How to Create Presentation Slides With HTML and CSS

As I sifted through the various pieces of software that are designed for creating presentation slides, it occurred to me: why learn yet another program, when I can instead use the tools that I'm already familiar with?

We can easily create beautiful and interactive presentations with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, the three basic web technologies. In this tutorial, we'll use modern HTML5 markup to structure our slides, we'll use CSS to style the slides and add some effects, and we'll use JavaScript to trigger these effects and reorganize the slides based on click events.

This tutorial is perfect for those of you new to HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, who are looking to learn something new by building. After this you could even learn to build an HTML5 slide deck or a dynamic HTML with JavaScript PPT . The sky is the limit. 

Wondering how to create an HTML slideshow? Here's the final preview of the presentation HTML tutorial slides we're going to build:

Have you checked out HTML tutorial slides? It's a good example of HTML PPT slides for download.

Let's begin.

1. Create the Directory Structure

Before we get started, let's go ahead and create our folder structure; it should be fairly simple. We'll need:

• css/style.css
• js/scripts.js

This is a simple base template. Your files remain blank for the time being. We'll fix that shortly.

2. Create the Starter Markup

Let's begin by creating the base markup for our presentation page. Paste the following snippet into your index.html file.

From the base markup, you can tell that we are importing Font Awesome Icons, our stylesheet ( style.css ), and our JavaScript ( index.js ).

Now we'll add the HTML markup for the actual slides inside the <div> wrapper:

We have seven slides in total, and each slide is composed of the heading section and the content section.

Only one slide will be shown at a time. This functionality is handled by the .show class, which will be implemented later on in our stylesheet. Using JavaScript, later on, we'll dynamically add the .show class to the active slide on the page.

Below the slides, we'll add the markup for our slide's counter and tracker:

Later on, we'll use JavaScript to update the text content as the user navigates through the slides.

Finally, we'll add the slide navigator just below the counter:

This section consists of four buttons responsible for navigating left and right and switching between full-screen mode and small-screen mode. Again, we'll use the class .show to regulate which button appears at a time.

That'll be all for the HTML part. Now, let's move over to styling.

3. Make It Pretty

Our next step takes place within our stylesheet. We'll be focusing on both aesthetics and functionality here. To make each slide translate from left to right, we'll need to target the class .show with a stylesheet to show the element.

Here's the complete stylesheet for our project:

4. Enable Slide Navigation

Whenever we click on the left or right icon, we want the next slide or previous slide to appear. We also want to be able to toggle between full-screen mode and small-screen mode.

Furthermore, we want the slide's counter to display the accurate slide number on every slide. All these features will be enabled with JavaScript.

Inside js/index.js , we'll begin by storing references to the presentation wrapper, the slides, and the active slide:

Next, we'll store references to the slide counter and both of the slide navigators (left and right icons):

Then store references to the whole presentation container and both button icons for going into full screen and small screen mode:

Now that we're done with the references, we'll initialize some variables with default values:

screenStatus represents the screen orientation. 0 represents a full screen mode, and 1 represents a small screen mode.

currentSlideNo represents the current slide number, which as expected is the first slide. totalSlides is initialized with 0, but this will be replaced by the actual number of our slides.

Moving the Presentation to the Next and Previous Slides

Next, we'll add click event listeners to the left button, right button, full screen button, and small screen button:

We bind corresponding functions that will run when the click event is triggered on the corresponding element.

Here are the two functions responsible for changing the slide:

In the function moveToLeftSlide , we basically access the previous sibling element (i.e. the previous slide), remove the .show class on the current slide, and add it to that sibling. This will move the presentation to the previous slide.

We do the exact opposite of this in the function moveToRightSlide . Because nextElementSibling is the opposite of previousElementSibling , we'll be getting the next sibling instead.

Code for Showing the Presentation in Full Screen and Small Screen

Recall that we also added click event listeners to the full screen and small screen icons. Here's the function responsible for toggling full-screen mode:

Recall that presentationArea refers to the element that wraps the whole presentation. By adding the class full-screen to this element, we trigger the CSS that will expand it to take up the whole screen.

Since we're now in full-screen mode, we need to show the icon for reverting back to the small screen by adding the class .show to it. Finally, we update the variable screenStatus to 1.

For the smallScreenMode function, we do the opposite—we remove the class full-screen , show the expand button icon, and update screenStatus .

Hiding the Left and Right Icons on the First and Last Slides

Now, we need to invent a way to hide the left and right buttons when we're on the first slide and last slide respectively.

We'll use the following two functions to achieve this:

Both these functions perform a very simple task: they check for the current slide number and hide the left and right buttons when the presentation is pointing to the first and last slide respectively.

Updating and Displaying the Slide Number

Because we're making use of the variable currentSlideNo to hide or show the left and right button icons, we need a way to update it as the user navigates through the slides. We also need to display to the user what slide they are currently viewing.

We'll create a function getCurrentSlideNo to update the current slide number:

We start the counter at 0, and for each slide on the page, we increment the counter. We assign the active counter (i.e. with the class .show ) to the currentSlideNo variable.

With that in place, we create another function that inserts some text into the slide counter:

So if we were on the second slide, for example, the slide's counter would read: "2 of 6".

Putting Everything Together

To ensure that all of these functions run in harmony, we'll run them in a newly created init function that we'll execute at the start of the script, just below the references:

We must also run init() at the bottom of both the moveToLeftSlide and moveToRightSlide functions:

This will ensure that the init function runs every time the user navigates left or right in the presentation.

Wrapping Up

I hope this tutorial helped you understand basic web development better. Here we built a presentation slideshow from scratch using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It's a great way to get into creating dynamic HTML with JavaScript PPT 

With this project, you should have learned some basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript syntax to help you with web development.

• Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Creating Beautiful HTML & CSS Presentations with WebSlides

This article was peer reviewed by Ralph Mason , Giulio Mainardi , and Mikhail Romanov . Thanks to all of SitePoint’s peer reviewers for making SitePoint content the best it can be!

Presentations are one of the best ways to serve information to an audience. The format is short and sharp, made up of small, digestible chunks, which makes any topic under discussion engaging and easier to understand. A presentation can contain all kinds of data, represented by many different elements, such as tables, charts, diagrams, illustrations, images, videos, sounds, maps, lists, etc, all of which lends great flexibility to this medium of expression.

Particularly on the web, presentations come in handy on many occasions, and there are loads of tools at your disposal to create some nifty ones. Today, I’ll introduce you to WebSlides — a small and compact library with a nice set of ready-to-use components, which you can leverage to build well-crafted and attractive web presentations:

WebSlides “is about telling the story, and sharing it in a beautiful way.”

In fact, one of WebSlides’ main benefits is that you can share your story beautifully and in a variety of different ways. With one and the same architecture — 40+ components with semantic classes, and clean and scalable code — you can create portfolios, landings, longforms, interviews, etc.

Besides, you can also extend WebSlides’ functionality by combining it with third-party services and tools such as Unsplash , Animate.css , Animate On Scroll , and so on.

WebSlides is easy to learn and fun to use. Let’s see it in action now.

To get started, first download WebSlides . Then, in the root folder, create a new folder and call it presentation . Inside the newly created presentation folder, create a new file and call it index.html . Now, enter the following code, which contains the needed references to the WebSlides’ files (make sure the filepaths correspond to the folder structure in your setup):

In this section you’re going to create a short, but complete presentation, which explains why SVG is the future of web graphics. Note: If you are interested in SVG, please check my articles: SVG 101: What is SVG? and How to Optimize and Export SVGs in Adobe Illustrator .

You’ll be working step by step on each slide. Let’s get started with the first one.

The first slide is pretty simple. It contains only one sentence:

Each parent <section> inside <article id="webslides"> creates an individual slide. Here, you’ve used two classes from WebSlides’ arsenal, i.e., bg-gradient-r and aligncenter , to apply a radial gradient background and to align the slide content to the center respectively.

The second slide explains what SVG is:

The code above uses the content-left and content-right classes to separate the content into two columns. Also, in order to make the above classes work, you need to wrap all content by using the wrap class. On the left side, the code uses text-subtitle to make the text all caps, and text-intro to increase the font size. The right side consists of an illustrative image.

The next slide uses the grid component to create two columns:

The snippet above shows how to use the grid and column classes to create a grid with two columns. In the first column the style attribute aligns the text to the left (Note how the aligncenter class on the <section> element cascades through to its .column child element, which causes all text inside the slide to be center aligned). In the second column, the browser class makes the illustrative image look like a screenshot.

