Some Simple HTML Coding Tips
|
HTML stands for "hypertext markup language".
An HTML file is a pure text file that contains the instructions for browsers to render a web page.
The basic structure of an HTML file is as follows: <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Your Page Title</TITLE> <META name="description" content=""> <META name="keywords" content=""> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#800080"> Material to display goes here. It can be either text or images and can be formatted into tables and other ways. </BODY> </HTML> The elements with the "less than" and "greater than" symbols are called tags. They are the browser rendering instructions. The text of the element between the "less than" symbol and the "greater than" symbol itself does not display. The <META> tags are special instructions to the browser and also do not display on the page. Text and images to be displayed are normally placed between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags. Extra spaces and carrage returns in the HTML file do not affect the page layout. A <br> tag inserts a line break. |
