What is the most important code to remember for html and css for the basics to get down with the foundation. I am taking my first class and am just wondering what the most important code is and how can you tell where everything is going to be in the site.
Actually Marie, the is not even needed for an html document and never was. HTML being the ‘lingua franca’ of the net, it was never mandatory that it be in a doc. Every browser will read html without being prompted. It will probably be that way with css before long, as it’s taking over all of the functions of the good ol’ html.
As for the most important code, it’s impossible to name one or even 2 or 3 codes that are ‘most’ important. Anyone would automatically say “The Table codes” a few years ago, but sadly, Tables are going out the window in favor of the floating divs.
A good basic knowledge of HTML would be of great help to someone starting out today, but it would probably be a waste of time since javascript and css can do the same things and are the only acceptable codes now.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m an old html-er and love it but most of it is deprecated and even sneered at today by the modern coders. (boo hoo for me….:-)

There is no most important code. It requires basic understanding of tons of elements for websites to work properly