In the fourth slide, use the grid component again to split the content into two columns:

In this slide, place half of the content to the left and the other half to the right using the content-left and content-right classes respectively:

In this slide, use the background class to embed an image as a background with the Unsplash service . Put the headline on light, transparent background by using the bg-trans-light class. The text’s color appears white, because the slide uses a black background with the bg-black class, therefore the default color is inversed, i.e., white on black rather than black on white. Also, for the text to be visible in front of the image, wrap it with <div class="wrap"> :

In this slide, put the explanation text on the left and the illustrative image on the right at 40% of its default size (with the alignright and size-40 classes on the <img> element). For this and the next three slides, use slideInRight , which is one of WebSlides’ built-in CSS animations:

Do a similar thing here:

This slide also uses a similar structure:

Here, divide the content into left and right again. In the second <p> tag, use the inline style attribute to adjust the font-size and line-height properties. Doing so will override the text-intro class styles that get applied to the element by default. On the right side, use <div class="wrap size-80"> to create a container for the SVG code example:

Here, leverage some of the classes you’ve already used to illustrate browser support for SVG:

In this slide, show some of the use cases for SVG in the form of an image gallery. To this end, use an unordered list with the flexblock and gallery classes. Each item in the gallery is marked up with a li tag:

This section shows a typical SVG workflow, so you need to use the flexblock and steps classes, which show the content as a sequence of steps. Again, each step is placed inside a li tag:

For each step after the first one, you need to add the process-step-# class. This adds a triangle pointing to the next step.

In the last slide, use another one of WebSlides’ built-in CSS animations, i.e., zoomIn :

Congratulations! You’re done. You can see the final outcome here:

See the Pen HTML and CSS Presentation Demo with WebSlides by SitePoint ( @SitePoint ) on CodePen .

Et voilà! You have just created a beautiful, fully functional and responsive web presentation. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, there’s a lot more you can quickly create with WebSlides and many other WebSlides features which I didn’t cover in this short tutorial.

To learn more, explore the WebSlides Components and CSS architecture documentation , or start customizing the demos already available to you in the downloadable folder.

Then, focus on your content and let WebSlides do its job.

Mastering the Basics: A Complete Guide to HTML CSS Javascript

Delve into the synergy of HTML CSS JavaScript – the backbone of web development. In this article, you’ll learn how HTML lays out the frame, CSS adorns it with style, and JavaScript infuses it with action. Step by step, we’ll show you how they converge to create dynamic, user-friendly websites. Let’s start building. So, let’s begin.

Key Takeaways

HTML provides the structural foundation of web pages using a system of tags that dictates content organization, whereas CSS brings the design and visual appeal through styles and layouts, and JavaScript adds interactivity by dynamically manipulating the DOM.

Responsive design using CSS media queries is essential for enhancing user experience across various devices, while JavaScript event handling and asynchronous operations with AJAX create a more dynamic and smooth user interaction.

Resources for learning web development range from online platforms like W3 Schools and Codecademy to interactive coding challenges on Frontend Mentor, which also aid beginners in practicing and advancing their coding skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Understanding HTML: The Skeleton of Web Pages

HTML, standing for Hypertext Markup Language, is the unsung hero of the web, providing the structure and organization of your web pages. Picture HTML as the skeleton of your web page, forming the basic structure with elements like headers, footers, and navigation bars. HTML uses a system of tags to delineate different types of content, such as headings, paragraphs, and links, thus creating a well-defined content structure on the web page. An HTML document is the final product that brings all these elements together to create a cohesive and organized web page.

The <!DOCTYPE> tag is critical in defining the document type, which helps browsers to render the page accurately.

The Anatomy of HTML Tags

HTML tags serve as the building blocks of a webpage, each with a specific purpose that provides structure to the content displayed. For instance, heading tags such as:

<h1> to <h6> reflect the hierarchy of content

The <p> tag defines individual paragraphs, facilitating the organization of text on the page

Tags like <b>, <em>, and <strong> are used to draw attention to text through bold, emphasised, or strong visual cues.

The HTML tags used for creating lists and structuring content are:

<ul>, <ol>, and <li> tags create lists to group related items

<div> and <span> serve as general-purpose containers for structuring and styling content

Semantic HTML tags such as <header>, <footer>, <section>, and <article> give meaning to the content, outlining its role within the webpage’s layout

The <hr> tag is utilized to symbolize a thematic break within the content, often displayed as a horizontal line to separate different topics or sections.

Enhancing Pages with HTML Media and Forms

Beyond simple text, HTML offers a vast array of tools for enriching your web pages with media. Tags like <img>, <video>, <audio>, <canvas>, and <svg> allow you to embed images, videos, audio, and graphics into your web pages, adding depth and vibrancy to your content. The <embed> tag is used for embedding a variety of content, with modern browsers phasing out plugins like Java Applets and Flash in favor of standard HTML media tags.

HTML forms, created using the <form> tag, lay the foundation for collecting user inputs through various form elements. These elements include:

<input>

<textarea>

<button>

<select> with <option> and <optgroup>

<datalist>

structured groups with <fieldset> and <legend>

All of these elements play integral roles in user interaction and data collection.

Styling with CSS: Crafting Visually Appealing Designs

With a grasp on the structural role of HTML, it is time to explore the world of Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS. It’s responsible for the visual presentation and layout of web pages. CSS is the artist that brings your HTML canvas to life, allowing customization of elements such as colors, fonts, and positioning. Think of it as the paint that colors the HTML skeleton, with the font-family property in CSS helping designers set the typeface for an element, thereby directly impacting the visual appeal and readability of the text.

CSS equips us with powerful layout modules like Flexbox for flexible and efficient item arrangements, and CSS Grid for constructing complex two-dimensional layouts. Furthermore, CSS ensures that your web pages adapt well to various screen sizes while maintaining aesthetic integrity and user experience, a concept known as responsive design. Additionally, for those looking to craft powerful layouts fast, purecode.ai is an excellent resource that provides custom components in HTML and CSS, streamlining the design process.

Selectors and Properties: The Language of CSS Styles

Now, taking a closer look at CSS, we use selectors to target HTML elements and style them. There are various types of selectors available, such as element, class, and ID selectors. Once a selector targets an element, CSS properties are utilized to specify the visual appearance of the element on a web page, with each property such as color or margin serving a unique purpose.

These properties are assigned to HTML tags through CSS rules, determining the content’s presentation on the frontend and shaping the overall look and feel of a web page. As a result of a blend of selectors and properties, CSS scripts the visual narrative of your web page.

Media Queries: Responsive Design for All Devices

With the rising usage of devices of all sizes to access web pages in our digital era, the need for responsive design has become paramount. So this is where media queries in CSS3 come into play. They enable the inclusion of a block of CSS properties only if a certain condition is true, such as the viewport being a specific width. Breakpoints are utilized in media queries to alter the page layout at designated screen sizes, a common practice in responsive design to cater to different devices.

The mobile-first design strategy addresses styling for smaller screens first and subsequently uses media queries to include styles for larger screens, resulting in a responsive design that optimizes mobile performance. Media queries can also detect screen orientation, allowing web pages to present different styling for portrait versus landscape modes, as well as adapt to varying screen sizes, enhancing the user experience across all devices.

JavaScript: Bringing Web Pages to Life

After delving into the structure and style of web pages, we come to the third pillar of web development: JavaScript. This powerful programming language is responsible for adding interactivity and dynamic features to web pages and is one of the common programming languages used by more than 81% of all websites. In comparison to other programming languages, JavaScript allows easy access to and manipulation of page elements through the Document Object Model (DOM), making web pages interactive.

JavaScript enhances user experience with interactive elements such as:

menu buttons, which can reveal additional content on demand

toggling the visibility of elements

changing element identities

displaying calculated results

With a basic understanding of JavaScript, web designers can have full control over their website’s design and functionality, enabling them to implement features like animations, forms, and games using javascript code. Collaborating with a web developer can further enhance the website’s capabilities.

Event Handling and User Input

JavaScript adds a spark to your web page by monitoring user actions and responding suitably. Event handling in JavaScript is based on an event-driven programming model where functions execute in response to events such as user actions. Event listeners detect events such as:

key presses

mouse movements

form submissions

and execute a function using methods like addEventListener.

This enables real-time interaction, allowing for features like:

interactive form validation to give instant feedback to users

tracking user actions such as mouse clicks and keyboard inputs to create responsive, interactive experiences

using the CustomEvent constructor in JavaScript to create and dispatch custom events aside from standard browser events, providing more flexibility in event handling.

