5 HTML Tricks That You Can Use To Enhance Your Web Pages

1. Smooth Scrolling

   Add smooth scrolling effect to your page links, so when users click on a link, the page scrolls smoothly to the target section. This can be achieved by using CSS and JavaScript. Here's an example:

         
   <style>
     html {
       scroll-behavior: smooth;
     }
   </style>
   
         

2. Image Lazy Loading

   Lazy loading delays the loading of images until they are needed, which can greatly improve page loading times. Use the loading attribute with a value of "lazy" on your <img> tags to implement this:

         
   <img src="image.jpg" alt="Example" loading="lazy">
   
         

3. Customizing Form Input Styling

   Customize the appearance of form input elements to match your website's design. You can modify the styles of input fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and more. Here's an example to style an input field:

         
   <style>
     input[type="text"] {
       border: 1px solid #ddd;
       border-radius: 4px;
       padding: 5px;
     }
   </style>
   
         

4. Sticky Navigation Bar

   Create a navigation bar that sticks to the top of the page as the user scrolls. This can be achieved using CSS position: sticky. Here's an example:

         
   <style>
     .navbar {
       position: sticky;
       top: 0;
       background-color: #f1f1f1;
       padding: 10px;
     }
   </style>
   <div class="navbar">
     
   </div>
   
         

5. Responsive YouTube Videos

   Make YouTube videos responsive by wrapping the embedded video code within a <div> container with a specific aspect ratio. This ensures that the video scales properly on different screen sizes. Here's an example:

         
   <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0;">
     <iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;" allowfullscreen></iframe>
   </div>
