What is HTML?
HTML Tags
The purpose of a web browsers (like Internet Explorer) is to read HTML documents and display them as web
pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page:
<html>
<body>
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
Try it yourself
Example Explained
• The text between <html> and </html> describes the web page
• The text between <body> and </body> is the visible page content
• The text between <h1> and </h1> is displayed as a heading
• The text between <p> and </p> is displayed as a paragraph
Editing HTML
In this tutorial we use a plain text editor (like Notepad) to edit HTML. We believe this is the best way to
learn HTML.
However, professional web developers often prefer HTML editors like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, instead of
writing plain text.
If you just want to learn HTML, skip the rest of this chapter.
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.
We suggest you experiment with everything you learn at W3Schools by editing your web files with a text
editor (like Notepad).
Note: If your first web site contains HTML markup tags you have not learned yet, don't panic. You will learn
much more HTML in the next chapters.

HTML Headings
<h1> defines the largest heading. <h6> defines the smallest heading.
<h1>This is a heading</h1>
<h2>This is a heading</h2>
<h3>This is a heading</h3>
Try it yourself
Note: Browsers automatically adds an empty line before and after headings.
Use the HTML heading tags for headings only. Don't use headings to make something BIG or bold.
Search engines use your headings to index the structure and content of your web pages.
Since users may skim your pages by its headings, it is important to use headings to show the document
structure.
H1 headings should be used as main headings, followed by H2 headings, and less important H3 headings,
and so on.
HTML Comments
Comments can be inserted in the HTML code to make it more readable and understandable. Comments are
ignored by the browser and not displayed.
Try it yourself
Note: There is an exclamation point after the opening bracket, but not before the closing bracket.
Have you ever seen a Web page and wondered "Hey! How did they do that?"
To find out, click the VIEW option in your browser's toolbar and select SOURCE or PAGE SOURCE. This will
open a window that shows you the HTML code of the page.
Headings
This example demonstrates the tags that display headings in an HTML document.
Hidden comments
This example demonstrates how to insert a hidden comment in the HTML source code.
You will learn more about HTML tag attributes in the next chapters of this tutorial.
Tag Description
<html> Defines an HTML document
<body> Defines the document's body
<h1> to <h6> Defines header 1 to header 6
<!--> Defines a comment
HTML Paragraphs
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<p>This is another paragraph</p>
Note: Browsers automatically adds an empty line before and after paragraphs.
Try it yourself
Most browsers will display HTML correctly even if you forget the end tag:
<p>This is a paragraph
<p>This is another paragraph
Try it yourself
The example above will work in most browsers, but don't rely on it. Forgetting the end tag can produce
unexpected results or errors.
Note: Future version of HTML will not allow you to skip end tags.
Use the <br /> tag if you want a line break (a new line) without starting a new paragraph:
Try it yourself
The <br /> tag is an empty tag. It has no end tag like </br>.
You can read more about empty HTML tags in the next chapters of this tutorial.
Even if <br> works in all browsers, writing <br /> instead is more future proof.
Example:
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<hr />
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<hr />
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
Try it yourself
You cannot be sure how HTML will be displayed. Large or small screens, and resized windows will create
different results.
With HTML, you cannot change the output by adding extra spaces or extra lines in your HTML code.
The browser will remove extra spaces and extra lines when the page is displayed. Any number of lines
counts as one space, and any number of spaces count as one space.

