Pages

HTML tags

We  already dealt with some tags such as head , meta and title tags in the previous page. But what exactly are HTML tags ? Just like in magazines as different sections of a page consist of different elements such as heading , sub-heading , text ,pictures etc. Similarly , to define the layout of our page to the computer we use HTML tags that define different sections of the page and their elements such as heading , sub-heading ,columns as well as the text , images within these sections .



<div>

div-division .This tag groups related content .A particular division <div> can be uniquely identified by providing it an id .
e.g.

<div id="1">

But if we have more than one divisions of similar type we also specify a class .
e.g.

<div class="xyz" id="1">



anchor element

<a>

e.g.

For more information, visit <a href="http://xyz.org/">xyz</a>


href - hyperlink reference . This points to the destination page .

In this case xyz will be underlined or linked . While clicking on this link the user will be directed to page http://xyz.org/ .
