In HTML how do I place a line on a Web Page ?
General Disclaimer - Happy Online
would like to remind all visitors that they are responsible
for their own computer settings - some suggestions may not work
on some computers and may result in errors - you should only
make changes to your computer if you are comfortable with any
consequences that may arise. I dont want to encourage to many questions regarding how to
code web pages, the tutorial is designed at Internet Newcomers,
not Web Design Newcomers - these are two different subjects.
However, I will give the Happy Online visitors a brief introduction
to HTML and display a few snippets of code. (Including how to
place a line on a Web Page.)
HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark Up Language. HTML is basically
a formating language that tells a web browser where to place
images, text and other components on a web page.
A simple HTML document would looks like this:-
<html>
<head><title>My Web Page</title></head>
<body>Web Page Content</body>
</html>
If you copied the above text into a simple word processor
(your PC is bound to have notepad and is ideal for writing HTML
code) and saved the file with a .htm or .html extension (such
as test.html) and then opened the file in a web browser you
will be presented with a web page (although a very boring web
page.).
The items between the <> are known as tags and their
are hundreds of different tags that enable you to format text
or insert images, tables etc. If you wish to view the underlying
code that makes up a web page then you can do this by slecting
the view drop down menu at the top of your browser window followed
by source. You will soon see that although HTML is a simple
language pages can soon get complex, you will also typically
see other code when viewing web page source (Most commonly Javascript.).
OK, so how do I place a line on the web page like the example
below ?
To do this you need the HTML tag <hr />.
