A. HTML pages are designed with HTML codes in the document. These codes are called Tags. HTML tags are not CaSe SeNsItiVe and can be in upper or lower (or mixed) case. HTML Tags are enclosed in between the 'Less Than' < sign and the 'Greater Than' > sign. For Instance : <TITLE>.
Most Tags work in pairs. And just like your mom used to always tell you... if you turn the light on, turn the light off when your done. Many tags have to be turned on, then turned off. For instance, when you start your <TITLE> section you have to end it with </TITLE>. Most HTML tags work like this, however there are a number that do not and only need a single tag to work. For instance <HR> <BR> and <IMG> only need a single tag to work.
The basics you need in an HTML document to make it work are the following, and in this layout.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Your Title Here </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
This is my <BR>
FIRST <BR>
Web Page
<HR>
Isn't It GREAT ?
</BODY>
</HTML>
Indentation is used to help you visualize document sections and layout.
The content of your webpage goes into the BODY section. This is information the person viewing your web page will see.
The HEAD section is where most scripts and programming for forms validation and Style Sheets go.
You will notice the HEAD section includes the TITLE section. The TITLE section is the Title that is displayed in the browsers title bar.
