Tag History
- What is it?
- This is THE top level container tag for an HTML document.
It specifies that the content of the document is text with HTML markup
tags. The content of an HTML document is a HEAD element which contains
the title of the document plus other information ABOUT the
document. Following the HEAD element comes the visible content of the
document in the BODY element. Alternately, an author may specify a
FRAMESET series in place of the BODY element that enumerates the
layout of sub-documents to be contained in the master document.

Tips & Tricks
