Basic HTML



There are many online tutorials on using HTML. The link below is to an excellent site that steps you through creating a basic page.






Work through the first four pages – Home, Introductions, Elements, Basic Tags.



Use the tutorial and NOTEPAD to create a page displaying the following elements;



  • Headings-
  • <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
  • <h1>This is heading 1</h1>
    <h2>This is heading 2</h2>
    <h3>This is heading 3</h3>
    <h4>This is heading 4</h4>
    <h5>This is heading 5</h5>
    <h6>This is heading 6</h6>
  • </body>
    </html>
  • Background colours-
  • <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
  • <p style="background-color:#FFFF00">
    Color set by using hex value
    </p>
  • <p style="background-color:rgb(255,255,0)">
    Color set by using rgb value
    </p>
  • <p style="background-color:yellow">
    Color set by using color name
    </p>
  • </body>
    </html>
  • Paragraph break
  • <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
  • <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  • </body>
    </html>



The text on your page must be used to explain;



  • The function of the Header, Title and Body sections
  • The meaning of HTML
  • The basic tags you have used to create the page



Note: you must save your file as “.htm”  - this will enable the browser to view the page.
