Tutorials - HTML - Head

You don't have to include any header information in your webpages, but at the top of every HTML page, after the <html> tag we would recommend including the <head> element. This element can contain a lot for information for the browser and other visitors (such as search engines) to interpret, and is often used to load JavaScript and CSS, provide "meta" information and add a title to your page. We'll look at some of the more advanced things which can go into the <head> element later on. Try the following code:

<html>
	<head>
		<title>
			This is the title of the webpage!
		</title>
	</head>
	<body>
	</body>
</html>

When you load this page into a browser, you should see that the title (the window name in the titlebar of the browser window) has changed to "This is the title of the webpage". You can use the <title> element to set the title of the window to anything you like, and this will be the default when people bookmark your page or find you through a search engine, so make sure it is accurate!
