Is it necessary to write HEAD, BODY and HTML tags?
(6 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
Recently I created a demo webpage using HTML which contains an unordered list.
My code is:
<Html>
<Head>
<Title>Demo</Title>
</Head>
<Body>
<Ul>
<Li>one
<Li>two
<Li>three
</Ul>
</Body>
</Html>
But if I do only this:
<Ul>
<Li>one
<Li>two
<Li>three
</Ul>
and save it with a .html extension then both gives the same result. So what is the use of <html> tag?
The HTML tag tells the browser that the document is HTML. The reason that works without it, is because your browser is smart enough to see you have HTML there and fill in with the missing tags.
But sometimes if you have a more complicated document it may not know how to fill the blanks and other browsers may not have that functionality. So, always use the html, head and body tags.
The html tag will tell browsers it is going to be html and not xml.
However your browser will interpret it as html anyways, so even the Google style guide for HTML will tell you to Omit it.
The tag tells the browser that this is an HTML document. The tag represents the root of an HTML document. The tag is the container for all other HTML elements (except for the tag).
It is necessary for you to write or , as it acknowledges the browser of the scripting language or else complex codes on older browsers can not be interpreted.
I have been working in Html from past 3 years.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
this is a template for HTML. In head tags we set char set which is important as well as a Title for web page. Also, inside head there can be written other useful tags or can be linked bootstrap. This is a template you have to create when you start an HTML document. Your code fine without HTML structure but when your code will grow is size and get more complicated you will have errors in your code
Your Browser automatically add
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
............
</body>
</html>
That's why You don't see the difference.
If you check this Right Click on browser->Click Inspect
Then you will see that

I am new to HTML and started with my first lesson.
I am unable to understand the head tag clearly and need help to understand it clearly.
As I read about the head tag, it says "The head of an HTML document is the part that is not displayed in the web browser when the page is loaded."
However when I try in my lab exercise with the below code in my html file, the content inside the h1 tag that is within the head tag is displayed in the web browser, which is confusing me as I was expecting that, whatever I write inside the head tag will not be displayed in the browser, as per what I read. Can someone give me clarity on this.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>First Lesson</title>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
Modern HTML is very tolerant. You can now get away with not closing tags, or even no tags at all (remove the <h1> tags and "hello world!" will still be displayed) You could put the <title> in the body and it will still be displayed in the browser tag.
Although it still works, it is incorrect and fails HTML markup validation.
Any of the tags that meant to be in the head <title> <style> <base> <meta> etc. Won't be displayed on the page.
Html tag head contains machine-readable information, which not displayed, like metadata, scripts, styles. He also inherits all of the properties html element and browser parse him, like common html tag. More information: link, link

How to link a CSS file from HTML file?
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I am extreme beginner and I have this dumb problem.
So I wrote a css file and html file.
HTML :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<img
src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/67/b2/a9/67b2a9ba5e85822f237caae92111e938.gif"
width="300" id="para1">
<p>Paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
I did this for my css file
p {
color: red;
}
When I save and refresh my website, the html shows up.
The css doesnt show up like the paragraph doesnt change red. I also want to change the position of the image.
Please help!
I also want to know about indenting please.
Also should for website developing, should I learn css and html at the same time, or like html for 1 year, and then css for one year, because im learning javascript like in a 2 years, next year.
You must tell your HMTL page where to find your CSS.
To do that you have to add link tag into your head tag using:
<head>
<link href="/path/to/your/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<link>: The External Resource Link element
The HTML element specifies relationships between the current
document and an external resource. This element is most commonly used
to link to stylesheets, but is also used to establish site icons (both
"favicon" style icons and icons for the home screen and apps on mobile
devices) among other things.
Take a look at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/link
In your case if your css file named style.css and your index.html file are on the same folder, your html should look like that:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/67/b2/a9/67b2a9ba5e85822f237caae92111e938.gif" width="300" id="para1">
<p>Paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
The HTML element contains machine-readable information
(metadata) about the document, like its title, scripts, and style
sheets.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/head
If you want to use inline css you have to put your <style> tag between your <head> tag to make it processed by HTML.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
p {
color: red;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<img src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/67/b2/a9/67b2a9ba5e85822f237caae92111e938.gif" width="300" id="para1">
<p>Paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
Also should for website developing, should I learn css and html at the
same time, or like html for 1 year, and then css for one year, because
im learning javascript like in a 2 years, next year.
Well, HTML, CSS & JS are the fabric of the front end so my advice is why not all three at the same time? They each compliment each other and after 3 years studying you will have understood more about them than focusing your time and energy learning each as separate entities.
Think of HTML as your initial sketch (your structure), CSS as painting your sketch (your make-up and beautifier), and JS as making your painting come to life (your functional and interactive parts). Simply put, it's more fun with working with all 3

