Required HTML Tags

Every Web page is of the form:

<HTML> <HEAD>heading material</HEAD> <BODY>body material</BODY> </HTML>

Because these tags are required they are sometimes not checked for by browsers. Note that the tags occur in pairs, with a slash in the closing tag. The words HTML, HEAD, and BODY may be upper-case or lower-case.

There are several items that can go in the heading, but typically the only item is the title, which is of the form

<TITLE>Jim's Home Page</TITLE>

The title appears in the top of the browser window.

Example: in source form or as rendered by the browser.
