The source code that is displayed shows you the HTML codes. This page will appear in most browsers just as it looks to you now. Note we said in most browsers. Your page may not look like you intend it to in ALL web browsers that are out there. When building your home page, you'll need to decide whether to include features that only persons with new browsers can see, or whether to be as generic as possible.
Most people go for the new features, but note that their page is best viewed with a certain browser.
To make it easier for you to create your home pages, some programs called HTML editors or web editors have been developed. W hat Y ou G et. We used to use older HTML editors where you had to actually type in all of the HTML code, but now we use Microsoft FrontPage which does all of the HTML code for you behind the scenes. Once you're satisfied with your HTML creation, it's time to copy it into your home directory on our system. That's what makes it available on the web for others to view with their web browser.
