To start developing HTML we first need an HTML editor. I will be using Dreamweaver for
-
this tutorial, but any regular text editor will do. Either way, we first start off by
-
creating an empty web document, which is a plain text file with an html file extension.
-
The HTML part of every website starts and ends with the <html> tag. This element tells
-
the browser that the document contains HTML. Inside the element we find two sections, <head>
-
and <body>, which in turn can contain header and body tags. The header gives information
-
about the document - most importantly we have the page <title> element - and the body is
-
the displayed content of the page. These four elements - <html>, <head>, <body>, and <title>
-
- are required on every webpage.
-
With our document template now complete we can take look at the file with a browser.
-
In Firefox for example, we can see that the page title has appeared on the title bar,
-
and the content of the body is shown on the page. Although the browser has rendered the
-
markup tags to display the page we can still look at the original source markup using the
-
“View Source” function on the browser. To be able to show the rendered page along
-
with the source code I will for the most part use Dreamweaver’s built in browser (F5 to
-
refresh). Another powerful feature of Dreamweaver are code hints (Ctrl+Space), which gives us
-
suggestions when typing tags, attributes, and values. With this as a base we can now
-
go on and explore the various elements of HTML.