How to display raw HTML code on an HTML page
(30 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
My website is a simple educational one. I want to display HTML code in my web page in a formatted way like they look in a editor. I mean to say the HTML tags should appear in a different color from remaining text etc. This is a code snippet from another website. I want the output of my web page like this:
This is my code :-
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="code">
<xmp>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>HTML Tutorial</title>
</head>
<body>
This is a simple HTML page
</body>
</html>
</xmp>
</div>
</body>
</html>
How can I achieve desired behavior in my web page. I thank you all for your efforts.
The most vanilla way to do this and have HTML show up as actual content on your webpage is by wrapping you HTML markup you want to display inside of ' <pre> ' tags.
Then you would need to use HTML entities to show the special characters you need, an open bracket is
<
and a closing bracket is
>
You can also use a plug-in to help aid in making your code look nice, like for syntax highlighting and more. A pretty nice javascript plug-in can be found here http://prismjs.com/
Use appropriate HTML markup. Don't use <xmp>, which isn't in HTML.
Use <pre> to indicate that white space is significant
Use entities for characters with special meaning in HTML (e.g. <)
Use <code> to mark up code (e.g. <code class="html tag start-tag"><title></code>).
Apply CSS for the colours you want. The <code> elements give you something to target.
If you're using Prism as suggested by #JustSomeDude, you might want to use the Unescaped Markup plug-in so that you do not need to use the special characters like < to display your HTML tags.
I want to be able to make code show up on my website so that it shows up with the code on the webpage instead of using it as code in the HTML file itself.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Hello World</p>
</body>
</html>
Instead of:
Hello World
I know I explained that horribly but I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from. Can you escape in HTML? Or is there a tag that allows for HTML code to be viewed as text on a webpage?
xmp tag
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<xmp><p>Hello World</p></xmp>
</body>
</html>
keep in mind that xmp tag is considered obsolete, as far as I know it is still supported by most browser but your mileage may vary.
you are safer if you use <pre> and escape html code with < and > like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<pre><p>Hello World</p></pre>
</body>
</html>
There is similar question answered on this link: Display HTML code in HTML
In addition, have a look at the following websites
https://craig.is/making/rainbows
https://highlightjs.org/
You can use the xmp property. Anything inside the xmp that is exempted by the browser while rendering the HTML code.
Example :
<xmp><h1>Heading</h1></xmp>
When I have a simple HTML markup like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>lawl</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
When viewing the elements of the document, in the Chrome Deceloper Tool(F12) it looks likes this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>lawl</title>
<style type="text/css"></style> <-- what the?
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
So, my question goes: Where does the style tag come from? What added it, and why?
Hope you guys can clear this up for us, it's been quite the subject the last 10 minutes in class ;-). Also worth mentioning; a class got added to a empty div in another document when the teacher tried it.
Edited title.
Chrome plugins can get access to your DOM, and so does the development tools. In this particular case, I think the development tools is the one to blame.
The empty style tag is probably a placeholder for injected CSS.
If you open the source code (view-source:www.example.com), you will see that your DOM is perfectly fine.
99:1 that the <style> element is a stylesheet injected by your AdBlock (or similar) extension.