Asynchronous Operations with AJAX

AJAX, an acronym for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, introduces an unprecedented level of dynamism to web pages. It allows web pages to interact with servers to retrieve or send data without reloading, using data formats such as XML, JSON, or plain text.

An AJAX communication cycle consists of:

Creating an XMLHttpRequest object

Sending a request to a server

Handling the server’s response

Updating the web page content accordingly.

JavaScript can perform AJAX operations using the XMLHttpRequest object or the more advanced Fetch API, both of which manage requests and responses between client and server. By selectively updating parts of a web page through AJAX, without a full refresh, applications become more dynamic and provide a smoother user experience.

Combining Forces: Integrating HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Now that we’ve delved into each of the three pillars of web development separately, let’s explore how they integrate to build a fully functional webpage. HTML structures static content, CSS styles elements, while JavaScript adds interactivity and dynamic elements to a web page. Understanding the different roles of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is crucial for diagnosing and solving issues related to website components.

HTML, CSS, and JavaScript together enable the creation of a fully functioning webpage by providing the structure, design, and programming necessary for web interactions. They are like the three musketeers of web development, each with their unique strengths, but when combined, create a synergy that results in a wholesome, engaging web experience.

A Step-by-Step Example

To illustrate the seamless integration of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, let’s walk through a detailed step-by-step example of crafting a web page from scratch.

First, we begin with HTML, which is like laying the foundation when building a house. Then we set up the frame by creating a basic HTML document that includes the <!DOCTYPE html> declaration to define the version of HTML, a <head> section for meta information, and a <body> for the main content. Here’s a simple example:

Next, we turn to CSS to dress up our HTML structure with style and personality. We create a separate stylesheet and link it to our HTML with the <link> tag in the head section. In our CSS file, we target elements like the <header> to apply styles such as background colors and fonts. For example, here’s a snippet:

Finally, we add JavaScript to introduce interactivity to our webpage. We write a script that listens for user events like button clicks using the addEventListener method. Below is an example where we toggle a class on the <header> when a button is clicked, changing its appearance:

This example illustrates how HTML provides the content and structure, CSS adds the style and layout, and JavaScript introduces dynamic behavior and interactivity, all working together to create an engaging web experience.

Tools and Resources for Learning Web Development

Armed with the basics of web development, you might be pondering on how to advance your learning journey. Fortunately, there are various tools and resources available that cater to different learning styles and skill levels.

How To Build A Captivating Presentation Using HTML, CSS, & JavaScript

Building beautiful presentations is hard. Often you're stuck with Keynote or PowerPoint, and the templates are extremely limited and generic. Well not anymore.

Today, we're going to learn how to create a stunning and animated presentation using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

If you're a beginner to web development, don't fret! This tutorial will be easy enough to keep up with. So let's slide right into it!

We're going to be using an awesome framework called Reveal.js . It provides robust functionality for creating interesting and customizable presentations.

• Head over to the Reveal.js repository and clone the project (you can also fork this to your GitHub namespace).

• Change directories into your newly cloned folder and run npm install to download the package dependencies. Then run npm start to run the project.

The index.html file holds all of the markup for the slides. This is one of the downsides of using Reveal.js; all of the content will be placed inside this HTML file.

Built-In Themes

Reveal includes 11 built-in themes for you to choose from:

Changing The Theme

• Open index.html
• Change the CSS import to reflect the theme you want to use

The theme files are:

• solarized.css

Custom Themes

It's quite easy to create a custom theme. Today, I'll be using my custom theme from a presentation I gave called "How To Build Kick-Ass Website: An Introduction To Front-end Development."

Here is what my custom slides look like:

Creating A Custom Theme

• Open css/theme/src inside your IDE. This holds all of the Sass files ( .scss ) for each theme. These files will be transpiled to CSS using Grunt (a JavaScript task runner). If you prefer to write CSS, go ahead and just create the CSS file inside css/theme.
• Create a new  .scss file. I will call mine custom.scss . You may have to stop your localhost and run npm run build to transpile your Sass code to CSS.
• Inside the index.html file, change the CSS theme import in the <head> tag to use the name of the newly created stylesheet. The extension will be  .css , not  .scss .
• Next, I created variables for all of the different styles I wanted to use. You can find custom fonts on Google Fonts. Once the font is downloaded, be sure to add the font URL's into the index.html file.

Here are the variables I chose to use:

• Title Font: Viga
• Content Font: Open Sans
• Code Font: Courier New
• Cursive Font: Great Vibes
• Yellow Color: #F9DC24
• Add a  .reveal class to the custom Sass file. This will wrap all of the styles to ensure our custom theme overrides any defaults. Then, add your custom styling!

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I'll admit that I used quite a bit of  !important overrides in my CSS. This is horrible practice and I don't recommend it. The reveal.css file has extremely specific CSS styles, so I should have, if I had more time, gone back and ensured my class names were more specific so I could remove the  !importants .

Mixins & Settings

Reveal.js also comes with mixins and settings you can leverage in your custom theme.

To use the mixins and settings, just import the files into your custom theme:

Mixins You can use the vertical-gradient, horizontal-gradient, or radial-gradient mixins to create a neat visual effect.

All you have to do is pass in the required parameters (color value) and voila, you've got a gradient!

Settings In the settings file, you'll find useful variables like heading sizes, default fonts and colors, and more!

The structure for adding new content is:

.reveal > .slides > section

The <section> element represents one slide. Add as many sections as you need for your content.

Vertical Slides

To create vertical slides, simply nest sections.

Transitions

There are several different slide transitions for you to choose from:

To use them, add a data-transition="{name}" to the <section> which contains your slide data.

Fragments are great for highlighting specific pieces of information on your slide. Here is an example.

To use fragments, add a class="fragment {type-of-fragment}" to your element.

The types of fragments can be:

• fade-in-then-out
• fade-in-then-semi-out
• highlight-current-blue
• highlight-red
• highlight-green
• highlight-blue

You can additionally add indices to your elements to indicate in which order they should be highlighted or displayed. You can denote this using the data-fragment-index={index} attribute.

There are way more features to reveal.js which you can leverage to build a beautiful presentation, but these are the main things which got me started.

To learn more about how to format your slides, check out the reveal.js tutorial . All of the code for my presentation can be viewed on GitHub. Feel free to steal my theme!

I really love reveal.js. I haven't spoken in a while so I haven't used it. I've always used their themes and never thought about making my own. This is probably super useful for company presentations, too. I'm SO over google slides. Trying to format code in those is a nightmare LOL

The best thing in this - and now I'm not being ironic - is that while you work on a not so much technical task - creating a presentation - you still have to code. And the result is nice.

On the other hand, I know what my presentation skills teachers would say. Well, because they said it... :) If you really want to deliver a captivating presentation, don't use slides at all. Use the time to prepare what you want to say.

I'm not that good - yet, but taking their advice, if must I use few slides, with little information on them and with minimal graphical distractions. My goal is to impress them by what I say, not is what behind my head.

I'm going to a new training soon, where the first day we have to deliver a presentation supported by slides at a big auditorium and the next day we have to go back and forget about the slides and just get on stage and speak. I can't wait for it.

How about github.com/team-fluxion/slide-gazer ?

It's my fourth attempt at creating a simple presentation tool to help one present ideas quickly without having to spend time within a presentation editor like Microsoft PowerPoint. It directly converts markdown documents into elegant presentations with a few features and is still under development.

Yup, RevealJS is awesome !

Previously I either used PPT or Google Slides. One is a paid license and the other requires an internet connection.

The cool thing about it is that since it's just HTML files behind the scenes, the only software you need to view it with is a web browser. Has amazing syntax-highlighting support via PrismJS. And as a web developer, it makes it simple to integrate other npm packages if need be...

I actually just used it to present a talk this week!

Check out slides.com If you want to skip the heavy lifting and/or use a presentation platform based on reveal.js.

Everything is still easy to customize. The platform provides a UI to work from and an easy way to share your stuff.

BTW - I have no affiliation with slides.com, or even a current account. I used the service a few years back when I regularly presented and wanted to get over PowerPoint, Google Slides, Prezi, etc.

The web standards model - HTML CSS and JavaScript

Introduction.

Continuing with Web Standards Curriculum , the basic building blocks of the Web — HTML , CSS and JavaScript have been introduced. Now it’s time to dig a little deeper and to look at each of these — what they do, and how the three interact with each other to create a web site.

