Webmaster Tip - The biggest secret in HTML

This is a very old secret, but it certainly still works.
If you are on a website and like something the webmaster has done with HTML you can learn how to do the same thing. On most (if not all) popular browsers you can see the HTML code/tags for everything on the page you are viewing. If you like something the webmaster has done then you can find the code for it. While I don't just condone copying and pasting other peoples HTML, many people do this. I suggest either modifying it to make it your own or asking the webmaster permission to use it. This will certainly get you a better response than simply stealing it!

Microsoft Internet Explorer 7:
Click the page button (in the right hand corner) and then click view source (see picture below)













Older Versions of Internet Explorer Simply click on 'View' then on 'Source'

Firefox
Click on view and then page soruce (shortcut Ctrl - U) - see picture below











Final Stage
Now once you view the source you can copy and paste the tags you want to use.
Shortcuts for copying and pasting:
Highlight the 'section' you want hold down the Ctrl key and hit C (Ctrl C). Next you go to place you want to paste and use Ctrl V to paste the code.

Please do not use this tip to steal code - always ask first!
