How to View HTML Source

Have you ever seen a Web page and wondered "Hey! How did they do that?“

View HTML Source Code:

Right-click in an HTML page and select "View Page Source" (in Chrome) or "View Source" (in Edge), or
similar in other browsers. This will open a window containing the HTML source code of the page.
Inspect an HTML Element:

Right-click on an element (or a blank area), and choose "Inspect" or "Inspect Element" to see what
elements are made up of (you will see both the HTML and the CSS).
You can also edit the HTML or CSS on-the-fly in the Elements or Styles panel that opens.
Nested HTML Elements
HTML elements can be nested (this means that elements can contain other elements).
All HTML documents consist of nested HTML elements.
The following example contains four HTML elements (<html>, <body>, <h1> and <p>):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>


<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>
 The <html> element is the root element and it defines the whole HTML document.
 It has a start tag <html> and an end tag </html>.
 Then, inside the <html> element there is a <body> element:
 The <body> element defines the document's body.
 It has a start tag <body> and an end tag </body>.
 Then, inside the <body> element there are two other elements: <h1> and <p>:
 The <h1> element defines a heading.
 It has a start tag <h1> and an end tag </h1>:
 The <p> element defines a paragraph.
