What is HyperText Markup Language- HTML?A web page is written in HyperText Markup Language (HTML). The HTML marks up the various elements of your web page so that Web browsers have instruction on how to put the page together. HTML marks up your text and other elements with 'tags' that define their nature. Any computer should be able to interpret your page design with these tags but the exact layout on the screen will depend on the browser employed and the screen resolution. It is helpful, but not essential, to be aware of what HTML looks like. HTML contains the special codes, called tags, that control the way that a Web browser presents your Web page. Although it is possible to write pages in HTML, we generally employ programs that convert our text and graphics into HTML.
A
web page is developed in two sections. The head section provides the title, and
the META tags. The body section will contain the elements of the Web page that
are seen when a visitor looks at the page.
In HTML a blank page will look like this:
<HTML>
The <HTML> tag tells a Web browser that this is a Web page. The head and body
tags tell the browser where the head and body sections of the page can be
found.
In Frontpage 2003 there is the facility to look at the page you are developing in normal mode, HTML, a split HTML and design view and preview (as seen on your chosen Web browser). The following figure shows the index page for this Web site in split mode:
With Dreamweaver it is similarly possible to show your screen split with the page and HTML view: There is absolutely no need to know how to write in HTML but it is more than interesting to know how your Web authoring program is translating your pages into HTML code.
<title></title> . This tag is
placed in the head section.
<a href=””></a> : The link tag is
one of s. HTML is all about linking documents (web pages) together and as such they form the basis of making the web work.
<table> </table> : The table tag is used
to create tables. I Inventive HTML designers started to use them to format the entire web page by inserting not only text but images as well into tables. It has been estimated that 99% of web pages are formatted using tables.
<tr></tr>
<td></td>
<table width=# or %>
<hl></hl>
<b></b>
<i></i>
<a href="mailto:EMAIL"></a>
<p></p>
<p align=?>
<br>
<ul></ul>
<img src="name">
<img src="name" align=?>
<img src="name" border=?>
<form></form>
<select multiple name="NAME" size=?></select>
<input type="checkbox" name="NAME">
<input type="radio" name="NAME" value="x">
The Robots META tag is a tag to tell a robot if it is ok to index this page or not. It is used to invite a spider to walk down through all your pages and i There are four directives that can be placed in a robots meta tag. The CONTENT section of the meta tag can contain: index,noindex,follow,nofollow and are separated by commas. The four options are:-
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX,FOLLOW">
