HTML Tags
HTML has hundreds of defined tags. We will look at a few of the most useful.
-
<head> - holds elements that are not visible on the rendered page.
The head is a container for browser title-bar caption, meta-data,
script subroutines and functions, and styles. The head may also contain
links to separate stylesheets.
-
<body> - holds elements that are visible to the user.
The body is a container for paragraph headings and text, lists, tables, links,
images, scripts, and activeX controls.
-

-
<div> - selects a block, that may include lower level elements,
