  1. HTML Forms HTML forms are used to pass data to a server. An HTML form can contain input elements like text fields, checkboxes, radio-buttons, submit buttons and more. A form can also contain select lists, textarea, fieldset, legend, and label elements. The <form> tag is used to create an HTML form: <form> . input elements . </form> HTML Forms - The Input Element The most important form element is the <input> element. The <input> element is used to select user information. An <input> element can vary in many ways, depending on the type attribute. An <input> element can be of type text field, checkbox, password, radio button, submit button, and more. The most common input types are described below. Text Fields <input type="text"> defines a one-line input field that a user can enter text into: <form> First name: <input type="text" name="firstname"><br> Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname"> </form> Note: The form itself is not visible. Also note that the default width of a text field is 20 characters. Password Field <input type="password"> defines a password field: <form> Password: <input type="password" name="pwd"> </form> Note: The characters in a password field are masked (shown as asterisks or circles). Radio Buttons <input type="radio"> defines a radio button. Radio buttons let a user select ONLY ONE of a limited number of choices: <form> <input type="radio" name="sex" value="male">Male<br> <input type="radio" name="sex" value="female">Female </form> Checkboxes <input type="checkbox"> defines a checkbox. Checkboxes let a user select ZERO or MORE options of a limited number of choices. <form> <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">I have a bike<br> <input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">I have a car </form> Submit Button <input type="submit"> defines a submit button. A submit button is used to send form data to a server. The data is sent to the page specified in the form's action attribute. The file defined in the action attribute usually does something with the received input: <form name="input" action="html_form_action.asp" method="get"> Username: <input type="text" name="user"> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> If you type some characters in the text field above, and click the "Submit" button, the browser will send your input to a page called "html_form_action.asp". The page will show you the received input. HTML Form Tags <form> Defines an HTML form for user input <input> Defines an input control <textarea> Defines a multiline input control (text area) <label> Defines a label for an <input> element <fieldset> Groups related elements in a form <legend> Defines a caption for a <fieldset> element <select> Defines a drop-down list <optgroup> Defines a group of related options in a drop-down list <option> Defines an option in a drop-down list <button> Defines a clickable button <datalist> Specifies a list of pre-defined options for input controls <keygen> Defines a key-pair generator field (for forms) <output> Defines the result of a calculation Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  2. Website Layouts Most websites have put their content in multiple columns (formatted like a magazine or newspaper). Multiple columns are created by using <div> or <table> elements. CSS are used to position elements, or to create backgrounds or colorful look for the pages. Note:Even though it is possible to create nice layouts with HTML tables, tables were designed for presenting tabular data - NOT as a layout tool! HTML Layouts - Using <div> Elements The div element is a block level element used for grouping HTML elements. The following example uses five div elements to create a multiple column layout, creating the same result as in the previous example: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <div id="container" style="width:500px"> <div id="header" style="background-color:#FFA500;"> <h1 style="margin-bottom:0;">Main Title of Web Page</h1></div> <div id="menu" style="background-color:#FFD700;height:200px;width:100px;float:left;"> <b>Menu</b><br> HTML<br> CSS<br> JavaScript</div> <div id="content" style="background-color:#EEEEEE;height:200px;width:400px;float:left;"> Content goes here</div> <div id="footer" style="background-color:#FFA500;clear:both;text-align:center;"> Copyright © mrhotfire.com</div> </div> </body> </html> HTML Layouts - Using Tables A simple way of creating layouts is by using the HTML <table> tag. Multiple columns are created by using <div> or <table> elements. CSS are used to position elements, or to create backgrounds or colorful look for the pages. Note:Using <table> to create a nice layout is NOT the correct use of the element. The purpose of the <table> element is to display tabular data! The following example uses a table with 3 rows and 2 columns - the first and last row spans both columns using the colspan attribute: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <table width="500" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color:#FFA500;"> <h1>Main Title of Web Page</h1> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#FFD700;width:100px;text-align:top;"> <b>Menu</b><br> HTML<br> CSS<br> JavaScript </td> <td style="background-color:#EEEEEE;height:200px;width:400px;text-align:top;"> Content goes