A web page has tags to show the different parts and to identify its purpose on the Web.
|
Each web page is one Unix, Mac or PC file.
|
The top level file (sometimes called the "home page" is usually named "index.html". You can actually call it anything.html, but if it's index.html, your URL can be shorter.
|
The text of each web page is surrounded with html, head, body and title tags:
- <html>
- <head>
- <title>The Oriental Rug Company in Syracuse NY</title>
- </head>
- <body>
- . . . {all your other html, text, links and images
- </body>
- </html>
|
The title does not actually appear in your homepage, but is an English version of your URL - it serves as a identifier to the WWW. Browers can show the title of the page they are viewing in the header bar and save it in the bookmarks.