Why separate?

That’s usually the first question that gets asked about web standards. You can accomplish content, styling and layout just using HTML — font elements for style and HTML tables for layout, so why should we bother with this XHTML/CSS stuff? Tables for layout, etc. is how it used to be done in the bad old days of web design, and many people still do it like this (although you really shouldn’t), which is one of the reasons why we created this course in the first place. We won’t be covering such methods in this course. Here are the most compelling reasons for using CSS and HTML over outdated methods:

• Efficiency of code : The larger your files are, the longer they will take to download, and the more they will cost some people to view (some people still pay for downloads by the megabyte.) You therefore don’t want to waste your bandwidth on large pages cluttered up with styling and layout information in every HTML file. A much better alternative is to make the HTML files stripped down and neat, and include the styling and layout information just once in a separate CSS file. To see an actual case of this in action, check out the A List Apart Slashdot rewrite article where the author took a very popular web site and re-wrote it in XHTML/CSS.
• Ease of maintenance : Following on from the last point, if your styling and layout information is only specified in one place, it means you only have to make updates in one place if you want to change your site’s appearance. Would you prefer to update this information on every page of your site? I didn’t think so.
• Accessibility : Web users who are visually impaired can use a piece of software known as a “screen reader” to access the information through sound rather than sight — it literally reads the page out to them, and it can do a much better job of helping people to find their way around your web page if it has a proper semantic structure, such as headings and paragraphs. In addition keyboard controls on web pages (important for those with mobility impairments that can't use a mouse) work much better if they are built using best practices. As a final example, screen readers can’t access text locked away in images, and find some uses of JavaScript confusing. Make sure that your critical content is available to everyone.
• Device compatibility : Because your HTML/XHTML page is just plain markup, with no style information, it can be reformatted for different devices with vastly differing attributes (eg screen size) by simply applying an alternative style sheet — you can do this in a few different ways (look at the [ mobile articles on dev.opera.com ] for resources on this). CSS also natively allows you to specify different style sheets for different presentation methods/media types (eg viewing on the screen, printing out, viewing on a mobile device.)
• Web crawlers/search engines : Chances are you will want your pages to be easy to find by searching on Google, or other search engines. A search engine uses a “crawler”, which is a specialized piece of software, to read through your pages. If that crawler has trouble finding the content of your pages, or mis-interprets what’s important because you haven’t defined headings as headings and so on, then your rankings in relevant search results will probably suffer.
• It’s just good practice : This is a bit of a “because I said so” reason, but talk to any professional standards-aware web developer or designer, and they’ll tell you that separating content, style, and behaviour is the best way to develop a web application.

Markup, the basis of every page

HTML and XHTML are markup languages composed of elements, which contain attributes (some optional and some mandatory.) These elements are used to mark up the various different types of content in documents, specifying what each bit of content is supposed to be rendered as in web browsers (for example headings, paragraphs, tables, bulleted lists etc.)

Elements define the actual content type, while attributes define extra information about those elements, such as an ID to identify that element, or a location for a link to point to. You should bear in mind that markup is supposed to be as semantic as possible, ie it is supposed to unambiguously describe the function of the content. Figure 1 shows the anatomy of a typical element.

Figure 1: Anatomy of an (X)HTML element.

With that in mind, just what is the difference between HTML and XHTML?

What is XHTML?

HTML is the oldest web language, and the most common one you'll find on the web - it is a bit more forgiving in terms of strict syntax rules. XHTML on the other hand is a reformulation of HTML as an XML vocabulary, XML being a separate markup language with much stricter syntax rules. The difference between XHTML and HTML doesn't really matter so much any more, unless you find youself working in a web team in the future that has coding guidelines that favour one style or another. If you are using HTML5, which we will be doing throughout this course, then you are free to use HTML or XHTML syntax. Choose whatever you are most comfortable with, as long as you stick to the best practices outlined in the course.

Table 1 shows the main syntax differences between HTML and XHTML.

Table 1: Differences between HTML and XHTML.

Validation, what’s that?

Because HTML/XHTML are standards (and CSS too, for that matter), the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has created great tools called validators to automatically check your pages for you, and point out any problems/errors your code might have, such as missing closing tags or missing quotes around attributes. The HTML validator is available online . It will automatically detect whether you’re using HTML or XHTML, and which doctype you’re using. If you want to check out your CSS, there is also a CSS validator available . You can also find a special HTML5 validator online, which tends to be more up to date than the W3C one, as far as HMTL5 is concerned.

For more information on validation, see Validating your HTML . For more information on doctypes, see Choosing the right doctype for your HTML documents .

CSS — let’s add some style

Cascading Style Sheets gives you fine control over the formatting and layout of your document. CSS works on a system of rules, which select the elements you want to style, and then set values for different properties of the elements. You can change or add colors, backgrounds, font sizes and styles, and even position things on your web page in different places. Here is an example CSS rule:

Now any content enclosed within <p></p> tags will have double the line height, and be colored green.

The example below will give you more of an idea of how CSS styles HTML; we’ll start looking at CSS in way more detail in CSS basics .

JavaScript — adding behaviour to web pages

Finally, JavaScript is the scripting language that you use to add behaviour to your web pages — it can be used to validate the data you enter into a form (tell you if it is in the right format or not), provide drag and drop functionality, change styles on the fly, animate page elements such as menus, handle button functionality, and a million other things. Most modern JavaScript works by finding a target HTML element, and then doing something to it, just like CSS, but the way it operates, the syntax etc. is rather different.

JavaScript is a more complicated and expansive subject than HTML and CSS, so to keep things simple and avoid confusion at this stage, I won’t be discussing it in the below example. In fact, you won’t be looking at JavaScript in this course again until Programming - the real basics .

An example page

There are a lot of details I haven’t covered here, but we’ll get through everything during this web design course! For now, I’ll present you with a real page example, just to give you a taste of what you’ll be working with in the rest of the articles.

The example I present below is a references page, which you could use to cite references at the end of say, a psychology essay on the group dynamics of a web development team, or a report for work on broadband Internet use in the United States. Please note, that if you’re a stickler for strict academic writing, this example shows APA formatting (I had to pick one) download the example code .

I’m not going to dissect this file line by line, as you’ll see many examples in future articles, however, a few major things to take note of are as follows.

Line 1 is what’s called the document type declaration, or doctype. In this case, the page is an HTML5 page. The original idea of doctypes was to specify a set of rules that your markup has to follow, and can be validated against, but in actual fact all it really does is to make your browser render the page properly, in what is called "standards mode". The HTML5 doctype is therefore the shortest sequence of characters that will do this. See Choosing the right doctype for your HTML documents for more on doctypes.

Lines 5 to 7 import a CSS file into the page — the styles contained in this file will be applied to the various elements on the page. You’ll see the content of the CSS file that handles all of the formatting for the page in the next section. I’ve assigned a different class to each of the different types of reference. Doing this lets me apply a different style to each type of reference — for instance in our example I’ve put a different color to the right of each reference to make it easier to scan the list.

The page looks like Figure 2 without the CSS applied:

Figure 2: the raw HTML, without any CSS styling

Now let’s take a look at the CSS that styles the HTML.

I went a little overboard with styling up this page, adding some neat background effects in order to show you some of the things that can be accomplished using CSS.

Line 1 sets some defaults for the document such as text and background color, width of border to add around the text, etc. Some people won’t bother to explicitly state defaults like these, and most modern browsers will apply their own defaults, but it is a good idea, as it allows you more control over how your web site will look across different browsers.

On the next line I’ve set the page to be 800 pixels wide (although I could have specified a percentage here to have the page expand/contract based on the size of the browser window. The margin setting I’ve used here will ensure that the page content stays centered in the window.

Next let’s turn our attention to the background images used in the page (these are applied using the background: url declarations.) I’ve got 3 different background elements on this page. The first is a gradient that tiles across the top of the page giving us the nice blue fade. Second, I’ve used a semi-transparent PNG for the pen graphic in order to provide enough contrast with the text above it and to pick up the gradient (semi-transparent PNG images don’t work in Internet Explorer 6 or below, but they work in pretty much every modern browser; see Dean Edward's IE-fixing JavaScript for an IE6 solution to this issue, which also fixes some of IE6’s CSS support issues.)

Finally, I’ve used another semi-transparent PNG for the background of our page heading. It gives the heading a little added contrast, and provides a neat effect.

The fully styled example looks like Figure 3.

Figure 3: The finished example with styles applied.

