HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language. That sounds complicated, but all it means is that it's normal text (just like on a typewriter) just "marked up" so that one document can "hyperlink" to another (hence the word "hypertext"). The "marking up" consists of little formatting commands called tags.
What are tags?
Tags surround a particular word or bunch of words to tell the Web browser what special formatting to do. For example, the simplest tags can make a word or group of words underlined:
Look! These < u >words in the middle of this sentence< / u > are underlined!
Comes out on the screen like this:
Look! These words in the middle of this sentence are underlined!
Notice that the < u > tag seems to mean "underline everything after this" and that the < / u > tag means "stop underlining." Nearly every HTML tag comes in pairs like this�one starts a certain formatting, the other stops that formatting.
Okay, so how do I write in HTML?
Essentially, you write just like you would normally, just every time you want words to look differently, you put tags around them. Because it�s hard to remember what tag does what, here are a few basic references you should keep handy:
How do I make my scroll bar a different color?
(you must remember to spell it "color")
Here is a simple code to use for a coloured scroll bar
This code will make the scroll bar the same colour as this one, black scroll bar with a white arrow.
Change the colours by getting a new hex code from the chart, and then paste the code to your page.
A lot of people add a tracking colour and a 3d bit, I think its a waste of code and time, it looks perfectly ok without them.
