HTML Editors |
One of the first steps to creating a good HTML document is using a good HTML editor. I use Arachnophilia. You may use Microsoft Front Page, HotDog Web Editor, etc. |
|
A HTML document has to be presented between the HTML tags. |
<HTML> Here is all the rest of the document, including any elements. </HTML> |
|
The head of an HTML document is an unordered collection of information about the document. The <HEAD> and </HEAD> elements do not directly affect the look of the document when rendered. |
<HEAD> ................................................... </HEAD> |
|
Every HTML document must have a Title element. The title may be used in history lists, or as a label for the windows displaying the document. The Title element must occur within the head of the document. Only one title is allowed in a document. |
<HEAD> <TITLE> Introduction to HTML</TITLE></HEAD> |
|
The body of a HTML document contains all the text and images that make up the page, together with all the HTML elements that provide the control/formatting of the page. The BACKGROUND attribute can be used to point to an image file that will be tiled across the browser window, to provide a background for the document. The BGCOLOR attribute, allows setting of the background colour for the document. BGCOLOR="#rrggbb" ; "#rrggbb" is a hexadecimal red-green-blue triplet used to specify the background colour.TEXT This attribute is used to control the colour of all the normal text in the document.VLINK stands for visited link, and ALINK stands for active link. The default colouring of these is: LINK=blue (#0000FF), VLINK=purple (#400040), and ALINK=red (#FF0000)
