- 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;
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!)
