A
basic web page
A web page
is essentially made up of two sections. The first is
the head,
which contains the title and meta tags (all will be
explained in due course) and the second is the body, which contains
the actual contents of the web page.
The basic structure of a web page
is shown below...
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> ... </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
...
</BODY>
</HTML>
A web page begins with the tag <HTML> and ends with the tag </HTML>. The head section is enclosed between the tags <HEAD>
... </HEAD> while the
body
section is enclosed by the tags <BODY>
... </BODY>. Within the
head
section, the tags <TITLE> ...
</TITLE> must appear! (this is where the title of your
web page should be written).
OK, it's time to write your first
web page! Copy the example below into your text editor,
you may substitute your own title, text and name if
you wish :-)
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>This is my first web page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Welcome to my first web page :-)
</BODY>
<ADDRESS>
This page was written by Matthew Bacon
</ADDRESS>
</HTML>
In the example above, a new pair of
tags have been introduced (<ADDRESS> and </ADDRESS>). Your name and contact details, should appear
between these tags (no particular reason, it is just
polite!). |
