Question

what is the process for HTML? Once you write the code, does it require a compiler? How do you get the code to work? Same question for XML. Is there a flow chart depicting the process? Thanks.

hi sir,

 

you write the html code into an editor. you save it as something.html (or htm). when you double click on the html file you have created, it is opened in your browser (internet explorer etc)

 

editor = there are html editors, like dreamweaver, frontpage etc... they only makes it easy to write your code. in fact, if you know HTML enough, you can open a blank notepad (windows notepad) type your codes. save it as html. this will work too.

 

xml is the same. you write the code, and save it as something.xml. xml is helping internet applications to be able to retrieve data easily. (you don't open xml file as you do like htmls)

 

for example, you write the codes in xml for the daily updated data in your website. internet applications (like feed readers) can access your xml file, and read your data.

Thanks for the answer. That's how I thought it worked; but, I wasnt' sure. It is very useful to know that I can use a text editor and simply save it with the appropriate extension. I'm used to fortran, C, C++ and have never done html stuff. So, I guess that I'll play with it.

 

One last question. How do I get the browser pointed to the file?

 

thanks and I'll accept your answer as soon as you advise me on how to point to the file.

hello again sir

sorry for my delay.

 

since html files are already associated with the internet browser installed on your computer, double clicking on the html file will open the browser automatically.

 

in short, when you double click on your html file, it will be dislayed in your browser automatically.

 

you have another option. you can open your browser. and go to FILE menu. under FILE menu, there is OPEN. just click on OPEN, and it will ask you what file you want to open in browser. select your html file and it will display the html file again.

Thank you.

 

I figure I can play with the coding now and can get the linking to other doc thru the HTML code.

 

thanks again and I'll "accept" your answer now.
