You probably have seen Web pages using a
Web browser. See the following sample Web
page to examine the structure of a general
Web page.
This is a sample Web page: |
![]() |
URL URL is the address of a Web page. title To highlight the title, sometimes images are used. link If you click a link, another page appears. image Web pages can contain GIF images or JPEG images. image with a link If you click an image with a link, another page appears. table Tables are often used for page layout. |
![]() |
Web browser An application for viewing Web pages. Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer are well-known Web browsers. URL An address of a Web page. It usually begins with http://www.... Because each URL is unique, you can access the target URL from anywhere in the world. link A function to jump. If you click text or an image to which a link is set, you jump to another page or another place in the same page. |
If you use Netscape Navigator, select Document source from the View menu. If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer,
select Source from the View menu. HTML language such as the following
sample appears.
If you open the preceding Web page with a text editor instead of a Web browser, you see the following HTML source file: |
![]() |
<IMG...> Indicates an image. <P> and </P> Indicate a paragraph. </P> means the end of paragraph. |
"To create a Web page" is actually
"to prepare a file written in HTML."
Because HTML is a computer language that
consists of many tags, we are not familiar
with HTML in our everyday lives.
Now we come to TopPage. Without any knowledge
of HTML, you can create Web pages or a Web
site easily with TopPage as if you create
documents with a word processor. HTML tags
need not concern you, because the required
tags are automatically embedded into the
document.