HTML Elements
An HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag:
Note: The start tag can have additional information (attributes). See next chapter.
Most HTML elements can be nested (can contain other HTML elements).
<html>
<body>
<p>This is my first paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
<body>
<p>This is my first paragraph</p>
</body>
The <body> element defines the body of the HTML document
The element has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>
The element content is another element (a paragraph)
<html>
<body>
<p>This is my first paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
HTML elements without content are called empty elements. Empty elements have no end tag.
In XHTML, XML, and future versions of HTML, all elements must be closed.
Adding a slash to the start tag, like <br />, is the proper way of closing empty elements, accepted by HTML,
XHTML and XML.
Even if <br> works in all browsers, writing <br /> instead is more future proof.
HTML tags are not case sensitive: <P> means the same as <p>. Plenty of web sites use uppercase HTML
tags in their pages.
W3Schools use lowercase tags because the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends lowercase in
HTML 4, and demands lowercase tags in newer versions of (X)HTML.
HTML Attributes
Attribute Syntax
Examples
border="1"
href="http://www.w3scchools.com"
bgcolor="yellow"
Attributes Example 1:
<table> defines an HTML table. (You will learn more about HTML tables later)
<table border="1">
The border attribute defines a border type for the <table> element.
Attributes Example 2:
<a> defines an anchor (an HTML link). (You will learn more about HTML links later)
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com">
The href attribute provides the link address for the <a> element.
Attributes Example 3:
<body bgcolor="yellow">
The bgcolor attribute defines the background color for the <body> element.
Attribute values should always be enclosed in quotes. Double style quotes are the most common, but single
style quotes are also allowed.
In some rare situations, like when the attribute value itself contains quotes, it is necessary to use single
quotes:
However, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends lowercase attributes/attribute values in their
HTML 4 recommendation
Below is a list of some attributes that are standard for all HTML elements (with a few exceptions):
Styles was introduced with HTML 4, as the new and preferred way to style HTML elements. With HTML
styles, styles can be added to HTML elements directly by using the style attribute, or indirectly by in
separate style sheets (CSS files).
You can learn everything about styles and CSS in our CSS tutorial.
In our HTML tutorial we use the style attribute to introduce you to HTML styles.
HTML Style Examples
style="background-color:yellow"
style="font-size:10px"
style="font-family:Times"
style="text-align:center"
In HTML 4, some tags and attributes are defined as deprecated. Deprecated means that they will not be
supported in future versions of HTML and XHTML.
The message is clear: Avoid the use of deprecated tags and attributes.
Tags Description
Attributes Description
Style Examples:
Background Color
<body style="background-color:yellow">
The new style attribute makes the "old" bgcolor attribute obsolete.
The new style attribute makes the old <font> tag obsolete.
Text Alignment
<h1 style="text-align:center">
The new style attribute makes the old "align" attribute obsolete.
HTML Links
A link is the "address" to a document (or a resource) on the web.
Examples
HTML links
This example demonstrates how to create links in an HTML document.
Hyperlinks can point to any resource on the web: an HTML page, an image, a sound file, a movie, etc.
The HTML anchor element <a>, is used to define both hyperlinks and anchors.
We will use the term HTML link when the <a> element points to a resource, and the term HTML anchor
when the <a> elements defines an address inside a document..
An HTML Link
Link syntax:
Note: The element content don't have to be a text. You can link from an image or any other HTML element.
Visit W3Schools!
The target attribute defines where the linked document will be opened.
The code below will open the document in a new browser window:
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/"
target="_blank">Visit W3Schools!</a>
Try it yourself
Named anchor are not displayed in any special way. They are invisible to the reader.
Example:
<a href="#tips">
Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a>
<a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html_tutorial.htm#tips">
Jump to the Useful Tips Section</a>
Always add a trailing slash to subfolder references. If you link like this:
href="http://www.w3schools.com/html", you will generate two HTTP requests to the server, because the
server will add a slash to the address and create a new request like this:
href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/"
Named anchors are often used to create "table of contents" at the beginning of a large document. Each
chapter within the document is given a named anchor, and links to each of these anchors are put at the top
of the document.
If a browser cannot find a named anchor that has been specified, it goes to the top of the document. No
error occurs.

This example demonstrates how to use an image as a link.
Link to a location on the same page
This example demonstrates how to use a link to jump to another part of a document.
HTML Images
With HTML you can display images in a document.
Examples
Insert images
This example demonstrates how to display images in your Web page.
The <img> tag is empty, which means that it contains attributes only and it has no closing tag.
To display an image on a page, you need to use the src attribute. Src stands for "source". The value of the
src attribute is the URL of the image you want to display on your page.
<img src="url">
The URL points to the location where the image is stored. An image named "boat.gif" located in the directory
"images" on "www.w3schools.com" has the URL: http://www.w3schools.com/images/boat.gif.
The browser puts the image where the image tag occurs in the document. If you put an image tag between
two paragraphs, the browser shows the first paragraph, then the image, and then the second paragraph.
The "alt" attribute tells the reader what he or she is missing on a page if the browser can't load images. The
browser will then display the alternate text instead of the image. It is a good practice to include the "alt"
attribute for each image on a page, to improve the display and usefulness of your document for people who
have text-only browsers.
If an HTML file contains ten images - eleven files are required to display the page right. Loading images take
time, so my best advice is: Use images carefully.

