|
| Steps to write a file & view the web page: |
| 1. Open the text editor (e.g. notepad). |
|
| 2. Write the above file in it OR copy the above file and paste it on the notepad. |
|
| 3. Save this file as .htm or .html file extension (e.g. <filename>.htm , .html). |
|
| 4. Now open the Internet Browser and open the saved file. |
|
| 5. Now you can see your web page. |
|
| The file starts from an <html> tag and ends with the </html>. <html> tag identifies that it is an HTML file. <html> is also called as open tag and it also need its closed tag which is </html>. Between these tags we will define the Header of the file, so add the <head> tag and below it write to close <head> tag. |

| More to display the Title to the Web Browser use the special tag <title> write here title </title>. Text written between the <title> & </title> tag will be displayed as the header of the your web page. The important tag is <body> tag. Whatever you want to display on the web page you must write it in between <body> & </body>. |