The reality of it all

Something you should bear in mind when learning web standards is that what we are working towards here is an ideal. It would be so much easier if all web designers and developers used modern web standards and best practices to build web sites, and all browsers in use today supported web standards perfectly. Unfortunately, neither is true - for a start, the web professionals making web sites today have learned how to do so in many different ways, and at many different times. Some are still making web sites using bad practices like tables and spacer gifs, which is what most of us used to do back in the late nineties. Most web professionals taught themselves, and even those of us who did do an official qualification of some kind did not necessarily get taught "the right way" to do things. Many of the university and college courses out there are ...shall we say... behind the times.

If you talked to many of those who do things using the old methods about updating their skill set, they would probably say "why bother - my way works, and I don't have time to learn new skills, so I'm just sticking to what I know." You can understand this argument, but if they could just take the time to update their skills, I'm sure they would find creating cross browser web sites and maintaining their code a lot easier. They would also get better accessibility and SEO thrown into the bargain. For now, I'd advise those of you learning to do things right from the start with courses like this to carry on doing what you are doing! Also, if you get the chance to pass on some of these modern best practices to others, then you will be doing the Web a favour.

And in terms of web browser support, all modern browsers now support HTML, CSS and JavaScript really well. The problem lies in legacy support for old versions of Internet Explorer - IE 6, 7 and 8 still have significant usage figures, so you may still be called upon to support these in web projects. You can work around lack of support for various features, and sometimes lack of support will mean a lesser (eg, it may not look as nice) experience that still works ok, rather than the site not working at all. This may still be fine, depending on your particular situation.

We'll include more details on what to do with older browser support in subsequent chapters.

There is nothing mystical about HTML, CSS and JavaScript. They’re simply an evolution of the web. If you’ve already had some exposure to HTML, there is nothing to “unlearn”. Everything you know is still relevant, you’ll just have to handle certain things a different way (and be a little more careful in your markup).

Aside from getting the satisfaction of a job well done, web standards development just makes sense. The counter-arguments to developing with standards is that it’s time consuming and a pain in the neck having to make a layout work across browsers. The opposite argument could be applied to making a non-standards-based layout work across a range of devices and with future browser versions. How can you be certain that your hobbled-together markup will display at all in future versions of Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc.? You can’t, unless you follow the rules.

How HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work

Read more posts by this author.

Scrolling through web developer job descriptions, or even frontend developer courses, you’ll often find HTML, CSS, and JavaScript bundled together. Created at separate points in the internet’s early days, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript jointly form the foundation of almost every single website and web application you’ve ever interacted with.

If you’re looking to pursue a web development career, it’s important to understand how they work together. That’s where we come in!

In this blog post, we’ll dive into the nuts and bolts of HTML, CSS, and Javascript; and walk through an example of how to use them in practice. We’ll also take a look at how long it takes to lean HTML, CSS, and JavaScript — and round off with some practical advice on where beginners can go to learn these three foundational web languages without breaking the bank 💰.

These are the sections we’ll look at:

• 📍 What are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?
• 📍 Introduction to HTML
• 📍 Introduction to CSS
• 📍 Introduction to JavaScript
• 📍 How do HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work together?
• 📍Which web language should I learn first?
• 📍Where can I learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?

Let’s get stuck in!

What are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript?

Before we answer this question, it’s important to first get on the same page about what programming in web development actually is.

Programming is how web developers communicate with the software. A programming language is how the software knows how to:

• Put a sentence in bold
• Set a color to green, and
• Get a button shake when the user clicks it.

Computers read programming languages in the same way that humans interpret instructions, and they behave accordingly.

Now, here’s the catch: JavaScript is a programming language, but HTML and CSS are not. HTML and CSS are web languages; meaning they all relate to, and help build experiences on, the World Wide Web. But they all play different roles — which we’ll explore in more detail over the next few sections.

Introduction to HTML

What is html, and how does it work 🤔.

HTML is an essential building block of any webpage. It describes the structure and semantics (meaning) of content rather than its appearance.

After reading the previous section, you might be thinking “if HTML isn’t a programming language, what is it?” The clue is in the name: HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language . It’s made up of a set of markup tags and symbols which tell browsers how to display images and words on a web page.

HTML tags are written in angle brackets (< and >) and tell what kind of information goes inside them, such as headings, paragraphs or lists etc.

Here’s an example of what HTML looks like:

Developed in 1990, HTML is truly a relic from the birth of the internet — back in the days when adding color to a landing page was seen as ‘flashy’. Nevertheless, it’s as widely used today as it has been for decades — and it’s not going anywhere.

What can I build with HTML? 🛠

Most commonly, HTML is used to build websites and landing pages. HTML is a basic web language, so its functionality is limited — but it can be used to tweak existing templates, perform basic marketing tasks (like add Google Analytics tags to a website), make SEO updates, and create custom layouts on e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Shopify.

How long does HTML take to learn? 📚

HTML is an industry-standard language that every developer is expected to have a solid grasp of. The good news? As well as being one of the most widely-used web languages, it’s also among the most beginner-friendly.

You can learn the basics of HTML in a matter of hours, and start confidently building web pages within a month (depending on whether you’re learning part time ).

It’s important to note that while HTML is a vital IT skill, learning it alone won’t make you a web developer. We’ll talk more about why you should learn HTML alongside CSS in the next section.

Introduction to CSS

What is css, and how does it work 🤔.

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It’s a style sheet language that is used for styling HTML elements , like text.

CSS can add fonts, colors, and functionality to a page — turning a series of static, plain-text pages into a fully-functioning website. It can also:

• Create navigation bars on web pages
• Define page layouts with things like columns
• Add animation and motion.

This is why HTML and CSS are so commonly taught in tandem.

One of CSS’s most popular uses is adding responsiveness to websites. Think about going viewing a website on a desktop, and then viewing the same website on your phone. The layout will change completely to accommodate for this new screen size; the navigation bar might turn into an expandable menu icon, and some elements will be pushed further down the page. That’s CSS working its magic.

CSS is also known as the time saver of web development. It can be used to control the layout of multiple web pages all at once (rather than having to write different code for each layout).

This means that if there's a change in the design or structure of a page, you only have to change it in one place and it will affect every page where CSS has been applied.

Here’s an example of CSS:

What can I build with CSS? 🛠

You can’t actually build anything with CSS on its own. As it’s a styling language, CSS needs to be used in conjunction with a markup language (like HTML or XML) so it actually has properties to style. Otherwise, it would be like setting out to paint your house without the actual paint.

CSS can add interactivity and responsiveness to static web pages. When used together, CSS and HTML can be used to create responsive websites, emails, and even basic animations.

How long does CSS take to learn? 📚

CSS has more technical elements than HTML, which can mean it takes slightly longer to develop a working knowledge. Luckily, CSS and HTML are almost always taught together — which makes it an even easier (and faster) web language to get the hang of. Some courses take a mere few hours — but, like any technical skill, you’ll want to continue gaining proficiency over several months.

Introduction to JavaScript

What is javascript, and how does it work 🤔.

JavaScript is the programming language of the Web. since it was first introduced in the mid-90s, it’s become one of the most dominant languages in use across web development today. Not bad for a programming languages that was created in just 10 days !

Despite its humble beginnings, JavaScript is a crucial pillar of user interfaces as we know them. JavaScript improves the user experience of a website by allowing developers add complex features and high-level interactivity to webpages and web applications. This includes elements like:

• Content updates
• Interactive maps
• Responsive CTAs
• Data visualization
• Animated 3D graphics

You can also store values inside variables, like when you need to set a password and there’s a suggested password in the input box.

Here’s an example of JavaScript:

What can I build with JavaScript? 🛠

JavaScript is a lot more versatile than HTML or CSS, and its uses stretch beyond the web. It's used to build almost everything you see on any website or app — from simple text boxes, through to complex games like Candy Crush Saga or Angry Birds 2.

Other popular digital products built with JavaScript include:

• 💻 Popular servers, like Netflix and PayPal
• 📱 Mobile apps like Uber and Facebook
• 🚀 And even rockets (yes, you read that right) with Space X

It can also be used as a back-end programming language.

How long does JavaScript take to learn ? 📚

JavaScript is a highly technical programming language, and the time it takes to master the fundamentals has been subject of widespread debate in the web development community . Depending on your learning style, it might take you 1-2 months to learn JavaScript in its basic form — but some programmers have suggested it’s taken them closer to a year to develop a solid working proficiency.

How do HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work together?

