    Required HTML Tags

    Now that we've covered the rules of HTML, we're ready to start coding. To illustrate just what HTML code does, we're going to build a simple page for the fictitious company 20 Watts.

    There are certain tags you need to put in every HTML document to set it up as a Web page. Begin by opening a new document in your text editor.

    <HTML> is the first tag to appear on every Web page. Add the opening and closing tags to your page like this:

    <HTML>
    </HTML>

    All of the page's code will be placed between these two tags, which tell a Web browser it's reading an HTML document.

    Below the opening <HTML> tag, enter the <HEAD> tag, which contains information about the document but doesn't appear on the Web page. Your document should now look like this:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    </HEAD>
    </HTML>

    There are several tags that can go between <HEAD> tags--for example, you'll regularly come across <META> tags that help search engines categorize pages--but the only tag that's required is the <TITLE> tag, which puts text in the browser's title bar. Your document should now resemble the example below (remember: First on, last off):

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>20 Watts
    </TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    </HTML>

    Now you're ready to add opening and closing <BODY> tags. Your document should now look like this:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>20 Watts
    </TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>

    Everything that appears inside the Web page will go between the <BODY> tags.

    Our page doesn't look like much so far, does it? All you see is the name "20 Watts" in the browser's title bar above a blank page. Don't worry; we're just getting started. Save your file in text format with the filename index.html (or index.htm if you're still using Windows 3.1), and we'll start to make things more interesting.