here</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color:#FFA500;text-align:center;"> Copyright © mrhotfire.com</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> HTML Layout Tags Tag Description <div> Defines a section in a document (block-level) <span> Defines a section in a document (inline) Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  3. HTML Block Elements Most HTML elements are defined as block level elements or as inline elements. Block level elements normally start (and end) with a new line when displayed in a browser. Examples: <h1>, <p>, <ul>, <table> HTML Inline Elements Inline elements are normally displayed without starting a new line. Examples: <b>, <td>, <a>, <img> The HTML <div> Element The HTML <div> element is a block level element that can be used as a container for grouping other HTML elements. The <div> element has no special meaning. Except that, because it is a block level element, the browser will display a line break before and after it. When used together with CSS, the <div> element can be used to set style attributes to large blocks of content. Another common use of the <div> element, is for document layout. It replaces the "old way" of defining layout using tables. Using tables is not the correct use of the <table> element. The purpose of the <table> element is to display tabular data. The HTML <span> Element The HTML <span> element is an inline element that can be used as a container for text. The <span> element has no special meaning. When used together with CSS, the <span> element can be used to set style attributes to parts of the text. HTML Grouping Tags Tag Description <div> Defines a section in a document (block-level) <span> Defines a section in a document (inline) Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  4. The most common HTML lists are ordered and unordered lists: An ordered list: The first list item The second list item The third list item An unordered list: List item List item List item HTML Unordered Lists An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag. The list items are marked with bullets (typically small black circles). <ul> <li>Mr</li> <li>Hot</li> </ul> How the HTML code above looks in a browser: Mr Hot HTML Ordered Lists An ordered list starts with the <ol> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag. The list items are marked with numbers. <ol> <li>Mr</li> <li>Hot</li> </ol> How the HTML code above looks in a browser: Mr Hot HTML Definition Lists A definition list is a list of items, with a description of each item. The <dl> tag defines a definition list. The <dl> tag is used in conjunction with <dt> (defines the item in the list) and <dd> (describes the item in the list): <dl> <dt>Mr</dt> <dd>- hot fire</dd> <dt>fire</dt> <dd>- mr hot</dd> </dl> How the HTML code above looks in a browser: Mr - hot fire Fire - mr hot Basic Notes - Useful Tips Tip: Inside a list item you can put text, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc. HTML List Tags Tag Description <ol> Defines an ordered list <ul> Defines an unordered list <li> Defines a list item <dl> Defines a definition list <dt> Defines an item in a definition list <dd> Defines a description of an item in a definition list Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  5. HTML Tables Tables are defined with the <table> tag. A table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag), and each row is divided into data cells (with the <td> tag). td stands for "table data," and holds the content of a data cell. A <td> tag can contain text, links, images, lists, forms, other tables, etc. Table Example: <table border="1"> <tr> <td>row 1, cell 1</td> <td>row 1, cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>row 2, cell 1</td> <td>row 2, cell 2</td> </tr> </table> How the HTML code above looks in a browser: row 1, cell 1 row 1, cell 2 row 2, cell 1 row 2, cell 2 HTML Tables and the Border Attribute If you do not specify a border attribute, the table will be displayed without borders. Sometimes this can be useful, but most of the time, we want the borders to show. To display a table with borders, specify the border attribute: <table border="1"> <tr> <td>Row 1, cell 1</td> <td>Row 1, cell 2</td> </tr> </table> HTML Table Headers Header information in a table are defined with the <th> tag. All major browsers display the text in the <th> element as bold and centered. <table border="1"> <tr> <th>Header 1</th> <th>Header 2</th> </tr> <tr> <td>row 1, cell 1</td> <td>row 1, cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>row 2, cell 1</td> <td>row 2, cell 2</td> </tr> </table> How the HTML code above looks in your browser: Header 1 Header 2 row 1, cell 1 row 1, cell 2 row 2, cell 1 row 2, cell 2 HTML Table Tags Tag Description <table> Defines a table <th> Defines a header cell in a table <tr> Defines a row in a table <td> Defines a cell in a table <caption> Defines a table caption <colgroup> Specifies a group of one or more columns in a table for formatting <col> Specifies column properties for each column within a <colgroup> element <thead> Groups the header content in a table <tbody> Groups the body content in a table <tfoot> Groups the footer content in a table Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  6. HTML Images - The <img> Tag and the Src Attribute In HTML, images are defined with the <img> tag. The <img> tag is empty, which means that it contains attributes only, and has no closing tag. To display an image on a page, you need to use the src attribute. Src stands for "source". The value of the src attribute is the URL of the image you want to display. Syntax for defining an image: <img src="url" alt="some_text"> The URL points to the location where the image is stored. An image named "ha.gif", located in the "images" directory on "www.mrhotfire.com" has the URL: http://www.mrhotfire.com/images/ha.gif. The browser displays the image where the <img> tag occurs in the document. If you put an image tag between two paragraphs, the browser shows the first paragraph, then the image, and then the second paragraph. HTML Images - The Alt Attribute The required alt attribute specifies an alternate text for an image, if the image cannot be displayed. The value of the alt attribute is an author-defined text: <img src="ha.gif" alt="Big Boat"> The alt attribute provides alternative information for an image if a user for some reason cannot view it (because of slow connection, an error in the src attribute, or if the user uses a screen reader). HTML Images - Set Height and Width of an Image The height and width attributes are used to specify the height and width of an image. The attribute values are specified in pixels by default: <img src="mr.jpg" alt="Mr rock" width="304" height="228"> Tip: It is a good practice to specify both the height and width attributes for an image. If these attributes are set, the space required for the image is reserved when the page is loaded. However, without these attributes, the browser does not know the size of the image. The effect will be that the page layout will change during loading (while the images load). Basic Notes - Useful Tips Note: If an HTML file contains ten images - eleven files are required to display the page right. Loading images takes time, so my best advice is: Use images carefully. Note: When a web page is loaded, it is the browser, at that moment, that actually gets the image from a web server and inserts it into the page. Therefore, make sure that the images actually stay in the same spot in relation to the web page, otherwise your visitors will get a broken link icon. The broken link icon is shown if the browser cannot find the image.

  7. Styling HTML with CSS CSS was introduced together with HTML 4, to provide a better way to style HTML elements. CSS can be added to HTML in the following ways: Inline - using the style attribute in HTML elements Internal - using the <style> element in the <head> section External - using an external CSS file The preferred way to add CSS to HTML, is to put CSS syntax in separate CSS files. Inline Styles An inline style can be used if a unique style is to be applied to one single occurrence of an element. To use inline styles, use the style attribute in the relevant tag. The style attribute can contain any CSS property. The example below shows how to change the text color and the left margin of a paragraph: <p style="color:blue;margin-left:20px;">This is a paragraph.</p> HTML Style Example - Background Color The background-color property defines the background color for an element: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body style="background-color:yellow;"> <h2 style="background-color:red;">This is a heading</h2> <p style="background-color:green;">This is a paragraph.</p> </body> </html> HTML Style Example - Font, Color and Size The font-family, color, and font-size properties defines the font, color, and size of the text in an element: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1 style="font-family:verdana;">A heading</h1> <p style="font-family:arial;color:red;font-size:20px;">A paragraph.</p> </body> </html> The font-family, color, and font-size properties make the old <font> tag obsolete. HTML Style Example - Text Alignment The text-align property specifies the horizontal alignment of text in an element: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h1 style="text-align:center;">Center-aligned heading</h1> <p>This is a paragraph.</p> </body> </html> The text-align property makes the old <center> tag obsolete. Internal Style Sheet An internal style sheet can be used if one single document has a unique style. Internal styles are defined in the <head> section of an HTML page, by using the <style> tag, like this: <head> <style type="text/css"> body {background-color:yellow;} p {color:blue;} </style> </head> External Style Sheet An external style sheet is ideal when the style is applied to many pages. With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire Web site by changing one file. Each page must link to the style sheet using the <link> tag. The <link> tag goes inside the <head> section: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"> </head> HTML Style Tags Tag Description <style> Defines style information for a document <link> Defines the relationship between a document and an external resource Deprecated Tags and Attributes In HTML 4, several tags and attributes were used to style documents. These tags are not supported in newer versions of HTML. Avoid using the elements: <font>, <center>, and <strike>, and the attributes: color and bgcolor. Credits Olympus,Internet&ME. Soon I am gonna make an guide for CSS,C++.....etc....
