Every HTML document must contain the "Core 8" HTML elements that define the structure of an HTML document. Those elements are:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> </TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<!-- all the page content goes here ** -->
</BODY></HTML>
Notice that there are four container elements. It is important to note that the sequence of these elements must be followed, including enclosing the TITLE container element completely inside the HEAD container element. The function of these elements are:
| <HTML></HTML> | Contains all of the HTML in the file. It is the first and last tag you see in that file. |
| <HEAD></HEAD> | Contains information about the document that does not display in the browser window, including the required document title. |
| <TITLE></TITLE> | Contains a descriptive title for the HTML file that displays in the browser's title bar. This title is also used by browsers for recording History, Favorites, and Bookmarks. |
| <BODY></BODY> | Contains all of the document's content. This is where text, images, and other content elements reside. |
