HTML-programering


Contents


HTML = HyperText Markup Language. HTML is a programing language that makes the WWW work the way it does.

In order to see something in HTML you have to have a Web browser, like Netscape. There are other Web browsers too. Microsoft has one that is trying to compete with Netscape.

If you see a real nice Web page somewhere you can grab the program code (the HTML-code) that makes it look like it does. Then you can use the code in your own page.

Here is how you go about doing it:

  1. You are looking at the page you like. Look up at the Netscape button bar. You see a button that says: View. Click on it.
  2. go to Document Source.
  3. Now you can see all the program code that makes the page look the way it does. You can mark the text you want to save with your mouse and save it on your computer. Later on you can examine it and try some of the HTML-tricks that you found there!
  4. go to Edit
  5. go to copy.
  6. What you´ve done is copy the HTML-code to windows clipboard. Now you need to open write, word perfect or whatever and select Edit and then Paste. Now you have it. Save it in ASCII-DOS format with a file name ending in .htm.

    When you want to program in HTML you can use the file. It is not illegal to do so. Nobody owns program code on the WWW.

What about illustrations and pictures? No problem, you can grab them too.

Put your mouse on top of the picture or illustration and click with the right mouse button. You can now choose to save as. Give it a name and place it on your hard disk.
