    What is an HTML File?

    HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
    An HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags
    The markup tags tell the Web browser how to display the page
    An HTML file must have an .htm or .html file extension
    An HTML file can be created using a simple text editor (Notepad)

    Thats pretty uselss IMO, its the basics and people who dont know basics, how would they kow what a frame is? a form?

    Maybe explaining what each one is because thats just a list not what they do where to put them... what to put in them..

    Anyways good try :P just need more detail...

    And maybe do an example so people can see where things go etc.

    But thats just me being picky

    Actually, Ben, you&#39;re right. lol it isnt you being picky. People who are learning basics wouldnt know what to do with framesets. They might have an idea of what it does, but still wouldnt know how to use it.

    Like Ben said, try adding some examples, so people know what they&#39;re doing (=

    Besides that, it&#39;s pretty good.

    How would it be useful to them?

    It doesnt teach them a thing about how to write html or anything, all it is is an unexplained list of tags, how would someone learn off that?

    Its like giving someone photoshop and expecting them to make a kick ass piece of digital art when they have never been on a pc :lol:

    hmm just a list of all the codes you think beginners would understand? pretty extensive, but people rarley use all that stuff with headers and stuff if you are a beginner theres an easier way for that. dreamweaver
    and... yeah i guess it helps some people though

    good point. and this also looks like a copy and paste thing from w3schools.com they have the same thing on there website after the introductory tutorials.

    IMHO the best waya to learn basics of HTML coding is through a wysiwyg editor rather than a notepad.
