicht.

Eine HTML-Datei enthält keine Informationen darüber, wie der Computer Bildpunkt (engl. Pixel) für Bildpunkt zeilenweise einen Bildschirm füllen soll. Eine HTML-Datei enthält Text, Informationen darüber, was der Text bedeutet (die logische Struktur des Dokuments) und Informationen über bestimmte physische Attribute bestimmter Textpassagen (wie Hervorhebungen durch Fettdruck, kursive Schrift oder Unterstreichungen).

Ein Webbrowser ist ein Programm, das Text auf dem Bildschirm darstellen (rendern) kann. Dabei interpretiert der Browser Informationen über die logische und physische Struktur des Textes, die in einer HTML-Datei enthalten sind und stellt den Text entsprechend dar.

Enthält eine HTML-Datei etwa die Information, daß eine Textpassage ein Hyperlink ist, dann stellt der Browser diese Passage mit Hervorhebungen (normalerweise blau und unterstrichen) dar und "springt", wenn man das Link anklickt auf eine andere "Seite" bzw. Stelle derselben "Seite". Die HTML-Datei enthält nur Informationen, die besagen, daß eine Textpassage ein Hyperlink ist und daß die Zieladresse dieses Links soundso ist. Hyperlinks als blaue, unterstrichene und anklickbare Textpassagen zu rendern ist eine Konvention, der die Mehrzahl der Internetbrowser genügt, aber nicht Inhalt der HTML-Datei.

Was ist XHTML?

XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup Language) war eine Neufassung von HTML als Anwendung von XML (Extensible Markup Language). Daher genügen XHTML 1.0 Dokumente gleichzeitig dem XML Standard und entsprechen mit sehr geringfügigen Abweichungen auch dem letzten HTML Standard (HTML 4.01). So sind z. B. die Unterschiede zwischen HTML 3.2 und HTML 4.01 viel bedeutsamer als die zwischen HTML 4.01 und XHTML 1.0.

HTML (als SGML-Anwendung) wird inzwischen nicht mehr vom W³C weiterentwickelt. Seit XHTML 1.1 versucht das W3C die stärkere Modularisierung der Markupsprache durchzusetzen. XHTML 2.0 ist die neueste Entwicklung in dieser Richtung, sie soll nicht mehr abwärtskompatibel sein.

Wesentliche Vorzüge von XHTML gegenüber HTML sind:

• Erweiterbarkeit der Sprache
• Verwendbarkeit von XML Werkzeugen
• Kompatibilität zu existierender HTML Software

Sejak dulu dokumen-dokumen yang terdiri dari bermacam-macam bidang bahasan sudah banyak sekali jumlahnya. Bahkan karena banyaknya tersebut, menyebabkan sulitnya pengorganisasian yang berakibat sulitnya pencarian; terutama pencarian beradasarkan bahasan (topik) tertentu. Misalnya jika ingin melakukan suatu penelitian, hasil-hasil dari penelitian yang sudah ada sebelumnya dan berkaitan tentunya harus ditemukan terlebih dahulu untuk dijadikan bahan rujukan.

Masalahnya muncul ketika hasil-hasil penelitian tersebut tidak/sulit ditemukan. Walaupun dengan adanya internet dokumen-dokumen seperti itu akan sangat mudah dipublikasikan ke seluruh dunia, namun masalah muncul kembali ketika suatu dokumen yang terkait dengan dokumen lainnya sulit juga diorganisir. Dalam artian jika seseorang sedang membaca suatu dokumen, kemudian memerlukan dokumen lain yang ada kaitannya sebagai pelengkap, maka pencarian dokumen tersebut masih menjadi masalah. Hal ini disebabkan karena banyaknya informasi yang ada. Jadi apa yang harus dilakukan untukmenangani kesulitan ini?

Jawaban dari masalah tersebut adalah Hypertext – yang secara umum merupakan kumpulan teks yang memiliki link (hyperlink) ke dokumen lain. Hyperlink berfungsi untuk memudahkan pengorganisasian publikasi dokumen-dokumen (terutama hasil penelitian) yang semakin lama semakin bertambah. Kita sebagai pembaca akan mudah sekali berpindah dari satu dokumen ke dokumen lainnya tanpa melakukan pencarian terlebih dahulu karena oleh pembuat dokumen tersebut sudah disertakan. Tentunya, dengan hyperlink ini permasalahan yang muncul akibat banyaknya informasi sudah tidak perlu dikhawatirkan lagi.

