HTML Basic Code Structure


HTML Tag
     The <html></html> tags are indispensable for an HTML document. In fact, the document must have these tags to be an HTML document, by definition.
     Occasionally, you will find modifiers in the HTML tag. These usually indicate the program the programmer used to write the HTML program.
Syntax

<HTML>
   head-items
   body-items
</HTML>


BODY Tag
     The <body></body> tag is where the action is for an HTML document. This contains what people look at when they see your web page.
Syntax

<BODY bgcolor="#rrggbb" background="URL" text="#rrggbb" link="#rrggbb" alink="#rrggbb" vlink="#rrggbb">
