HTML Introduction

HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is used to allow web browsers to decode content that is given in an HTML file. The browser takes the content, and visually shows you what it was given, by order. When I say �By order�, I mean the content/code in the HTML file is coded in a customized order. When messing with HTML, be sure to trial-and-error with other sources. I will be giving source code in the HTML lessons for you to tamper with. You must trial-and-error because that is the only true way to learn HTML. Other than that, you are prepared to take on lesson-by-less. I will be guiding you on standard HTML which will allow you to write standard code. Fun Facts! HTML is NOT a programming language. Programming languages create processes that runs in the backstage of a program. HTML just tells the program what to make your website look like. There are still many Internet Explorer users that use older version. Such as: IE5, IE6, and IE7. That being said; you should always code your HTML in standard form.
Standard HTML � HTML code that will be decoded properly to show the content properly. Nonstandard HTML leads to breaks of elements, and properties. That being said; the visual/layout will look mangled to no end, unless coded properly.
