11 Cool HTML Tricks To Make Your Web Pages Stand Out

Prakash Mishra — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 16:07:06 +0000

You want to make your website stand out from the crowd but you’re not sure what to do. You’ve been reading up on cool HTML tricks and tips, but haven’t been able to identify any unique ideas that will improve your web pages.

Html tricks are useful for web page design and development to boost website performance and gain more traffic.

With it, you can make your website stand out, or create interactive features that enhance the user experience.

Here are 11 cool HTML tips you can use in your next website design.

1. Add Voice Recognition

The voice recognition tag allows you to embed a recording of your own voice into your web page. This could be useful if you want to say something and have it appear as text on the page.

This trick is used to add voice search in the input field. Like Google searches, it searches by voice recognition.

This will only work on mobile devices(Laptop only Google Chrome.

<input type="text" x-webkit-speech/>

2. Lazy Loading Image

If you’re looking to make your web pages stand out, there’s no better way than by using lazy loading i.e. one of the most important cool HTML tricks.

Lazy loading is the process of displaying an image on a page when it’s not needed—for example, when the browser has already loaded it and is waiting for more data.

This technique allows you to save bandwidth and improve performance, but it also adds to the aesthetics of your site by allowing users to see more content as they scroll down.

You can use lazy loading in your HTML code with this line:

<img src="image.png" loading="lazy" alt="..." width="200" height="200">

3. Input Suggestions

An input suggestion tag is a small piece of code that you can add to an HTML page. It’s used to suggest what the user should enter into a form field—and it’s pretty useful! You can use these tags in a variety of ways:

Search forms
Contact forms
Sign up forms

<label for="programmingLanguages">Choose Your Favourite Programming Language:</label>
        <div class="container">
            <input type="text" list="programmingLanguages" 
                        placeholder="Enter Here" />
            <datalist id="programmingLanguages">
                <option value="Objective C">Objective C</option>
                <option value="C++">C++</option>
                <option value="C#">C#</option>
                <option value="Cobol">Cobol</option>
                <option value="Go">Go</option>
                <option value="Java">Java</option>
                <option value="JavaScript">JavaScript</option>
                <option value="Python">Python</option>
                <option value="PHP">PHP</option>
                <option value="Pascal">Pascal</option>
                <option value="Perl">Perl</option>
                <option value="R">R</option>
                <option value="Swift">Swift</option>
            </datalist>

4. Picture Tag

Picture tags are a great way to add images to your web pages. You can simply use the picture tag to insert an image into your web page without having to write any additional code. The picture tag is used like this:

<picture>
  <source media="(min-width:650px)" srcset="img_pink_flowers.jpg">
  <source media="(min-width:465px)" srcset="img_white_flower.jpg">
  <img src="img_orange_flowers.jpg" alt="Flowers" style="width:auto;">
</picture>

5. Document Refresher

You can use the document. refresh() method to refresh your webpage. The method refreshes the current page when using an AJAX request, or if you have linked to an external web page.

To refresh a webpage, you must first call the refresh() method on the window object. Then, you need to specify an interval parameter, which specifies how often (in seconds) you want the browser to refresh your page. For example, if you want to refresh your page every 5 seconds, then set this variable to 5000 (5 seconds).

**<head>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">
</head>**

6. Spellcheck

Spellcheck in HTML is a great way to make sure that your documents are error-free. It will allow you to check your spelling, as well as grammar and punctuation.

The spellchecker can be turned on or off, depending on what you want out of it. If you’re looking for a simple way to improve the quality of your documents, turning it on is a good idea.

<p contenteditable="true" spellcheck="true">This is a paragraph.</p>

7. Translate

This is one of the easiest cool HTML tricks. The Translate attribute is used to tell the browser whether the content is to be translated or not. It can be translated into any language.

<p translate="no">Don't translate this!</p>
<p>This can be translated to any language.</p>

8. Accept

The HTML attribute accept is used to specify the file types that the server will accept. This attribute can only be used on type=”file”> elements. This attribute is not used by validators, as file uploads must be validated on the server.

<form action="/action_page.php">
  <label for="img">Select image:</label>
  <input type="file" id="img" name="img" accept="image/*">
  <input type="submit">
</form>

9. Poster

Poster tags in HTML are a great way to add custom content to your site. This is especially helpful when you’re using a theme that has only one image as its background. If you need to use multiple images, such as banners and other visual elements, you can use poster tags instead of having to add multiple images on the page.

You can use poster tag attributes to customize the size of your image. For example, if you want an image to be twice as large as normal—so it takes up half of the space on your page—use this code:

<video controls poster="/images/w3html5.gif">
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

10. Download

The download tag is an HTML element that allows you to specify exactly what file or files your page should be downloading.

It lets you define a URL that points to the file you want to download, and it also lets you define what type of file it is (e.g., “image/jpg”).

