The Internet GigaBook For Dummies
Cracking the Code on Web Design
Adapted From: The Internet GigaBook For Dummies

A Web page is no more than a special type of text document that makes extensive use of HTML tags to format its contents. If you're a Web page designer (or have any inclination to become one), you can figure out a lot about Web design by viewing the HTML contents of the really cool pages that you visit.

To see the HTML codes behind any Web page displayed in the Internet Explorer browsing window, choose View, Source. When you select this command, IE launches the Windows Notepad utility, which displays a copy of the HTML source page (the page containing all the HTML tags and text) for the current Web page.

You can then print the HTML source page by choosing File, Print within Notepad.
