Basic Web Pages
Basic:
A basic webpage is *very* simple, although webpages can be very complex. They all have something in common. Webpages are just "text" documents with a few or many defined elements. They also have *.htm, *.html or instead of the *.txt extension. They usually have "Links" to other webpages. They were created to deliver both text and images in response to one request.
Simple webpage:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
The visible content of the webpage goes in here in the body
element. The body can also include images, and other elements.
</body>
</html>
