Lesson 1. 1
Introduction to HTML

The Html language   specifies   how a web page should be displayed in a browser. Using HTML   tags and elements, you can:
  • Control the appearance  of  the page  and content
  •   Publish online document and  retrieve  online  information  using  the  links  inserted in the  HTML document 
  •  Create  on-line forms, which can be used to collect  information  about  the user, conduct transactions  and so  on
  •   Insert objects like audio clips, ActiveX components and Java applet in the  HTML document





The HTML document forms the source code of a web page. When viewed in the editor, the   document is a series of tags and elements that specify how the page is to be displayed. The browser reads the .html file and displays the page according to the specified instructions.

 For example, the following HTML syntax will display the message “My first HTML document

 The browser interprets these instructions and displays the page as seen in Figure 1.3.
