Structure

HTML documents have two parts, the head and the body. The head of the document contains the document's title and similar information, and the body contains most everything else. The body is the larger part of the document, as the body of a letter you would write to a friend would be.

A small example of an HTML document structure:

    <html>

    <head>
    <title>Title Goes here</title>
    </head>

    <body>
    Body Goes Here
    </body>

    </html>

To view this simple web page, click here.

As you can see the words within the "Title" tags are found in the title bar at the top of the screen. (On Windows Machines, this is to the left of the maximize/minimize buttons at the very top of the window.) And the words within the "body" tags are found in the major area of the window.
