  Tutorial: HTML Getting Started HEAD Commands Tutorial

What do those HEAD commands do anyway?

Tutorial Details:

HTML Getting Started HEAD Commands Tutorial
When I was first learning to use HTML, I saw that same example over and over again. I thought the HEAD commands made things pop up in the blue bar at the top. You see, that was all I ever saw inside of them. So, because I was left to my wits to learn this language, I figured I didn't need those commands. I wrote without them for a good long time. None of the pages ever seemed incorrect or flawed so I just never felt I needed them.

It wasn't until the advent of JavaScript and META commands that I even cared what they did. This is all true. When I teach HTML in a classroom, I do not incorporate the HEAD commands until after the students learn to manipulate text with bold , italic , and other types of commands.

I'm sure that statement is right now driving someone out of his or her skull. Again, I say... what would you tell students who are just being introduced to the language what those commands do? Header commands are a great part of HTML. I know that now. But I still think they are to be taught separately, as something to incorporate rather than something that's required.

What The <HEAD> Commands Actually Do The HEAD commands do three things:
They contain information regarding the document. This data does not appear in the browser window when the page is loaded. The data is mainly used for helping search engines with page descriptions, browsers with base domains, and other data not generally regarded as display content.
