Hello, so lets start with the basics.
The <p> tags are for paragraphs. To start a new sentence, don't use the enter. Here's an example of what you should do.
<p>Hi.</p>
<p>Here's some text.</p>
Every website has a <HEAD> and <BODY> tag. Example:
<head><title>test</title></head><body><p>Hi.</p></body>
The <title> tag can be inside the <HEAD> tags, or <BODY> tags! :)
<body><p>Hey there, this is some text you can enter between the body tags!</p></body>
There's a very simple page with some text. Here's the same thing, except with a link inside of it!
<body><p>Hi. <a href="http://dynamicdrive.com">Here's</a> a link to DynamicDrive!</p></body>
Now, isn't that easy! :D
Now, here's a 'message' box.
<body><textarea></textarea><p>Enter a message there!</p>
Now, here's how to add a title to a page!
<head><title>YourTitleHere</title></head><body><p>Now, there is a title!</p></body>
Here's a page with a background colour.
<head><title>YourTitleHere</title></head><body bgcolor="#FFFF00">A yellow page!</body>
Here is a quote from Blue Walrus with better info for the colors. :)
The preferred background method now I believe is css:
body {
background-color:#ffffff;
}
The coloring is better to know off of your head as well. The color chart is hexadecimal. The scale goes from 0-f (base-16) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal. The first two values are red, the second two are green, and the third two are blue. 00 is the absence of color (aka black) and ff is full (solid, if all=white).
For examples
#ff0000; is red
#00ff00; is green
#0000ff; is blue
#000000; is black
#ffffff; is white
Now, we have accomplished alot here today, so lets start with forms!
Here's a simple HTML form code I just made.
<head><title>FormTest</title></head><body><p>Name:<form method="POST">
<p><input type="text" size="20" name="testform"></p>
</form></p>
For a submit button in HTML, (I would NOT use this) you would need IE, and a running Email client, and to allow silent messages to be sent, I would NOT use this for my website, but it's up to you!
<form method="post" action="mailto:namehere@email.com" enctype="text/plain">
I would use something like AllForms (http://allform.mailjol.net) for something like that in HTML.
For browsing for a file,
<input name="file" type="file">
for max amount of KB/MB:
<input type="hidden" name="Max_File_Size" value="100">
More to come soon!
