More about HTML

HTML files save the data in a standard text format and hold tags to indicate the structure of a webpage. By using a text editor, users can access and edit an HTML file. However, HTML files are usually accessed by source code editors that make coding easy.

HTML source codes are not visible by a web browser. If you want to view the source code, select 'view source' from the 'view' menu of a browser. Don't interfere with the coding if you don't have the knowledge of source code editing.

The common HTML file name is index.html which is uploaded when a request is made by a client web browser to a Web Server directory. For instance, while you request to open a web browser like http://www.........com/, the server loads http://www.........com/index.html also.

The file name default.html is often used by Windows Web servers.
