To most people a Web Site is what you see.
A Web Site is an assigned, addressed, and
named portion of disk space
on an accessible server.
The name is a directory (including
subdirectories) containing files.
A
webpage is an HTML file. HyperText Markup Language is the collection of elements,
and attributes
that display the text, and create the links that
deliver the image and sound
files, you see and hear.
HTML tags give
the browser the necessary information it requires to display the page as
designed.
Files, in Directories, on
accessible Servers all over the World, make up the
World Wide Web.
HTML files uploaded to a Server on the Internet, create a Web Site.
Elements in the form of tags, instruct
browsers how to format, and display HTML files.
HTML element names are case
independent.
You can use either upper case, lower case, or both in the same
document.
(Use lower case to maintain compatibility with newer languages.)
Elements can have attributes, and attributes
have values.
Values must be enclosed within guotation marks.
HTML elements come in two varieties, the
empty (open) tag,
which is a one-time formatting construct, and the container
tag.
The container has a beginning tag,
and an ending tag
that turns off the effects of the beginning tag, and its
attributes.
Containers can be nested, or can overlap each other (bad coding).
HTML documents are identified by the HTML
tag.
An HTML document has two main sections - the HEAD, and the BODY.
The HEAD section,
containes the TITLE, and other information read
by the Browser, the Server, and
Search Engines.
The text, hyperlinks, and graphics are placed between the two
BODY tags.
The minimal document must
contain the following tags:
<HTML> <HEAD></HEAD> <BODY></BODY> </HTML>
