Please, Need help to explain this Html !!?
Hi, Can you please explain HOW do I do this? Iam trying to learn under the 3schools website. But It says to practice I need to copy and paste on my desktop. Do I just SAVE the actual pages as .html and then go back into them to practice? and is theis the real way I would make my webpages for the real site?
This is what the tutorial says:
Creating Your Own Test Web
If you want to create a test web on your own computer, just copy the 3 files below to your desktop.
(Right click on each link, and select "save target as" or "save link as")
mainpage.htm
page1.htm
page2.htm
After you have copied the files, you can double-click on the file called "mainpage.htm" and see your first web site in action
THANKS!!

Yes, once a file is saved as .html or .htm, it will by default open using a web browser (ie. Internet Explorer). What you see in the browser is what the webpage will look like. To edit it, simply open the .html file using Notepad or Wordpad.
For general purposes you are right about simply saving the files on your computer as .htm or .html. then follow whatever the lesson is they have set in front of you. You can edit them using any text editor and save your changes. If you don’t have something like DreamWeaver I suggest a good free text editor like Boxer.
Once those files are saved on your computer when you open them they will open in your default browser.
If you are not able to register with a hosting company when you are at that point I suggest downloading a free copy of Apache Windows based web server that will have all the peripherals you will need: Apache Server, PHP Script, and MySQL Database. With this on your computer you will not have to upload anything to a hosting company and turn your own computer into a local webserver.
No. Not even close.
You can write html pages and drop them anywhere. You can read them as long as you have a browser on the system.
To set up a website, you need to host a web server (not likely you’ll do that) or but the services of a hosting company. That company has machines running web server applications (like Apache) and you get a certain amount of space and bandwidth based o the level of account you get.
You can then develop your pages and upload them automatically or manually to the site and see them live on line.
There’s more involved to it, but I didn’t want to swamp you with details.
w3schools is giving you the basic foundation for creating pages.
I don’t know what tutorial you’re using, but doesn’t sound like its explaining it well to you. I used Howstuffworks.com
it’s just a test webpage… when you download those 3 files it will open even without a internet connection because the files will be loaded from your computer.
well… if you want to create a website fast and easy you can use website building tools like dreamweaver. but if you want to learn the basics following their tutorials will be helpful.
try these simple html codes. type the codes below on a notepad.
<html>
<head>
<title>my first website</title>
</head>
<body>
Welcome to my first website
</body>
</html>
save it as "first.html" and then open it… those are some of the basic code you need to learn on html.
