Exercise 1: HTML and Markup Languages

The aims of this lab are:

• to write and, importantly, validate some HTML
• to develop some familiarity with the formal markup language specifications - both the descriptions and DTDs, and
• to familiarise yourself with some of the developments and issues in markup language specification and use.

W3Schools

Work through the W3Schools Tutorial:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
from the start up to HTML Blocks, and also to the section on HTML Forms.

Create your own home page

Try adding a form to the page. The form should collect a users name, email and date of birth. Use HTML5 input types, and check that they work in the browser.

Validation

1. Validate your HTML5 page using the validation service at:

    https://validator.w3.org/.
   

   Try to fix any problems that appear during validation.