Now that we understand how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript work as individual web languages, how do they work together in practice?

Imagine a website as a car that needs to be built, and web developers as the mechanics who’ve been tasked with building it . They’ll take the blueprints —  which detail how the car should look in its final form — and turn them into a physical and functioning car that can get the driver from A to B.

To carry through their vision, they have three tools in their arsenal:

• HTML (the building blocks of the car)
• CSS (the style, look, and feel of the car)
• JavaScript (the cars engine and smart features)

First, they’ll use HTML to construct the cars basic structure or the ‘skeleton’. They’ll create door panels, wheels, trunks, and hoods that can be welded together. Not very aesthetically pleasing or functional, but HTML will get the car components built.

Next, CSS is used to embellish the car’s basic structure with style and function. Colors are added, as well as materials like leather seats, a wooden dashboard, and aluminium rims. Suddenly the car has gone from a bare-bones structure to something you’d actually want to drive.

Now it’s time to take it from show-car to fully functioning vehicle. Using JavaScript, the developers are able to inject some much-needed functionality into the car with a powerful engine, lighting, speakers, dash, and displays. With JavaScript, the car’s finishing touches can be added — and before you know it, it’s ready to take to the roads with its sleek new look.

Okay, a website is pretty different to a car. But this analogy has hopefully demonstrated how to use CSS and JavaScript in HTML in their most basic sense — and how each function works together to create the finished product.

Should I learn HTML, CSS, or JavaScript first?

If you’re on the precipice of a career change into web development, you might be wondering: Which web language should I prioritise learning first? And does it matter?

As we explained earlier, it makes sense to learn HTML and CSS together first . The two go hand in hand, so it’s important to develop a working knowledge of how to apply them both as you work on real-world projects. You’ll also accelerate your skills as a web developer faster than if you’d opted to learn HTML on its own. Once you’ve got a solid foundation in HTML and CSS, you’ll be in a better position to tackle JavaScript’s slightly steeper learning curve.

In some cases, you can learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as part of one course. Which brings us to the next section…

Where to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

For an introduction to HTML and CSS, we recommend opting for a digestible, beginner-friendly short course — like our HTML and CSS course taught by Scrimba Founder (and industry-leading front-end superstar) Per Harald Borgen. The course features This course consists of 95 bite-sized lectures, which walk you through the process of using HTML and CSS to build and deploy your first website. The best part? It’s completely free .

Once you’ve completed the HTML and CSS course, you can move on to our free JavaScript course for beginners , which will see you master the fundamentals of JavaScript by solving 140+ interactive coding challenges and building three fun projects.

If you’re looking to consolidate your introduction to web development and web languages, another approach is to find a comprehensive frontend development course that allows you to learn HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through one curriculum — like Scrimba’s Frontend Developer Career Path .

Featuring over 70 hours of top-notch tutorials, hundreds of interactive coding challenges, and tailored feedback from industry-leading developers, we’ll equip you with all the tools and skills you need to land your first web development gig (no previous experience required). You’ll also get access to an active community of other beginner developers on a similar journey.

How to Create a Slideshow with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

A web slideshow is a sequence of images or text that consists of showing one element of the sequence in a certain time interval.

For this tutorial you can create a slideshow by following these simple steps:

Write some markup

Write styles to hide slides and show only one slide..

To hide the slides you have to give them a default style. It'll dictate that you only show one slide if it is active or if you want to show it.

Change the slides in a time interval.

The first step to changing which slides show is to select the slide wrapper(s) and then its slides.

When you select the slides you have to go over each slide and add or remove an active class depending on the slide that you want to show. Then just repeat the process for a certain time interval.

Keep it in mind that when you remove an active class from a slide, you are hiding it because of the styles defined in the previous step. But when you add an active class to the slide, you are overwritring the style display:none to display:block , so the slide will show to the users.

How to Create Presentation Slides with HTML and CSS

• March 15, 2022

As I sifted through the various pieces of software that are designed for creating presentation slides, it occurred to me: why learn yet another program, when I can instead use the tools that I’m already familiar with? 

We can easily create beautiful and interactive presentations with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, the three basic web technologies. In this tutorial, we’ll use modern HTML5 markup to structure our slides, we’ll use CSS to style the slides and add some effects, and we’ll use JavaScript to trigger these effects and reorganize the slides based on click events. 

This tutorial is perfect for those of you new to HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, who are looking to learn something new by building.

Here’s the final preview of the presentation slide we’re going to build:

You can also find the complete source code in the GitHub repo .

Let’s begin.

Table of Contents

1. Create the Directory Structure

Before we get started, let’s go ahead and create our folder structure; it should be fairly simple. We’ll need:

index.html css/style.css js/scripts.js

This is a simple base template. Your files remain blank for the time being. We’ll fill that shortly.

2. Create the Starter Markup

Let’s begin by creating the base markup for our presentation page. Paste the following snippet into your index.html file.

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang=”en”> <head> <meta charset=”UTF-8″> <meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″> <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”ie=edge”> <title>Document</title> <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”css/style.css”>

<!– Font Awesome Icon CDN –> <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.0.0/css/all.min.css” integrity=”sha512-9usAa10IRO0HhonpyAIVpjrylPvoDwiPUiKdWk5t3PyolY1cOd4DSE0Ga+ri4AuTroPR5aQvXU9xC6qOPnzFeg==” crossorigin=”anonymous” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer” /> </head> <body> <div class=”container” <div id=”presentation-area”> <!– slides go here –> </div> </div> <script src=”js/index.js” type=”text/javascript”></script> </body> </html>

From the base markup, you can tell that we are importing Font Awesome Icons, our stylesheet ( style.css ) and our JavaScript ( index.js ). 

Now we’ll add the HTML markup for the actual slides inside the <div> wrapper:

<section class=”presentation”>

<!– Slide 1 –> <div class=”slide show”> <div class=”heading”> Presentation on C# </div> <div class=”content grid center”> <h3 class=”title”> What is C# ? <br /> All You Need To Know </h3> </div> </div>

<!– Slide 1 –> <div class=”slide”> <div class=”heading”> Overview </div> <div class=”content grid center”> <h3 class=”title”> Introduction to C+ </h3> <p class=”sub-title”> Basic and Advanced Concepts </p> <p>Lecture No. 1</p> <p>My Email Address</p> <p><a href=””> [email protected] </a></p> </div> </div>

<!– Add 5 more slides here –> </section>

We have seven slides in total, and each slide is comprised of the heading section and the content section.

Only one slide will be shown at a time. This functionality is handled by the .show class which will be implemented later on in our stylesheet. 

Using JavaScript, later on, we’ll dynamically add the .show class to the active slide on the page.

Below the slides, we’ll add the markup for our slide’s counter and tracker:

<div id=”presentation-area”> <!– <section class=”slides”><-></section> –> <section class=”counter”> 1 of 6 </section> </div>

Later on, we’ll use JavaScript to update the text content as the user navigates through the slides.

Finally, we’ll add the slide navigator just below the counter:

<div id=”presentation-area”> <!– <section class=”slides”><-></section> –> <!– <section class=”counter”><-></section> –> <section class=”navigation”> <button id=”full-screen” class=”btn-screen show”> <i class=”fas fa-expand”></i> </button>

<button id=”small-screen” class=”btn-screen”> <i class=”fas fa-compress”></i> </button>

<button id=”left-btn” class=”btn”> <i class=”fas fa-solid fa-caret-left”></i> </button>

<button id=”right-btn” class=”btn”> <i class=”fa-solid fa-caret-right”></i> </button> </section> </div>

This section consists of four buttons responsible for navigating left and right and switching between full-screen mode and small-screen mode. Again, we’ll use the class .show to regulate which button appears at a time.

That’ll be all for the HTML part, let’s move over to styling.

3. Make It Pretty

Our next step takes place within our stylesheet. We’ll be focusing on both aesthetics as well as functionality here. To make each slide translate from left to right, we’ll need to target the class .show with a stylesheet to show the element.

