Basic HTML

Learn HTML to create Web pages that display applets.

Before you can actually use an applet that you have written, you need to create a Web page
on which to place the applet.
This pages are written in a language called HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
An HTML document describes the contents of a page. A Web
browser interprets the HTML code to determine what to display on the page.
 HTML document does contain all the text that appears on the page, but that text is “marked up” with commands that determine the structure and appearance of the text and determine what will appear on the page in addition to the text.

For you to be able to write write sophisticated modern web pages you need to learn HTML language,while Many aspects of the visual style of a page can be controlled using a language called CSS (cascading style sheets).
Java script  programming language makes web pages to be dynamic and interactive
Interactive web pages often work with programs that run on the Web server,which can be written in Java or in several other languages.
Its fairly easy to write basic web pages using only plain HTML.
Nowdays theres a lot of softwares and programmes which make it possible to create Web pages without ever looking at the underlying HTML code,
It is possible to write an HTML page using an ordinary text editor, typing in all the mark-up
commands by hand, and it is worthwhile to learn how to create at least simple pages in this way.
 
Example
<document-content>

<document-title> is text that will appear in the title bar of the Web browser window when
the page is displayed.
The <document-content > is what is displayed on the page itself. The rest of this section describes some of the things that can go into the <document-content >  section of
an HTML document.
