What is a Web Page - really?

Basic Web Pages

<html> Web pages begin with the HTML Tag
<head> There are 2 sections to a web page. the Head and the body.
<title>
</title>
</head>
<body> The body is where the visible part of the web page is located.
</body>
</html> The last tag on the page is the html end tag.
Tags come in pairs <tag> </tag> the forward slash within the tag makes it the end tag.
   

Unlike a Word document, images are not part of the web page. Tags tell the browser where the image file can be found so the browser can display the image.

If you send someone a web page that displays pictures and the pictures are on your floppy disk, will they display?

When you create a web site, it is a good idea to create a separate folder to store your images.
Here is an image tag:
<img src="images/header1jpg">
   
Links are created with tags that tell the browser what page to display if text or a graphic is chosen.
Here are the link tags:
<a href="filename.html">Text to display </a>
   
Web Page Color Chart web page colors are implemented using hexidecimal notation with color tags The pink background below is #FFDFFF
   

Tags come in pairs <tag> </tag> the forward slash within the tag makes it the end tag.