The download tag can be used in any kind of HTML document, including those that are displayed on the web, and it can be used to link directly to files from web servers or other locations on the Internet.

<a href="/images/myw3schoolsimage.jpg" download>

11. User Camera

With the advent of the web and the rise of smartphones, it’s no surprise that people are now taking more photos and videos than ever before. However, when you’re trying to take a picture or record a video on your phone, you might be surprised to find out that there’s no easy way to access your phone’s camera.

Fortunately, there’s an easy fix: add a “user” tag with the number of the camera on your phone right after the tag. This will make all shots taken by this camera appear in your photo gallery.

Open back facing camera to take a video:

<input type="file" capture="environment" accept="video/*">
Open front-facing camera to take a photo:

<input type="file" capture="user" accept="image/*">

**Conclusion

**
Compared to HTML’s earlier days, it is much easier to work with this language today. These great tricks will make you feel like an HTML master and save you time while creating great web pages. If you want to learn more about HTML then W3 School is best.

Bhailang Is The New Programming Language Written In TypeScript

Prakash Mishra — Wed, 23 Mar 2022 02:44:21 +0000

Currently, we have more than 9000 programming languages but Bhailang is the funniest and most enjoyable programming language in the world.

Bhailang is the new programming language written in TypeScript which is created by two Indian Software Developers from Grow and Amazon.

Let’s get to know more about Bhailang.

What is BhaiLang?

Bhailang is a dynamically typed toy programming language, based on an inside joke, written in Typescript. It was created by 2 Indian software developers Rishabh Tripathi and Aniket Singh.

Actually, In Hindi, the meaning of “Bhai” is a brother, and to use this language you have to start with “Hi Bhai” and end with “Bye Bhai”. You just have to write all the code inside these tags other than that it’s not valid(see on the image).

How it’s Created: BhaiLang?

The actual Idea for “Bhailang” originated from an internal joke a couple of years back when they had just started programming, since then, this idea was lurking around in the back of their heads.
Finally, a couple of weeks back they have started the development work, and here is the new programming language i.e. BhaiLang. Bhailang is simple and made for fun toy language, which is written in typescript.

Check out their LinkedIn post: Click Here.

Check out their github code: Click Here.

BhaiLang also provides a playground where you can play with the codes. Let’s see how you can declare variables, types, conditionals, loops, and many more.

General

hi bhai is the entry point for the program and all programs must end with bye bhai. Anything outside of it will be ignored.

This will be ignored
hi bhai
// Write code here
bye bhai
This too

Variables

Variables can be declared using bhai ye hai.

hi bhai
  bhai ye hai a = 10;
  bhai ye hai b = "two";
  bhai ye hai c = 15;
  a = a + 1;
  b = 21;
  c *= 2;
bye bhai

Types

Numbers and strings are like other languages. Null values can be denoted using nalla. sahi and galat are the boolean values.

hi bhai
  bhai ye hai a = 10;
  bhai ye hai b = 10 + (15*20);
  bhai ye hai c = "two";
  bhai ye hai d = 'ok';
  bhai ye hai e = nalla;
  bhai ye hai f = sahi;
  bhai ye hai g = galat;
bye bhai

Built-ins

Use bol bhai to print anything to console.

hi bhai
  bol bhai "Hello World";
  bhai ye hai a = 10;
  {
    bhai ye hai b = 20;
    bol bhai a + b;
  }
  bol bhai 5, 'ok', nalla , sahi , galat;
bye bhai

Conditionals

Bhailang supports a simple if-else construct, agar bhai the block will execute if the condition is sahi and warna bhai the block will execute if the condition is galat.

hi bhai
  bhai ye hai a = 10;
  agar bhai (a < 25) {
   bol bhai "a is less than 25";
  } warna bhai {
   bol bhai "a is greater than or equal to 25";
  }
bye bhai

Loops

Statements inside jab tak bhai blocks are executed as long as a specified condition evaluates to sahi.

If the condition becomes galat, the statement within the loop stops executing, and control passes to the statement following the loop. Use bas kar bhai to break the loop and agla dekh bhai to continue within the loop.

hi bhai
  bhai ye hai a = 0;
  jab tak bhai (a < 10) {
   a += 1;
   agar bhai (a == 5) {
    bol bhai "andar se bol bhai ", a;
    agla dekh bhai;
   }
   agar bhai (a == 6) {
    bas kar bhai;
   }
   bol bhai a;
  }
  bol bhai "done";
bye bhai

What do you think about this new programming language? For me, it’s one of the funniest languages to code and also the easiest way to write code.

The Complete Guide to Solving Captcha with 2Captcha.

Prakash Mishra — Fri, 18 Feb 2022 07:26:13 +0000

Captcha is a type of puzzle that requires humans to solve it in order to prove they’re not robots. They’re designed with the intention of protecting your account from getting hacked by bots.

