HTML skeleton

  • HTML - this is the opening and ending tag. All fills within these tags
  • <!-- comment --> in html
  • Head - consider like header, import region. It links to important resource files like CSS, JS scripts.
  • Body - main content of the web page
  • Divisions <div> </div> constitute the various segments of the page. It is common to nest the divisions.
  • Scripts - scripts are generally at the end because browsers load the page in the order they see the html. Hence if the scripts modify the html, they need to follow the html regions they modify.