Tables
How to define tables in an HTML document.
Table borders
This example demonstrates different table borders.
Tables
Tables are defined with the <table> tag. A table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag), and each row is
divided into data cells (with the <td> tag). The letters td stands for "table data," which is the content of a
data cell. A data cell can contain text, images, lists, paragraphs, forms, horizontal rules, tables, etc.
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
If you do not specify a border attribute the table will be displayed without any borders. Sometimes this can
be useful, but most of the time, you want the borders to show.
To display a table with borders, you will have to use the border attribute:
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>Row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
Headings in a Table
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Heading</th>
<th>Another Heading</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
row 2, cell 1
Note that the borders around the empty table cell are missing (NB! Mozilla Firefox displays the border).
To avoid this, add a non-breaking space ( ) to empty data cells, to make the borders visible:
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
row 2, cell 1

HTML Lists
HTML supports ordered, unordered and definition lists.
HTML Lists
Try-It-Yourself Examples
Unordered list
Ordered list
Unordered Lists
An unordered list is a list of items. The list items are marked with bullets (typically small black circles).
An unordered list starts with the <ul> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.
<ul>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ul>
• Coffee
• Milk
Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.
Ordered Lists
An ordered list is also a list of items. The list items are marked with numbers.
An ordered list starts with the <ol> tag. Each list item starts with the <li> tag.
<ol>
<li>Coffee</li>
<li>Milk</li>
</ol>
1. Coffee
2. Milk
Inside a list item you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other lists, etc.
Definition Lists
A definition list is not a list of items. This is a list of terms and explanation of the terms.
A definition list starts with the <dl> tag. Each definition-list term starts with the <dt> tag. Each definition-
list definition starts with the <dd> tag.
<dl>
<dt>Coffee</dt>
<dd>Black hot drink</dd>
<dt>Milk</dt>
<dd>White cold drink</dd>
</dl>
Coffee
Milk
White cold drink
Inside a definition-list definition (the <dd> tag) you can put paragraphs, line breaks, images, links, other
lists, etc.

<form>
<input>
<input>
</form>
Input
The most used form tag is the <input> tag. The type of input is specified with the type attribute. The most
commonly used input types are explained below.
Text Fields
Text fields are used when you want the user to type letters, numbers, etc. in a form.
<form>
First name:
<input type="text" name="firstname">
<br>
Last name:
<input type="text" name="lastname">
</form>
First name:
Last name:
Note that the form itself is not visible. Also note that in most browsers, the width of the text field is 20
characters by default.
Radio Buttons
Radio Buttons are used when you want the user to select one of a limited number of choices.
<form>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="male"> Male
<br>
<input type="radio" name="sex" value="female"> Female
</form>
Male

Checkboxes
Checkboxes are used when you want the user to select one or more options of a limited number of choices.
<form>
I have a bike:
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Bike">
<br>
I have a car:
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Car">

I have an airplane:
<input type="checkbox" name="vehicle" value="Airplane">
</form>
I have a bike:
I have a car:
I have an airplane:
When the user clicks on the "Submit" button, the content of the form is sent to the server. The form's action
attribute defines the name of the file to send the content to. The file defined in the action attribute usually
does something with the received input.
Submit
Username:
If you type some characters in the text field above, and click the "Submit" button, the browser will send
your input to a page called "html_form_submit.asp". The page will show you the received input.

HTML Colors
Colors are displayed combining RED, GREEN, and BLUE light.
Color Values
HTML colors are defined using a hexadecimal (hex) notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue
color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (hex 00). The highest
value is 255 (hex FF).
Hex values are written as 3 double digit numbers, starting with a # sign.
#000000 rgb(0,0,0)
#FF0000 rgb(255,0,0)
#00FF00 rgb(0,255,0)
#0000FF rgb(0,0,255)
#FFFF00 rgb(255,255,0)
#00FFFF rgb(0,255,255)
#FF00FF rgb(255,0,255)
#C0C0C0 rgb(192,192,192)
#FFFFFF rgb(255,255,255)
The combination of Red, Green and Blue values from 0 to 255 gives a total of more than 16 million different
colors to play with (256 x 256 x 256).
Most modern monitors are capable of displaying at least 16384 different colors.
If you look at the color table below, you will see the result of varying the red light from 0 to 255, while
keeping the green and blue light at zero.
To see a full list of color mixes when the red light varies from 0 to 255, click on one of the hex or rgb values
below.

A collection of nearly 150 color names are supported by all major browsers.
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has listed 16 valid color names for HTML and CSS:
aqua, black, blue, fuchsia, gray, green, lime, maroon, navy, olive, purple, red, silver, teal, white, and
yellow.
If you want to use other colors, you should specify their HEX value.
Some years ago, when computers supported max 256 different colors, a list of 216 "Web Safe Colors" was
suggested as a Web standard, reserving 40 fixed system colors.
The 216 cross-browser color palette was created to ensure that all computers would display the colors
correctly when running a 256 color palette.
This is not important now, since most computers can display millions of different colors. Anyway here is the
list:
The list below is a complete list of the color names supported by all major browsers.
You can click on a color name (or a hex value) to view the color as the background-color along with different
text colors.