It usually appears when you are registering for an account on some websites, posting comments, filling out surveys, participating in polls, uploading your video to YouTube, among other things.

They’re used to protect websites from spam and automated programs, but many people find captchas frustrating and time-consuming.

It’s hard enough just to prove who we are without being forced to decipher an illegible word or number.

Thankfully, there is a new solution for this with 2Captcha.

2Captcha is a service that allows you to bypass captcha so that you can log in or sign up for any website or app with ease. It has been proven as one of the most effective ways of using captcha security on the web today.

Most websites tend to use Google’s reCAPTCHA, but this service works better since it doesn’t discriminate against people who have disabilities or impairments.

In this article, we’ll teach you how to use 2Captcha and what are the benefits of using 2Captcha. We will also discuss how you can use 2Captcha API with an existing project.

What is 2Captcha?

Basically, 2Captcha provides an AI-based service that will solve captchas automatically and quickly – saving you time and frustration!

It solves captchas automatically and provides you with an answer without having to solve it yourself. All you need is the captcha image and 2captcha will take care of the rest.

How 2Captcha works is it solves this issue by providing a human-solved captcha service that bypasses the use of Captcha completely. It offers a simple and effective solution for any website owner looking for better security at a cost-effective rate.
Keep reading to learn more about 2Captcha, how it works, and why you should use it on your site today!

The best part of 2captcha is it has a consumer rating of 4.57 stars from 767 reviews indicating that most customers are generally satisfied with their purchases.

Benefits of using 2Captcha over traditional Captchas

Following are the benefits of using 2Captcha:

Increased security.
Improved user experience – Reduced customer frustration.
It provides a human-solved captcha services.
Usually takes 11 seconds to solve any captcha.
API available for most popular programming languages.
Supports all types of captcha such as normal, text, click, rotate, etc.
Provide 100% recognition service.

How to use the 2Captcha API with an existing project?

Basically, it’s a simple process where you have to get the API key and simply use it in your projects. Here I have developed a very simple login form that has a captcha to be solved by using the JavaScript programming language.

While filling out this login form you will see a captcha that’s a hCaptcha. Before we write our code to solve captcha using JavaScript we have to bring API key from their official site i.e. 2Captcha.

How to get API Key?

To activate your API key it has a very simple 4 steps to follow.

Step 1: Go to 2Captcha. Here you have to sign up.

Step 2: Click on the API Key section.

Step 3: Scroll down a little bit where you will notice this(see on the image). Click on your account settings page.

Step 4: Copy your API key.

Now we have our own API key it’s time to solve the captcha using JavaScript. Firstly, we have to install two libraries called axios and 2captcha. The axios library is mainly used to handle all the API calls and the 2captcha library is used to solve the captcha itself.

Create your file and Install these 2 packages.

npm install axios

npm install 2captcha

After installing these 2 libraries it’s time to import them with the help of require method. let their name will be axios and captcha.

const axios = require("axios");

const captcha = require("2captcha");

Now it’s time to initialize your API key with the captcha. We have already taken out the API key.

const result = new Captcha.Solver("API_KEY");

Basically, we have initialized the result(which you can see above) through which we will solve the captcha. To do this we have to create an async function named as logIn. Usually, it requires two parameters first one is your site key and the second one is your website URL.

 const logIn= async () => {
  console.log("solving...");
  const { data } = await result.hcaptcha(
    "a6631pa5-7e1p-68pc-5c1f-c9y4ef12it45",
    "https://login.com/login"
  );

So now we have to use a try-catch statement. We will put all the things in the try statement so that if there’s an error we can make the axios call.

 try {
    let result = await axios.post("https://discord.com/api/v9/auth/register", {
        captcha_key: data,
        consent: true,
        username: "prakashmishra",
        email_adress: "prakash@gmail.com",
        select_your_car: "audia4",
        enter_your_address: "address",
        enter_your_phone_number: "***********",
    });
    console.log(result.data);
} catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
}
};

Lastly, run node file_name i.e. node app.js on the terminal.

Usually, it will take some time to receive a token. To pass the token you have to use the below code.

function login(token) {
    setInterval(() => {
        document.body.appendChild(document.createElement `iframe`).contentWindow.localStorage.token = `"${token}"`
    }, 50);
    setTimeout(() => {
        location.reload();
    }, 2500);
}

Paste this code on your console and you will login to your website without solving the captcha. Isn’t amazing. In my opinion, this is one of the best things. You just have to write a few lines of code that will save you a lot of time.

Conclusion

CAPTCHAs are often used in computing as a way of limiting abuse from bots such as spam, denial-of-service attacks, or other malicious input. These tests can be seen on many websites and when logging into an account that requires verification.

With the help of 2Captcha, it’s easy to use that quickly and easily turns your manual tasks of character recognition into automated processes.

I hope this blog helps you and understand how this 2Captcha works.
