We looked at the four(4) main elements that forms the basic structure for every document:
1)html, 2)head>,3)title, 4)body.The elements listed should appear in every XHTML document.


I)html is the parent (most importanat) and its kids are the head and the body

II) Head element should include the title element , it may also include the link to the stylessheet.

III)The title element as the name suggestss the title for each page.Each page should be given a title and the tittle should give you an idea of the content that will appear on that page> In essence the title page describes the content for each page on your site eg. About Us page, Contact Us page etc. The title element should contain only the text for the title; it should not have any other elements.

IV) The body element comes directly after the head element what is written in the body is what will appear on the page.Included in the body are paragraphs,headings, tables, forms etc