  8. The HTML <head> Element The <head> element is a container for all the head elements. Elements inside <head> can include scripts, instruct the browser where to find style sheets, provide meta information, and more. The following tags can be added to the head section: <title>, <style>, <meta>, <link>, <script>, <noscript>, and <base>. The HTML <title> Element The <title> tag defines the title of the document. The <title> element is required in all HTML/XHTML documents. The <title> element: defines a title in the browser toolbar provides a title for the page when it is added to favorites displays a title for the page in search-engine results A simplified HTML document: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Title of the document</title> </head> <body> The content of the document...... </body> </html> The HTML <base> Element The <base> tag specifies a default address or a default target for all links on a page: <head> <base href="http://www.mrhotfire.com/shares/"><base target="_blank"> </head> The HTML <link> Element The <link> tag defines the relationship between a document and an external resource. The <link> tag is most used to link to style sheets: <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css"> </head> The HTML <style> Element The <style> tag is used to define style information for an HTML document. Inside the <style> element you specify how HTML elements should render in a browser: <head> <style type="text/css"> body {background-color:yellow} p {color:blue} </style> </head> The HTML <meta> Element Metadata is data (information) about data. The <meta> tag provides metadata about the HTML document. Metadata will not be displayed on the page, but will be machine parsable. Meta elements are typically used to specify page description, keywords, author of the document, last modified, and other metadata. The metadata can be used by browsers (how to display content or reload page), search engines (keywords), or other web services. <meta> tags always goes inside the <head> element. <meta> Tags - Examples of Use Define keywords for search engines: <meta name="keywords" content="HTML, CSS, XML, XHTML, JavaScript"> Define a description of your web page: <meta name="description" content="MxC shares"> Define the author of a page: <meta name="author" content="Hege Refsnes"> Refresh document every 30 seconds: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30"> The HTML <script> Element The <script> tag is used to define a client-side script, such as a JavaScript. The <script> element will be explained in a later chapter. HTML head Elements Tag Description <head> Defines information about the document <title> Defines the title of a document <base> Defines a default address or a default target for all links on a page <link> Defines the relationship between a document and an external resource <meta> Defines metadata about an HTML document <script> Defines a client-side script Defines style information for a document Credits Olympus,Internet,ME. <style>
  9. HTML Hyperlinks (Links) The HTML <a> tag defines a hyperlink. A hyperlink (or link) is a word, group of words, or image that you can click on to jump to another document. When you move the cursor over a link in a Web page, the arrow will turn into a little hand. The most important attribute of the <a> element is the href attribute, which indicates the link’s destination. By default, links will appear as follows in all browsers: An unvisited link is underlined and blue A visited link is underlined and purple An active link is underlined and red HTML Link Syntax The HTML code for a link is simple. It looks like this: <a href="url">Link text</a> The href attribute specifies the destination of a link. Example: <a href="http://www.mrhotfire.com/">Visit MrHotFire</a> which will display like this: Visit MrHotFire Clicking on this hyperlink will send the user to MrHotFire's homepage. Tip: The "Link text" doesn't have to be text. It can be an image or any other HTML element. HTML Links - The target Attribute The target attribute specifies where to open the linked document. The example below will open the linked document in a new browser window or a new tab: <a href="http://www.mrhotfire.com/" target="_blank">Visit MrHotFire!</a> HTML Links - The id Attribute The id attribute can be used to create a bookmark inside an HTML document. Tip: Bookmarks are not displayed in any special way. They are invisible to the reader. Example: <a id="Mr">HotFire</a> <a href="#Mr">HotFire</a> <a href="http://www.mrhotfire.com/doyoulike/it"> Do you like it</a> HTML Link Tags Tag Description <a> Defines a hyperlink Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  10. HTML Text Formatting This text is bold [i]This text is italic[/i] [b]This is computer bold[/b] This is [u]underline[/u] and [s]strikethrought[/s] HTML Formatting Tags HTML uses tags like <b> and <i> for formatting output, like bold or italic text. These HTML tags are called formatting tags (look at the bottom of this page for a complete reference). Note:Often <strong> renders as <b>, and <em> renders as <i>. However, there is a difference in the meaning of these tags: <b> or <i> defines bold or italic text only. <strong> or <em> means that you want the text to be rendered in a way that the user