How to test the home page above:

[1] Copy the codes from <HTML> to </HTML> into a new file using the Windows Notepad or a HTML editor.

[2] Save the file with whichever name but with the extension .htm or .html in a computer folder (suggested name for the folder: BasicHTML) specially created for holding this course test files.

Suggestion for the name of the file: AATestXXX.htm where XXX is the number at the top of this screen. The double "A" will put the file name at the top of the list in the folder, making it easier to locate.

[3] Open the file by means of any browser to get the following home page, supposing it has been made the download of the file BGWite.jpg as required in the Lesson 104:

Note the following remarks:

  1. The tag <PRE> is used in home pages where the text (mainly those of academic and scientific nature) and its arrangement are more relevant than the appearance of the page, where the author uses the normal resources of line break, tabulation and space of the keyboard, without concern for the tags of the HTML.
