<p>Save the file as &quot;mypage.htm&quot;.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Start your Internet browser. Select &quot;Open&quot; (or &quot;Open
Page&quot;) in the File menu of your browser. A dialog box will appear. Select
&quot;Browse&quot; (or &quot;Choose File&quot;) and locate the HTML file you
just created - &quot;mypage.htm&quot; - select it and click &quot;Open&quot;.
Now you should see an address in the dialog box, for example &quot;C:\MyDocuments\mypage.htm&quot;.
Click OK, and the browser will display the page.</p>

<hr />

<h2>Example Explained</h2>
<p>The first tag in your HTML document is &lt;html&gt;. This tag tells your browser that
this is the start of an HTML document. The last tag in your document is
&lt;/html&gt;. This tag tells your browser that this is the end of the HTML document.</p>

<p>The text between the &lt;head&gt; tag and the
&lt;/head&gt; tag is header information. Header information is
not displayed in the browser window.</p>

<p>The text between the &lt;title&gt; tags
is the title of your document. The title is displayed in your browser's
caption.</p>

<p>The text between the &lt;body&gt; tags is the text that will be displayed in your browser.</p>

<p>The text between the &lt;b&gt; and &lt;/b&gt; tags will be displayed in a bold font.</p>

<hr />
<h2>HTM or HTML Extension?</h2>
<p>When you save an HTML file, you can use either the .htm or the .html extension.
We have used .htm in our examples. It might be a bad habit inherited from the
past when some of the commonly used software only allowed three letter extensions.</p>
<p>With newer software we think it will be perfectly safe to use .html.</p>

<hr />
<h2>Note on HTML Editors:</h2>
<p>You can easily edit HTML files using a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get)
editor like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, instead of writing
your
markup tags in a plain text file.</p>

<p>However, if you want to be a skillful Web
developer, we strongly recommend that you use a plain text editor to learn your
primer HTML.</p>

<h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2>

<p><b>Q: After I have edited an HTML file, I cannot view the result in my
browser. Why?<br />A: </b>Make sure that you have saved the file with a proper
name and extension like &quot;c:\mypage.htm&quot;.
Also make sure that you use the same name when you open the file in your browser. </p>

<p><b>Q: I have edited an HTML file, but the changes don't show in the
browser. Why?<br />A: </b>A browser caches pages so it doesn't have to read the same page twice.
When you have modified a page, the browser doesn't know that.
Use the browser's refresh/reload button to force the browser to reload the page. </p>

<p><b>Q: What browser should I use?<br />
A: </b>You can do all the training with all of the well-known browsers, like 
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, or Opera. However, some of the examples in our advanced
classes require the latest versions of&nbsp;the browsers.</p>
<p><b>Q: Does my computer have to run Windows? What about a Mac?<br />
A: </b>You can do all your training on a non-Windows computer like a Mac.</p>
