Let's take a look at how the html structure of a web page is:
<html>
<head><title>New Page</title></head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Above is the html template code that has to be present in EVERY html page so that it can be displayed by the browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Netscape etc. Notice that this script is well-formed i.e. each tag has a matching closing tag.
There are two major code manipulations to make a web page work.
- Javascript
- CSS
CSS stands for "Cascading Style Sheets". As it's name implies, it is used to manipulate the style, look and feel of a web page.
In addition to these two code manipulations, you need to deal with a third type of code which is server side scripting and programming if you need a dynamic page. C#, VB.NET, PHP, ASP CGI are examples of server side programming.
Here comes the difference between Javascript and C#. One is client side coding and the other one is server side coding. For instance C# runs and processes the user input in the server and responds to a users request while Javascript runs in the users computer and validates user input or triggers some funny effects when the users moves their mouse.
We will code html template with more functionalities in the next posts. So bear with me and feel free to share your comments.
