Web Design and Graphics Room. Thread, A basic webpage code for fun

CPS · #1 21st-January-2006, 01:08 PM

Here is a basic web page code that will work on the web.
The only code used is the BR tag to control text lines and
used twice to give a gap between lines.
Its just to show how easy it can be done,
to make a text only web page using one tag only.
Apart from the standard format for a web page to work.
Have a go for fun to see how easy it can be done,
go on to learn other tags to use to improve it if you want.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>

<head>

<!---The title or name of your page goes here
the title will appear in the tool bar--->

<title>Basic Web Document</title>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>

<body>
<!---The content of your page is placed here between the body tags
and will be seen on screen in your browser--->

This is the basic Website page that will work on the Web.

No extra formating Code used except for the BR tag to control the text lines.



The BR tag brakes the line of text, used twice it gives an extra space.

Text is the default text only, no formating code used.




Therefore it is a text only single webpage and is saved as index.htm

Index.htm is always the first page that is looked for by a browser.



To save this template copy and paste into note pad and save as index.htm

Place in mydocuments folder, or better still make a new folder for it.



If you click on it, it will open in your browser as a webpage.

To do your own thing delete my text between the two body tags and add your own.



The content between <---->&lt;!--- does not show---&gt; they are comment tags.


Have a go just for fun, and see how easy it is just with the basic code required.


</body>

Once you are comfortable with the above go to the Archives on the link below.

This gives progressive steps and test pages for adding more html code.
Read the first page on how to view and save the code behind the web page.