Here’s the complete stylesheet for our project:

* { margin: 0; padding: 0; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; transition: all 0.5s ease; }

body { width: 100vw; height: 100vh; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; }

ul { margin-left: 2rem; }

ul li, a { font-size: 1.2em; }

.container { background: #212121; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: relative; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; }

#presentation-area { width: 1000px; height: 500px; position: relative; background: purple; }

/* Styling all three sections */ #presentation-area .presentation { width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; background: #ffffff; position: relative; }

#presentation-area .counter { position: absolute; bottom: -30px; left: 0; color: #b6b6b6; }

#presentation-area .navigation { position: absolute; bottom: -45px; right: 0; }

/* On full screen mode */ #presentation-area.full-screen { width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: hidden; }

#presentation-area.full-screen .counter { bottom: 15px; left: 15px; }

#presentation-area.full-screen .navigation { bottom: 15px; right: 15px; }

#presentation-area.full-screen .navigation .btn:hover { background: #201e1e; color: #ffffff; }

#presentation-area.full-screen .navigation .btn-screen:hover { background: #201e1e; } /* End full screen mode */

/* Buttons */ .navigation button { width: 30px; height: 30px; border: none; outline: none; margin-left: 0.5rem; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 30px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; }

.navigation .btn { background: #464646; color: #ffffff; border-radius: 0.25rem; opacity: 0; transform: scale(0); }

.navigation .btn.show { opacity: 1; transform: scale(1); visibility: visible; }

.navigation .btn-screen { background: transparent; color: #b6b6b6; visibility: hidden; }

.btn-screen.show { opacity: 1; transform: scale(1); visibility: visible; }

.btn-screen.hover { color: #ffffff; box-shadow: 0px 10px 30px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } /* End Buttons */

/* content */ .presentation .content { padding: 2em; width: 100%; height: calc(100% – 100px); z-index: 11; }

.presentation .content.grid { display: grid; }

.presentation .content.grid.center { justify-content: center; align-items: center; text-align: center; }

.content .title { font-size: 3em; color: purple; }

.content .sub-title { font-size: 2.5em; color: purple; }

.content p { font-size: 1.25em; margin-bottom: 1rem; } /* End Content Stylesheet */

/* Slide */ .presentation .slide { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; background: #ffffff; opacity: 0; transform: scale(0); visibility: none; }

.slide.show { opacity: 1; transform: scale(1); visibility: visible; }

.slide .heading { padding: 2rem; background: purple; font-size: 2em; font-weight: bold; color: #ffffff; }

4. Enable Slide Navigation

Whenever we click on the left or right icon, we want the next slide or previous slide to appear. We also want to be able to toggle between full-screen mode and small-screen mode. 

Furthermore, we want the slide’s counter to display the accurate slide number on every slide. All these features will be enabled with JavaScript.

Inside js/index.js , we’ll begin by storing references to the presentation wrapper, the slides, and the active slide:

let slidesParentDiv = document.querySelector(‘.slides’); let slides = document.querySelectorAll(‘.slide’); let currentSlide = document.querySelector(‘.slide.show’);

Next, we’ll store references to the slide counter and both of the slide navigators (left and right icons):

var slideCounter = document.querySelector(‘.counter’); var leftBtn = document.querySelector(‘#left-btn’); var rightBtn = document.querySelector(‘#right-btn’);

Then store references to the whole presentation container and both button icons for going into full screen and small screen mode:

let presentationArea = document.querySelector(‘#presentation-area’); var fullScreenBtn = document.querySelector(‘#full-screen’); var smallScreenBtn = document.querySelector(‘#small-screen’);

Now that we’re done with the references, we’ll initialize some variables with default values:

var screenStatus = 0; var currentSlideNo = 1 var totalSides = 0;

screenStatus represents the screen orientation. 0 represents a full screen mode and 1 represents a small screen mode. 

currentSlideNo represents the current slide number, which as expected is the first slide. totalSlides is initialized with 0, but this will be replaced by the actual number of our slides.

Moving the Presentation to the Next and Previous Slides

Next, we’ll add click event listeners to the left button, right button, full screen button and small screen button:

leftBtn.addEventListener(‘click’, moveToLeftSlide); rightBtn.addEventListener(‘click’, moveToRightSlide);

fullScreenBtn.addEventListener(‘click’, fullScreenMode); smallScreenBtn.addEventListener(‘click’, smallScreenMode);

We bind corresponding functions that will run when the click event is triggered on the corresponding element.

Here are the two functions responsible for changing the slide:

function moveToLeftSlide() { var tempSlide = currentSlide; currentSlide = currentSlide.previousElementSibling; tempSlide.classList.remove(‘show’); currentSlide.classList.add(‘show’); }

function moveToRightSlide() { var tempSlide = currentSlide; currentSlide = currentSlide.nextElementSibling; tempSlide.classList.remove(‘show’); currentSlide.classList.add(‘show’); }

In the function moveToLeftSlide, we basically access the previous sibling element (ie. the previous slide), remove the .show class on the current slide and add it to that sibling. This will move the presentation to the previous slide.

We do the exact opposite of this in the function moveToRightSlide. Because nextElementSibling is the opposite of previousElementSibling, we’ll be getting the next sibling instead.

Code for Showing the Presentation in Full Screen and Small Screen

Recall that we also added click event listeners to the full screen and small screen icons.

Here’s the function responsible for toggling full-screen mode:

function fullScreenMode() { presentationArea.classList.add(‘full-screen’); fullScreenBtn.classList.remove(‘show’); smallScreenBtn.classList.add(‘show’);

screenStatus = 1; }

function smallScreenMode() { presentationController.classList.remove(‘full-screen’); fullScreenBtn.classList.add(‘show’); smallScreenBtn.classList.remove(‘show’);

screenStatus = 0; }

Recall that presentationArea refers to the element that wraps the whole presentation. By adding the class full-screen to this element, we trigger the CSS that will expand it to take up the whole screen. 

Since we’re now in full-screen mode, we need to show the icon for reverting back to the small screen by adding the class .show to it. Finally, we update the variable screenStatus to 1.

For the smallScreenMode function, the opposite is done – we remove the class full-screen, show the expand button icon, and reupdate screenStatus.

Hidding Left and Right Icons in First and Last Slides 

Now, we need to invent a way to hide both the left and right buttons when we’re on the first slide and last slide respectively.

We’ll use the following two functions to achieve this:

function hideLeftButton() { if(currentSlideNo == 1) { toLeftBtn.classList.remove(‘show’); } else { toLeftBtn.classList.add(‘show’); } }

function hideRightButton() { if(currentSlideNo === totalSides) { toRightBtn.classList.remove(‘show’); } else { toRightBtn.classList.add(‘show’); } }

Both these functions perform a very simple task: they check for the current slide number and hide the left and right buttons when the presentation is pointing to the first and last slide respectively.

Updating and Displaying Slide Number

Because we’re making use of the variable currentSlideNo to hide or show the left and right button icons, we need a way to update it as the user navigates through the slides. 

We also need to display to the user what slide he or she is currently viewing.

We’ll create a function getCurrentSlideNo to update the current slide number:

function getCurrentSlideNo() { let counter = 0;

slides.forEach((slide, i) => { counter++

if(slide.classList.contains(‘show’)){ currentSlideNo = counter; } });

We start the counter at 0, and for each slide on the page, we increment the counter. We assign the active counter (ie. with the class .show) to the currentSlideNo variable. 

With that in place, we create another function that inserts some text into the slide counter:

function setSlideNo() { slideNumber.innerText = `${currentSlideNo} of ${totalSides}` }

So if we were on the second slide for example, the slide’s counter will read as: 2 of 6

Putting Everything Together

To ensure that all of these functions run in harmony, we’ll run them in a newly created init function that we’ll execute at start of the script, just below the references:

function init() {

getCurrentSlideNo(); totalSides = slides.length setSlideNo(); hideLeftButton(); hideRightButton(); }

We must also run init() at the bottom of both the moveToLeftSlide and moveToRightSlide functions:

function moveToLeftSlide() { // other code

function moveToRightSlide() { // other code

This will ensure that the function init runs every time the user navigates left or right in the presentation.

Wrapping Up

I hope this tutorial helped you understand basic web development better. Here we built a presentation slideshow from scratch using HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Editable HTML, CSS and Javascript within Powerpoint Presentation?

I was wondering if it was possible to have an editable HTML demo interface (like Plunkr) inside powerpoint for doing educational presentations on HTML, JavaScript, etc.

Has anyone done this? Is it possible to embed an iFrame with a link to plunkr or local node server within powerpoint?

4 Answers 4

You can do it now with Powerpoint Online and the 'Web Viewer' Addin

1) Open your presentation on https://onedrive.live.com

2) Add an addin called 'Web Viewer' from MS

3) Insert it to the presentation and put in your content's url

4) End result

• Great! Cool answer –  Code Whisperer Commented Dec 4, 2016 at 12:00

You can embed a browser control into a PPT slide (use Shyam's free Live Web add-in if you don't want to mess with doing it in code: http://skp.mvps.org/liveweb.htm ).

