Nested Elements
This
example contains three HTML elements. The <p> element is nested in the
<body> element, which in turn is nested in the <html> element.
EXAMPLE:
<html>
<body>
<p>HTML Paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
<body> element
The <body> elememt defines the
body of the web page.
EXAMPLE:
<body>
<p>HTML Paragraph</p>
</body>
<html> element
The
<html> element defines the entire web page.
EXAMPLE:
<html>
<body>
<p>HTML
Paragraph</p>
</body>
</html>
ATTENTION:
Don't
forget the end tag. Most browsers will display HTML correctly even if you
forget the end tag, but don't rely on it. But if you forget the end tag this
can produce unexpected errors or results.
EXAMPLE:
<p>HTML Paragraph 1
<p>HTML Paragraph 2
Empty HTML Element
When
HTML element haven't content he's called empty element. This kind of elements
can be closed within the opening tag. <br> is an empty element without a
closing tag. It defines a line break. The only way to close empty element is to
add a slash to the end of start tag.
Lowercase tags
Most
computer languages are case sensitive, but HTML is not one of them. The tag
<P> means the same as <p>. Big number of web sites all over the
world uses uppercase HTML tags.
