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:
For the first time in this course, one finds here necessarily nested tags (<DT> and <DD>), in order, between the tags <DL> and </DL> that mark the upper and lower limits of the table.
Necessarily nested tags are also found in designing Tables with which the best effects in a home page are attained, even if the table is not visible, as we will see on the following tests.
