What is the HTML code to make your web more accurate?

Is it wrong to copy HTML code from a webpage to get my web page started and make major changes to code to personalize?

  • Answer:

    Nah. Everybody does it, meaning that there's a very good chance that they themselves originally copied it from elsewhere. It's a good way to jump-start web page development: you can get the whole page laid out before you completely understand it. That's assuming the "major changes" really are major, and you're not planning to just leave it that way, comments and images and all. But the basic tag structure is so common that there's no point in people trying to protect theirs.

2) As Pan stated below, it's a good way to start a web page - however, be aware that you'll only get client facing code, and the majority of the real "working parts" of the page will be in server side scripts and java code; so, most professional pages will be useless to you without the server side code, especially in a database, authentication or SSL is involved.

Thank you Schelli. I have no html knowledge to be honest. It's just a contact form with a few fields to be filled in (name, address, etc.) and an image upload script that allows a visitor to attach a picture for upload. I copied the code, changed the questions and deleted alot. I previewed it in an html preview viewer and it looks good as a web page. Are you saying I can't just paste into a webpage on my site? Only thing I couldn't find was html code telling it where to send the contact form and image when submitted? Would that be the server side stuff I'm missing? I was just hoping for the contact form and image to come to my email.

4) You can publish the html that you have, and it will "work". However, without server-side code and a database, having people enter information on the page is worthless if you don't have a script to take that entered information and insert it into the database - and then you also need to have code that prohibits malicious users from performing sql injection and trashing the database. "Only thing I couldn't find was html code telling it where to send the contact form and image when submitted?" YES "I was just hoping for the contact form and image to come to my email." Then you'll need to add code that will take the information from the form and insert it into an e-mail program and send it.
