Exercise 1a: Use a real browser, spot things in HTML

  • Open up Chrome (or any other browser)
  • Go to https://en.wikipedia.org in that browser
  • Look for:
    • Some text which is bold (remember what it says)
    • Some text which is italic (remember what it says)
    • Some text which is a hyperlink (remember what it says)
  • Choose the "view source" option (or "inspect element")
  • Find the text you found

Here's what's happening:

graph LR;
    browser(Browser on your computer)
    server(Wikipedia web server)
    browser-- request for a particular page --> server;
    server -- response containing HTML -->browser;
Loading

Questions:

  • What's the HTML tag meaning 'bold'?
  • What's the HTML tag meaning 'italic'?
  • What's the HTML tag meaning hyperlink? What happens when you click the link? The browser goes to another web page - how does it know where to go?

(you'll need to know these things later!)
