I am sure that you have seen lots of Web pages from the perspective of a user, viewing them in your browser. But what about the perspective of your new role: role of a Web Designer? A Web page is quite different from what you see in a browser, and when you are creating Web pages, it is this aspect that you will be working with. This is the source code that makes a Web page work.
Every Web page is basically a text file. You can see this text, the “source,” behind any Web page by going to the page in your browser and selecting Source from the browser’s View menu. An easier way to do this is by right-clicking your mouse and selecting View Source (other ways to view the source code of a website). This way you can look at the source for any page on the Internet. This will be an instrumental tool for you to learn and the ins and outs of Web design. Fig Below shows the wikipedia.org home page in browser.
Next Figure shows the source code of wikipedia.org home page.
Don’t worry about the details of source code yet. You’ll be learning about that throughout this blog. All the Web pages are written using a language which serves two functions:
- Tells the browser what next and images to show the visitor.
- Tells the browser how to format and display that text and images.
