Informational Tags |
|
|
|
Many of the tags in this group don't have an impact on the appearance of the document. These tags are used to provide information to the web server and browser. Tags explained
include: <html>, <head>, <title>, and <body> |
|
|
<html>: Identifies the beginning and end of an html document.
This tag is required, although many browsers are forgiving and will correctly interpret the document without this tag.
|
|
|
<head>: Identifies the beginnig/end of the document header
The header area is used to provide information about the document itself that is used by the server, browser, search tools, etc. It has no affect on the
document. The header can include the following tags: <title>, <base>, and <isindex>.
|
|
|
<title>: Identifies the beginnig/end of the document title.
The title of the document appears on the browsers window bar, and is used by browsers to identify bookmarks and by search engines to catalog documents.
|
|
|
<body>: Identifies the beginning and end of the document body.
All information that is displayed in the browser is placed within the body tags. The various options affect the entire document, except when they are
overridden in specific parts of the document.