understands as "important". Today, all major browsers render strong as bold and em as italics. However, if a browser one day wants to make a text highlighted with the strong feature, it might be cursive for example and not bold! HTML Text Formatting Tags Tag Description <b> Defines bold text <em> Defines emphasized text <i> Defines a part of text in an alternate voice or mood <small> Defines smaller text <strong> Defines important text <sub> Defines subscripted text <sup> Defines superscripted text <ins> Defines inserted text <del> Defines deleted text HTML "Computer Output" Tags Tag Description <code> Defines computer code text <kbd> Defines keyboard text <samp> Defines sample computer code <var> Defines a variable <pre> Defines preformatted text HTML Citations, Quotations, and Definition Tags Tag Description <abbr> Defines an abbreviation or acronym <address> Defines contact information for the author/owner of a document <bdo> Defines the text direction <blockquote> Defines a section that is quoted from another source <q> Defines an inline (short) quotation <cite> Defines the title of a work <dfn> Defines a definition term Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  11. HTML Paragraphs Paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag. <p>This is a paragraph</p> <p>This is another paragraph</p> Note: Browsers automatically add an empty line before and after a paragraph. Don't Forget the End Tag Most browsers will display HTML correctly even if you forget the end tag: <p>This is a paragraph <p>This is another paragraph The example above will work in most browsers, but don't rely on it. Forgetting the end tag can produce unexpected results or errors. Note: Future version of HTML will not allow you to skip end tags. HTML Line Breaks Use the <br> tag if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph: <p>This is<br>a para<br>graph with line breaks</p> The <br> element is an empty HTML element. It has no end tag. HTML Output - Useful Tips You cannot be sure how HTML will be displayed. Large or small screens, and resized windows will create different results. With HTML, you cannot change the output by adding extra spaces or extra lines in your HTML code. The browser will remove extra spaces and extra lines when the page is displayed. Any number of lines count as one line, and any number of spaces count as one space. Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  12. HTML Headings Headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1> defines the most important heading. <h6> defines the least important heading. <h1>This is a heading</h1> <h2>This is a heading</h2> <h3>This is a heading</h3> Note: Browsers automatically add some empty space (a margin) before and after each heading. Headings Are Important Use HTML headings for headings only. Don't use headings to make text BIG or bold. Search engines use your headings to index the structure and content of your web pages. Since users may skim your pages by its headings, it is important to use headings to show the document structure. H1 headings should be used as main headings, followed by H2 headings, then the less important H3 headings, and so on. HTML Lines The <hr>tag creates a horizontal line in an HTML page. The hr element can be used to separate content: <p>This is a paragraph</p> <hr><p>This is a paragraph</p> <hr><p>This is a paragraph</p> HTML Comments Comments can be inserted into the HTML code to make it more readable and understandable. Comments are ignored by the browser and are not displayed. Comments are written like this: <!-- This is a comment --> Note: There is an exclamation point after the opening bracket, but not before the closing bracket. HTML Tip - How to View HTML Source To find out, right-click in the page and select "View Source" (IE) or "View Page Source" (Firefox), or similar for other browsers. This will open a window containing the HTML code of the page. Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  13. HTML Attributes HTML elements can have attributes Attributes provide additional information about an element Attributes are always specified in the start tag Attributes come in name/value pairs like: name="value" Attribute Example HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. The link address is specified in the href attribute: <a href="http://www.mrhotfire.com">This is a link</a> Always Quote Attribute Values Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes. Double style quotes are the most common, but single style quotes are also allowed. RemarkTip: In some rare situations, when the attribute value itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use single quotes: name='John "ShotGun" Nelson' HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Attributes Attribute names and attribute values are case-insensitive. Newer versions of (X)HTML will demand lowercase attributes. HTML Attributes Reference Below is a list of some attributes that can be used on any HTML element: Attribute Description class Specifies one or more classnames for an element (refers to a class in a style sheet) id Specifies a unique id for an element style Specifies an inline CSS style for an element title Specifies extra information about an element (displayed as a tool tip) Credits Olympus,Internet,ME.
