After typing out a full program, how do I see the result or figure out how to run it?

Make sure the file is an html extension (eg., home.html). Right click on the file and click on "open with", then select Mozilla Firefox or any browser you have to open the file.

Question

Do I need to leave spaces?

Pingu

Top Answerer

No, unless they're in the name of a file you're linking to. HTML doesn't care about spaces and empty lines. You can, however, use them to make you source code more readable.

Question

What is meant by coding? Does it mean I have to write numbers or special signs?

Community Answer

Coding is a skill where you take instructions (the steps in a task) and translate it into a language the computer understands since computers do not communicate like humans. They communicate in a language called binary and it is uses 0’s and 1’s. Coders write the instructions using a programming language. This programming language translates human code into computer code known as software.

Can I practice HTML on mobile devices, or does it have to be on PC, and if so, which browsers can I use?

Yes. Go to Google Play store and download the programming hub app. After launching the app, select the course you want to study and if you select HTML (the course contains notes, example programmes with an HTML compiler). You can run and test any HTML programs on that compiler. Then just open the file.

Question

When I open the page in Chrome, it's completely blank. Anything I can do about this?

DarkWolf2244

Community Answer

You might not have entered HTML that instructs the browser to display anything. If you did add elements to display something, try adding more and refreshing the page. That'll tell you if Chrome is reading the file properly.
