 How To Create you Web Page in 7 Steps.Published Date: 2008-04-04 15:36:06 WorkOnInternet.com
In the ideal world, every site would follow the HTML standard, and every browser would display web pages in precisely the same way. Because we don't live in an ideal world, many sites use nonstandard tags that are designed to work with a specific browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. For example, the web-authoring program, Microsoft FrontPage, creates many tags that can only be properly viewed in Internet Explorer. And Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator at times display the exact same web page differently, even though that page may use standard HTML tags. Create You First Web Page HTML follows certain rules as well. These rules are not nearly as complicated as grammatical rules, but if you want a browser to understand the web page you're building, you'll have to follow them. At the heart of these rulesand the core of HTMLare tags. HTML tags tell a browser how to display the elements of a page. The tags themselves aren't displayed, though; those remain invisible to people visiting a site. Open Notepad HTML pages are text files that contain commands that tell browsers how to display pages. So Notepad is a good tool for learning basic HTML, because you can easily create text files with HTML commands in it. To run Notepad, click the Start button, choose Run, type Notepad, and press Enter. Save the File In this exercise, you're going to view the results of what you do in Internet Explorer or another browser. Before you can do that, you need to save your file. Save it and give it an extension of .htm or .html. When you give a file that extension name, a browser such as Internet Explorer recognizes that it's a web page. If you don't give it that extension, you won't be able to view it in a browser, when it's on your own hard disk, or when it's on the Web. Be aware that when you save a file in Notepad, it often insists on a file name ending in .txt. Make sure that when you have your page in Notepad, you select All Files from the dropdown file type list, and choose a filename that ends in .htm or .html. Start Your Tag Tags are put between a < (called a left-angle bracket) and a > (called a right-angle bracket.) There are no spaces between the brackets and the tag. Tags come before the text they affect. So to issue the HTML command that will tell a browser to display boldfaced text, type this before the text: . This is called an opening tag. It doesn't matter if the content of your tag is uppercase or lowercase. So to make text bold, you can type either or . As a general rule, though, it's a good idea to use lowercase, because if you get to advanced web work using something called XHTML, you'll have to use lowercase letters. Type in Your Text The text that the tag affects comes after the tag itself. So type in the text that you want to appear boldfor example, This is boldfaced text. End Your Tag Your HTML should now look like this: This is boldfaced text. Now you need to end the tag, to tell the browser to stop displaying what follows as boldface. So after the text, type in . This second tag is called the closing tag. Closing tags always use the forward slash symbol /. You can think of a set of tags as a container that performs an action on what's inside the container. View Your Page To see the results of what you've done, open Internet Explorer or another browser, and choose Open from the File menu. Click Browse and browse to the folder where you've saved your .html or .htm file. Double-click the file. The file will be displayedand the text in it will be bold.
