Foil 5 Creating a Web Page

From Introduction to HTML--ECS400 fall 97 ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken *

1 A web page has tags to show the different parts and to identify its purpose on the Web.
2 Each web page is one Unix, Mac or PC file.
3 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.
4 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
    • will go here} . . .
  • </body>
  • </html>
5 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.
