Elements, commonly called tags, are what tells a browser how to handle the items on a page. They consist of an open bracket (<), the tag name, and 0 or more attributes, values for the attributes in quotes ("), and the closing bracket (>). All elements attributes should be in lower case. Values should be cased according to the attribute itself. For URIs the case is according to the location and name of the item.
To start a page, use the document type definition for HTML 4.01
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/transitional.dtd">
Or for frame sets use
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/frameset.dtd”>
Next use the html tag.
<html>
To insert a picture use the img tag with the src attribute, and the alt attribute with a description of the image as the value for the alt tag. Other attributes are height, width, and title. Do not use the height and width attributes to size or create a thumbnail of an image. For a comprehensive list of html elements visit the W3C’s (World Wide Web Consortium) web site.
