Main HTML Ideas
|
Getting Started |
Any text editor can be used to create an HTML document
and any browser to render, but we will use FrontPage and Internet
Explorer 8 or later.

Balanced Tags |
HTML uses balanced tags to mark text for special treatment.
<b>Bold</b> makes the text Bold.
The <b> starts and the </b> ends the marked area. |
Nested Tags |
Markup tags can be nested: <b>B<i><u>ol</u>d</i></b> produces Bold. |
Hyperlink
|
Links or references to areas of the same or other documents
is the fundamental power of HTML.

Tables
|
Tables are the main means of organizing text into an
identifiable grouping on a HTML page. A table consists of three main
definition tags:

Forms
|
Forms provide a way for the user at a browser to send data
back to the server.
If you think about it, the browser already sends requests for files to the server and the server responds by sending the file back (or a cryptic error message if not found). A form just adds some data to that request. We have already seen how the Yahoo! server can be sent search data in an URL, in either HTML or entering as part of the location directly: <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=IUS">