• Live Web does not support Canvas and potentially other features of HTML5/CSS3. –  MyNameIsKo Commented Apr 8, 2016 at 13:24
• 1 More accurately, Live Web inserts a MS web browser control into your PPT. The browser control hosts an instance of MSIE. It'd be MSIE that doesn't support these add'l features. Perhaps one of the browsers that does support the needed features also offers an insertable browser control usable in PPT. –  Steve Rindsberg Commented Apr 8, 2016 at 15:00
• 1 According to Live Web's F.A.Q.s, the default version of IE used by the browser control is IE7, though there are ways of using a more recent version. Then again, after setting the default to IE10, I was still unable to even get some simple JavaScript to run. I'm not sure JavaScript is still supported. –  MyNameIsKo Commented Apr 8, 2016 at 18:16
• JavaScript is supported but the IE security settings may have disabled it. –  Steve Rindsberg Commented Apr 10, 2016 at 2:49

I use slides.com for educational presentations (well, educating to myself at the very least). To be more specific, I did a few small JavasScript talks at our local JavaScript meetup here - nothing fancy, but works.

I think you should be able to add some remote code in there.

The simple answer: no. You can't embed iframes in powerpoints. Perhaps there are Chrome/FF extensions that allow you to embed things into Google Docs Presentations (which are HTML5/SVG based), but other than that, this is not possible. I have no idea if any such extension exists, but I am quite convinced it should be possible to make.

How to make Simple Calculator using HTML CSS & JavaScript

How to make cool button hover effect using html & css, how to make squid game loader using html & css.

Let’s create a Simple Calculator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This project will feature a basic calculator that performs arithmetic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We’ll use HTML to structure the calculator’s interface, CSS to style it for a clean and user-friendly look, and JavaScript to handle the calculations and user interactions.

Let’s dive into building the Simple Calculator. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this project offers a practical way to practice your coding skills and create a functional tool that users can interact with. Let’s start calculating!

The provided code is an HTML document that represents a basic calculator interface. It consists of a container div that contains an input field and a set of buttons for performing calculations. The input field is of type “text” and has a class of “display”. The buttons are divided into two categories: operators and numbers. The operator buttons include AC (for clearing the input), DEL (for deleting the last character), % (for calculating percentages), and the basic arithmetic operators (/ for division, * for multiplication, – for subtraction, and + for addition). The number buttons range from 0 to 9, including 00 and a decimal point. Finally, there is an equal button (=) for evaluating the expression entered in the input field.

The code imports the Google font “Poppins” and sets it as the default font for all elements. The body is centered on the page with a background color. The calculator container has a maximum width, border-radius, and box-shadow. The display and buttons are styled accordingly.

JavaScript:

The provided JavaScript code snippet is used to create functionality for a calculator.

• The code selects the display element and all the buttons on the calculator interface.
• It defines a function called “calculate” that performs calculations based on the button clicked.
• The function updates the output based on the button value and updates the display accordingly.
• Event listeners are added to the buttons, so when clicked, they call the “calculate” function with the corresponding button value.

In conclusion, creating a Simple Calculator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript has been a practical and educational project. By combining these technologies, we’ve built a functional and user-friendly calculator that can perform basic arithmetic operations. This project is perfect for honing your web development skills and understanding how to create interactive tools.

Create a Timeline using HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Create a timeline using javascript.

Want to build a dynamic and interactive timeline for your website? In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of creating a timeline using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Timelines are a great way to visually represent events in chronological order, making them ideal for displaying history, project milestones, or any other sequence of events.

Introduction to Timelines

A timeline is a visual representation of events in chronological order. It helps users understand the sequence and timing of events at a glance. Timelines are used in various applications, including project management, history websites, personal resumes, and more. By using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you can create a fully customizable and interactive timeline for any purpose.

Why Create a Timeline Using JavaScript?

Creating a timeline using JavaScript offers several benefits:

• Interactivity : JavaScript enables dynamic updates and interactions, such as animations or event filters.
• Customization : Full control over the design and functionality to match your website’s style and requirements.
• Responsiveness : JavaScript allows you to make the timeline responsive, adapting to different screen sizes.

Setting Up the Project

To get started, set up your project environment with the following files:

• index.html : The main HTML file containing the structure of the timeline.
• styles.css : A CSS file to style the timeline, making it visually appealing and responsive.
• script.js : A JavaScript file to handle interactions, animations, and dynamic updates.

Building the Timeline with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

Step 1: creating the html structure.

In index.html, set up the basic structure of the timeline:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head>    <meta charset="UTF-8">    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">    <title>Interactive Timeline</title>    <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css"> </head> <body>    <div class="timeline-container">        <h1>Interactive Timeline</h1>        <div class="timeline" id="timeline">            <!-- Timeline items will be dynamically generated here -->        </div>    </div>    <script src="script.js"></script> </body> </html>

• Timeline Container : The main wrapper for the timeline, including a heading and a timeline display area.
• Dynamic Content : The timeline items will be added dynamically using JavaScript.

Step 2: Styling the Timeline with CSS

In styles.css, style the timeline to make it visually appealing and easy to navigate:

body {    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;    background-color: #f4f4f4;    display: flex;    justify-content: center;    align-items: center;    height: 100vh;    margin: 0; } .timeline-container {    width: 80%;    max-width: 800px;    background-color: #fff;    padding: 20px;    border-radius: 8px;    box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } h1 {    text-align: center;    margin-bottom: 20px; } .timeline {    position: relative;    padding: 20px 0;    list-style: none; } .timeline::before {    content: '';    position: absolute;    top: 0;    left: 50%;    width: 4px;    height: 100%;    background: #ddd;    transform: translateX(-50%); } .timeline-item {    position: relative;    margin: 20px 0;    padding-left: 50%; } .timeline-item-content {    position: relative;    background: #4caf50;    padding: 10px 20px;    border-radius: 5px;    color: #fff;    text-align: left;    max-width: 400px;    box-shadow: 0 2px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } .timeline-item-content::after {    content: '';    position: absolute;    top: 10px;    left: -10px;    width: 20px;    height: 20px;    background: #4caf50;    border-radius: 50%;    box-shadow: 0 0 0 4px #f4f4f4; }

• Timeline and Items : Style the timeline and its items, including positioning and color schemes.
• Timeline Line : Add a vertical line down the center to represent the timeline axis.

Step 3: Implementing the Timeline Logic in JavaScript

In script.js, add the functionality to dynamically generate and display timeline items:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {    const timeline = document.getElementById('timeline');    // Sample data for the timeline    const events = [        { date: '2000', description: 'Y2K Bug Scare' },        { date: '2004', description: 'Facebook Launched' },        { date: '2007', description: 'iPhone Released' },        { date: '2010', description: 'Instagram Launched' },        { date: '2012', description: 'Curiosity Rover Lands on Mars' },        { date: '2015', description: 'SpaceX Lands First Reusable Rocket' },        { date: '2020', description: 'COVID-19 Pandemic' }    ];    // Function to create timeline items    function createTimelineItem(event) {        const item = document.createElement('div');        item.className = 'timeline-item';        const content = document.createElement('div');        content.className = 'timeline-item-content';        content.innerHTML = `<h3>${event.date}</h3><p>${event.description}</p>`;        item.appendChild(content);        timeline.appendChild(item);    }    // Generate timeline items from events data    events.forEach(event => {        createTimelineItem(event);    }); });

• Event Listener : Use the DOMContentLoaded event to ensure the DOM is fully loaded before manipulating it.
• Dynamic Item Creation : Create timeline items dynamically based on an array of events, including a date and description for each item.

Enhancing the Timeline

To make the timeline more interactive and visually appealing, consider adding these features:

• Animations : Add animations for elements entering the viewport, such as sliding or fading effects.
• Interactivity : Enable click or hover interactions to reveal more details about each event.
• Responsive Design : Adjust the timeline layout for mobile and desktop screens using media queries.

Applications of Timelines

Timelines are used in various contexts, including:

• Historical Events : Displaying important dates and milestones in history.
• Project Management : Visualizing project timelines, tasks, and milestones.
• Personal Resumes : Highlighting key achievements and career progression.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a fully functional interactive timeline built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This timeline can serve as a versatile tool for displaying events, milestones, or any sequential information in a visually appealing format. Whether for educational, professional, or personal use, mastering timeline creation is a valuable skill in web development.
