Getting Started with HTML, part 2

This is a another very very simple example of an HTML document. In your web browser, click "View -- Source" to see the actual text of the HTML file. Note the differences between this file and the previous one.

The image below is an example of an "inline image" (defined within the "img" tag). It is also a link to another web site (because it is enclosed between the <a> and </a> tags). The page it is a link to is an HTML validator that will tell you whether this page contains any errors. Click the link to see whether this page conforms to the HTML 4.01 standard as it is supposed to. Then click the "Back" button on your browser to return to this page.

Next you will learn another method for editing web pages. Go back to the "Week 2" page and answer the questions about this file, then proceed to the next part.
