Introduction to HTML
11/12/08

We will build a basic HTML page today in Notepad and try changing some of the page's properties. This will be a "disk-based" site, as opposed to a published, or Internet site that we will be working on later.

The page that you make will be like the one here. Save it as test.html in whatever folder you use for this course. Be sure to save the Student.jpg image in the same folder.

It's better if we type in the code as we go, though, rather than just copying it. You will have learned the basic structure of a Web (HTML) page, (note the <head> is on top of the <body>), and also the parts of the HTML code:

<tag attribute="value"> ....... </tag>

e.g. <body bgcolor="white"> ....... </body>
