HTML Code

HTML code is the language used by your computer to determine the way a web page appears on your screen. Since typing out each and every code for an entire website is tedious and time consuming, several web page authoring programs have been created. These programs allow you to design a web page as if you were viewing the finished product on the Internet, while simultaneously creating the HTML code. Although these web authoring programs are incredibly useful it is still important to understand how the process of HTML coding works for a few reasons. The first is that if there happens to be a problem with the web page, you can simply right-click and view the entire code for the page. Using this code you can pin point the exact location on the page where the problem is and quickly fix the code and in turn the problem. The second reason why knowing HTML code is important is if you visit a website and like something particular about it that you don't know how to code properly. Again, by opening up the source code you can locate the code that was used to create whatever you find interesting and simply copy the code into your own web page. HTML coding is long and boring to do, but it is something that must be understood by anyone looking to create a web page.
