The <BODY> Tag

| Back | Home | Next |

The <BODY></BODY> tag pair contains all the information you want to share with the public, including pictures, tables, lists, text and hyperlinks. All the tags which introduce these elements must be nested inside the <BODY></BODY> tag pair.

The opening <BODY> tag appears right after the closing </HEAD> tag. 

The closing </BODY> tag closes the body, and is the last item on the page, before the closing </HTML>tag. The closing </BODY> and closing </HTML> are placed one right after the other.

<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>My First Web Page</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>

(Body of the document goes here)

</BODY>
</HTML>

Everything that is to be seen in the browser window must be place after the opening <BODY> tag and before the closing </BODY> tag.
