Basic Html Code-  Hyper Text Markup Language is a display language that works with web browser.  Html code can contain Java applets for executing client sided functions and Active Server Page code for executing server sided functions.  All web pages must contain at a minimum the following code.

<html>  This tag is used to open this page for html code

<head> this tag  opens the header of the web page which is displayed at the very top of the page.  There are many different meta tags that can be put in the head section.

<title>this tag begins the title and the text that follows this tag will be displayed in the head of the page by the browser.

</title> this tag  closes the title section of the header.

</head> this tag ends the header section

<body> this tag indicates the beginning of the body which contains your web page.  

</body> this closes the body section of your web page.

All html documents must contain the above code at a minimum to work and the above tags can only be used once.  You will notice that all the tags must be opened and closed.