Namun, Hypertext juga memiliki permasalahan tersendiri. Salah satunya adalah pertumbuhan informasi yang luar biasa besar. Walaupun keunggulan utamanya adalah hyperlink, bukan tidak mungkin seseorang bisa melalui suatu “rantai” dokumen yang panjang yang semakin lama semakin tidak berhubungan dengan topik yang sedang ditelusurinya. Hal ini sering disebut dengan “disorientation”, yang berarti suatu kecenderungan seseorang untuk kehilangan arahnya dalam suatu informasi yang tidak linear. Hal inilah yang disebut dengan istilah “lost in hyperspace” (LIH).

Berdasarkan penelitian, LIH merupakan masalah psikologis (user) dan engineering (author)? Sehingga dalam penanggulangannya pun berbeda.

• Jika merupakan masalah psikologis (user), solusinya adalah membangun suatu antarmuka grafis yang sebisa mungkin memudahkan (user-friendly). Diharapkan dengan mekanisme seperti ini, user bisa melakukan eksplorasi terhadap dokumen-dokumen (informasi) secara terfokus.
• Jika merupakan masalah engineering (author), solusinya adalah dengan memperbaiki desain sistemnya. Maksudnya, author sendiri kadang suka “tersesat” ketika melakukan proses desain dan pembuatan dokumen hypertext. Sehingga hasilnya adalah dokumen yang struktur link-nya “ruwet”.

Secara logika, user hanya memegang prinsip “tinggal pakai saja”. Walaupun tidak seluruhnya masalah ada pada author, tetapi perbaikan di “sektor" engineering ini akan berdampak sangat besar pada user. Untuk itu dibutuhkan suatu alat bantu (tool) bagi author untuk menangani kompleksitas struktur informasi yang akan dibuatnya, sehingga menghasilkan dokumen yang memudahkan user untuk berpindah dari satu dokumen ke dokumen lainnya dengan benar-benar terarah dan sesuai dengan topiknya.

A powerful plugin from Zemanta enables bloggers to focus on 'writing' while it takes care of their hyperlinking, images and tagging needs.

The punchline sums it up 'Have your browser understand what you are blogging about and suggest pictures, links, articles and tags to make your posts more vibrant. We are making blogging fun again.'

I learnt about Zemanta in Tom Raftery's post and since then I'm in love with it.

How does Zemanta work?

a.) Download & install the Zemanta plugin from here. [The integration in Wordpress.com was seamless ].

b.) Zemanta sidebar appears in your blog-editor.

c.) Now when you write a blog-post Zemanta starts searching for related articles, images, tags and hyperlinks. The auto-mated suggestions is based on the number of characters you write.

The good things first

> As a blogger you can now focus only on writing and quality content.

> Forget about what to hyperlink and what no to hyperlink

> Forget searching for images on google.

> Forget thinking about appropriate tags for you post..

Scope for Improvement

> Tom says they're using semantic search. Considering that Zemanta is relatively new there is definite scope for improvement in the quality of search.

Like I mentioned, Zemanta appears to be solving a big problem for an average blogger. The concept is beautiful and I am pretty confident that Zemanta is here to stay. It is actually solving a key problem which is in the blogosphere and as they say the whole blogosophere will be Zemified !

Highlight the text (select the image) you wish to link from and click the "make hyperlink" icon. Type in the complete URL into the first field. In the dropdown box leave "Open link in same window" as your option for all links within your website/blog. If you are linking to someone else's website or blog, select "Open link in new window" as the option.

If you've made an error or no longer wish to have the text or image link somewhere, highlight the link and click the "remove hyperlink" icon.

Hyperlinks can be VERY helpful because they can save time & space on your site when you want to share a link with your viewers. They are the most basic, easiest forms of HTML elements to create even if you are HTML illiterate!! Most commonly used by affiliate marketers, but used in network marketing in general as a whole, they are ESSENTIAL when it comes to having any kind of website, blog, etc...

So what do they look like and how do you make them... SIMPLE:

The basic hyperlink HTML BEFORE it's customized:

(1) In the spot that says "web address", place your FULL web address, even anything extra after the forward slash, if you want it to go to a specific page. Make sure you take out the quotation marks above.

(2) In the spot that says "link text", write a short, catchy phrase or include an image that your viewers can click on that will take them to the website or link you were informing them about.

(3).... & save!!

THAT'S IT!!!!!!
