Week 2 Structure of a Page

After acquiring the basic knowledge of what a webpage is all about we were then introduced to the structure of the page in week two.This class was very informative as I was now able to identify each element and its uses.The XHTML document should contain four elements namely html, head,title, and body- theses provide the structure with which you can create XHTML pages in other words they can be considered the backbone of the XHTML document. The html element is considered the containing element of the entire HTML or XHTML,head element contains dataabout the document such as a title or link, title element should contain a title which relates to the particular website you are creating while the body element is basically the "meaty" part of the XHTML as it contains the content of the document you see in the browser. In this class we were drilled on the vital point that once you open a tag you MUST close the tag at first it was a lot of information to accumulate but eventually I got the hang of it due to practice practice practice. I also learnt how about attribute groups and how each was used i the html/xhtml elements-which led to basic text formatting where I could mark up my text for example font-size, colors, type-faces,etc... Additional we did a few exercise with ordered and unordered list as well as grouping elements with divs and spans.