  14. HTML Elements An HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag: Start tag * Element content End tag * <p> This is a paragraph </p> <a href="default.htm"> This is a link </a> <br> * The start tag is often called the opening tag. The end tag is often called the closing tag. HTML Element Syntax An HTML element starts with a start tag / opening tag An HTML element ends with an end tag / closing tag The element content is everything between the start and the end tag Some HTML elements have empty content Empty elements are closed in the start tag Most HTML elements can have attributes Tip: You will learn about attributes in the next chapter of this tutorial. Nested HTML Elements Most HTML elements can be nested (can contain other HTML elements). HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements. HTML Document Example: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <p>This is my first paragraph.</p> </body> </html> The example above contains 3 HTML elements. HTML Example Explained The <p> element: <p>This is my first paragraph.</p> The <p> element defines a paragraph in the HTML document. The element has a start tag <p> and an end tag </p>. The element content is: This is my first paragraph. The <body> element: <body> <p>This is my first paragraph.</p> </body> The <body> element defines the body of the HTML document. The element has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>. The element content is another HTML element (a p element). The <html> element: <html> <body> <p>This is my first paragraph.</p> </body> </html> The <html> element defines the whole HTML document. The element has a start tag <html> and an end tag </html>. The element content is another HTML element (the body element). Don't Forget the End Tag Some HTML elements might display correctly even if you forget the end tag: <p>This is a paragraph <p>This is a paragraph The example above works in most browsers, because the closing tag is considered optional. Never rely on this. Many HTML elements will produce unexpected results and/or errors if you forget the end tag . Empty HTML Elements HTML elements with no content are called empty elements. <br> is an empty element without a closing tag (the <br> tag defines a line break). Tip: In XHTML, all elements must be closed. Adding a slash inside the start tag, like <br />, is the proper way of closing empty elements in XHTML (and XML). HTML Tip: Use Lowercase Tags HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the same as <p>. Many web sites use uppercase HTML tags. Credits:Olympus,Internet,ME.
  15. HTML Headings HTML headings are defined with the <h1> to <h6> tags. <h1>This is a heading</h1> <h2>This is a heading</h2> <h3>This is a heading</h3> HTML Paragraphs HTML paragraphs are defined with the <p> tag. <p>This is a paragraph.</p> <p>This is another paragraph.</p> HTML Links HTML links are defined with the <a> tag. <a href="http://www.mrhotfire.com">This is a link</a> HTML Images HTML images are defined with the <img> tag. <img src="mrhotfire.jpg" width="104" height="142"> Note: The filename and the size of the image are provided as attributes.

  16. Writing HTML Using Notepad or TextEdit HTML can be edited by using a professional HTML editor like: Adobe Dreamweaver Microsoft Expression Web CoffeeCup HTML Editor However, for learning HTML we recommend a text editor like Notepad (PC) or TextEdit (Mac). We believe using a simple text editor is a good way to learn HTML. Follow the 4 steps below to create your first web page with Notepad. Step 1: Start Notepad To start Notepad go to: Start All Programs Accessories Notepad Step 2: Edit Your HTML with Notepad Type your HTML code into your Notepad: <!Doctype HTML <HTMP> <BODY> <H1 my first heading</h1> <p>My first paragraph.</p> </body> </html> Step 3: Save Your HTML Select Save as.. in Notepad's file menu. When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html file extension. There is no difference, it is entirely up to you. Save the file in a folder that is easy to remember, like mrhotfire. Step 4: Run the HTML in Your Browser Start your web browser and open your html file from the File, Open menu, or just browse the folder and double-click your HTML file. Credits Olympus,Internet&ME.
