The Basic HTML Skeleton
The basic instructions to display a web page can be coded in only a few lines, using four tags.
| By Raouf Allim |
The set of tags for creating a web page are shown below.
| Document Type | <HTML></HTML> | (beginning and end) |
| Title | <TITLE></TITLE> | (place in head section) |
| Header | <HEAD></HEAD> | (descriptive info, such as title) |
| Body | <BODY></BODY> | (contains the text of the page) |
If you type this in your text editor as shown below, and then save the file as first.htm you will be able to open the file in your browser and view the results.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My First Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Creating a web page is as simple as this!!!!
</BODY>
</HTML>
Note that the entire web page must be contained within the <HTML></HTML> pair of tags.
The <HEAD> section contains information about the document, including the title, and the <BODY> section contains your actual text. If you look at the top of the browser window you will see that the title appears there. The title is also the default bookmark for the page, if someone decides to save it as a favorite/bookmark.
