Now that you have the basics, how about a little more detail
into what's behind a web page.
- What is HTML?
- Well it stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, and it's a
computer language created for internet browser technology. There
is a standard of HTML governed by the World Wide Web Consortium
or WC3.
-
- How does it work?
- When a page is served up to a browser, the browser program
(such as Netscape) reads each HTML tag and interprets how the
information contained within the HTML is to be displayed.
-
- Is HTML the only internet language?
- No. HTML could be considered the forerunner, but it's not
the only one. There's a new 'bigger and better' language called
DHTML and VRML, Javascript and Java. These are considered to
be advanced languages. There's also JavaScript and Java programming
to add to the confusion. We'll more about these later.
-
- How many tags are there?
- A lot. And more are being added each year. As web technology
matures and advances, HTML tags also increase in functionality.
The following index is list of some of the most common Tags and
their syntaxor parameters that can add to their functionality.
