<HTML> Element and Head & Body

<HTML> Element

  • Every HTML document consists of <HTML>…</HTML>.
  • The tag can be written in either <HTML>, <html> or <HtMl>.

 

Head & Body

 Head = <HEAD>…</HEAD>

  • A lot of elements can be put inside the <HEAD> element, for example, <TITLE>, <META> and <LINK>.

 

Title = <TITLE>…</TITLE>
    • A document may have only one title.
    • The <TITLE> element signifies what the page is about.
    • Use a descriptive but succinct title for each page.
    • Keep title short !
    • Do not place any markup tags in title.

X <TITLE><H1>My Web Page</H1></TITLE>

 

Body = <BODY>…</BODY>

  • The <BODY> element follows the <HEAD> section.
  • What you type inside these tags is what you want other people to view.

 

Document Background

To create the document background, there are two interesting ways:

- Use image as a background. <BODY BACKGROUND=graphic file>

- Use attribute to body <BODY BGCOLOR=color code>

<BODY BGCOLOR=color name>

 

Text Color

- This command is used to control the color of all the normal text in the document.

- The format of text is the same as BGCOLOR.<BODY TEXT=color code> or <BODY TEXT=color name>
