This tag lets you link some of your text to another page. It works by surrounding the text that you want to become a link, like this: click here. ul/ol. Stand for 'unordered list' and 'ordered list' – used to say that a list follows. The only difference is that ul uses bullet points while ol uses numbers. li.

These are the most useful tags, but for a full reference, you might like to visit www.w3schools.com/tags. Chapter 19: 5 Steps to Understanding HTML. HTML is a relatively simple language, but that doesn't stop people from having problems with it. Why is that? It's mainly because, while the HTML tags themselves are easy, creating an HTML document that works as intended on a web server requires you to know a few extra things that aren't often explained. Here, then, is a guide to understanding those parts of HTML that they just don't tell you about in the books. Step 1: Understand Doctypes. It isn't often noted that valid HMTL documents don't actually start with the tag – they have one extra tag before it. This is the doctype, and it must be present right at the top of your document for it to be valid HTML. There are only really two doctypes that you really need to know about. The HTML4 doctype looks like this:
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> HTML5 doctype looks like this: The XHTML one looks like this: These versions of the doctypes that are a little more forgiving – if you're a purist, you can use the strict ones instead by changing the words 'transitional' and 'loose' to 'strict'. But what is the doctype for? Well, its purpose is simple enough: it tells web browsers exactly what version of HTML your page was written in, to help them to interpret it correctly. Step 2: Understand HTTP Errors. A truly shocking number of people writing HTML pages don't know how HTTP works – and they quickly run into trouble because of it. HTTP is the way a web browser communicates with a web server, and this communication includes information about your pages, such as cookies. You don't need to worry too much about the internals of HTTP, but it's worth knowing that it works by the browser sending a request to the server for a certain page, and the server then responding with a code. Your website should be set up to handle error codes well. For example, a 404 (page not found) error should show a page with links to the most useful parts of your site. Other common error codes include: 200 - OK 301 - Page moved. 403 - Forbidden (no authorization to access). The Web Design Guide for Newbies |45
