DOCTYPE
< !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
The DOCTYPE is used to determine how the browser will render your code. There is one standard for HTML, but not one browser. Having the DOCTYPE in the beginning of all your HTML pages helps keep the browser defined in a specific set of standards.
HTMLTree comment: Most web programmers would argue there exist two sets of standards. Microsoft being the latter. But with MSIE 6 or later, Mircrosoft states it will follow w3 standards if the DOCTYPE exist.

All people have various ways of expressing themselves and normally they would be unique from others. Not many people place identity on their sites for fear of being laughed at. But on the web, anything is possible and can be done. All you have to do is make a simple design from your end which best suits the purpose of putting up a site in the first place.
Designs don’t have to be exotic. You can express what you really feel suits your needs. As far as web development is concerned, it remains that web designs normally portray a person’s overall image.

When you write HTML text, you can never be sure how the text is displayed in another browser. Some people have large computer displays, some have small. The text will be reformatted every time the user resizes his window. Never try to format the text in your editor by adding empty lines and spaces to the text.
HTML will truncate the spaces in your text. Any number of spaces count as one. Some extra information: In HTML a new line counts as one space.
Using empty paragraphs
to insert blank lines is a bad habit. Use the
tag instead. (But don’t use the
tag to create lists. Wait until you have learned about HTML lists.)
HTML automatically adds an extra blank line before and after some elements, like before and after a paragraph, and before and after a heading.

As far as the web is concerned, there over a million websites to visit and what really makes them unique would be the domain name and the type of programming language that was used for them. This is one reason why sometimes we run into script errors which would require us to download some add-ons to be able to view such sites.
However, there are times where you people may want to use logical decisions when it comes to downloading scripts. For one, some of them may not be really required and would point you towards downloading dangerous scripts which may affect your computer and become a pain in the end.

One thing you can do the next time you log in is try the art of blogging. Most people term it as a form of personal diary where you can write about anything you feel like sharing. There are no restrictions and normally, it may even be your outlet when it comes to unleashing some things that you want off your chest.
There are a lot of people who blog as well. Most of them started out blogging about personal things. Some now blog about various issues to make their voices heard. For the advanced ones, making a living out of blogging has helped them a lot as well.

At times when you want to save on time, there are a lot of codes for audio, images, and videos available on the web which you can use. Some can even be embedded and all you have to do is to copy and paste them.
Such is existent even in social networking sites such as Friendster. A lot of it is because people are after presentation which is equally catchy in the area of website designing.
Some people may want to create their own but ideas can come from the ready made ones on the web. Use them for the meantime until you can be able to make you own unique design.

One thing you will certainly be impressed with is the types of interactive designs that most web programmers put into sites today. Menus can be enhanced using dropdown options or even simple highlights. While they may seem technical, they are scripts that can be easy to use.
Underneath the Title Bar are other bars that can be used for moving around the Internet. If you are looking for quick and easy ways to navigate, the bars located at the top of your screen under the Title Bar will be helpful. One of the most useful bars is the Menu Bar. You will quickly appreciate each of the options found on the Menu Bar.

We can enhance our sites with simple video codes from sites such as Metacafe and Youtube. These sites allow most users to copy their codes on videos so that they can be seen elsewhere. For people who wants something new added to their site, you will be amazed at how a simple video can change everything in an instant.
Technology has made all of these things possible. With the proper interface and modifications, you can make a difference on the web if you are inclined to. Just embed a video, put in a couple of words on your end and you can create something worthy for yourself and potential visitors.

Static web sites have web pages saved on the server where users can view them. There are three main categories of software which are used in editing static web sites: a) Text editors like Notepad or TextEdit where HTML can be altered directly using the editor program; b) WYSIWYG editors like Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe Dreamweaver (known before as Macromedia Dreamweaver) which can edit the web site using a GUI interface and can automatically generate the underlying HTML, and; c) Template-based editors like iWeb and Rapidweaver wherein users can easily make and upload web sites to a web server even without any background in using HTML since they can always choose templates from the available palette and modify using pictures and text.

The client-side dynamic content comes from the client’s computer when the web server retrieves the page and sends it back as it is. Next, the web browser inputs the code embedded in the page and finally shows it to the user. Remember that some browsers do not support the language or all aspects of the language in a client-side dynamic page. Also, since the data cannot be stored anywhere but in the user’s computer, the data cannot be used for statistics gathering. Keep in mind that search engines cannot run client-side languages and crawl links created by them and that some users sometimes have scripting languages disabled in their browsers because of potential security threats.
