Footer
The bottom part of the body of an HTML document is footer. It does not have any special tag (it does not
have any significance on the looks of the document), as it is mainly used to identify some ending matter
like URL of the page, the date of the data prepared, the version, author’s name, address, e-mail id, phone
no., etc., by using comment tag.
These are generally appended at the end of the body of a web page. It is not mandatory to apply Footer
in the HTML document.
CREATING AN HTML DOCUMENT
An HTML document can be created by using simple text editor like Notepad, KWrite or HTML editor like
Front Page, etc. To view the content of the document, one can use a web browser like Google Chrome,
Microsoft Edge, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, etc.
To create an HTML document, follow these steps:
Step 1 Open a text editor say ‘Notepad’ in Windows or ‘gedit’ in BOSS Linux.
Step 2 Type the necessary codes for creating the webpage. (As an example, refer to the screen given
below)
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> FIRST PAGE </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
WELCOME TO ORANGE EDUCATION
</BODY>
</HTML>
Step 3 Save the file with an extension .htm or .html and close it. (Extension indicates that the document
contains HTML codes which can be displayed as a web page using web browser.) The saved file
icon changes to the related browser icon with the file name written under it.
