I'm new to this and very willing to learn.

When you see text in color in a HTML page, what does it mean? I don't think it is the color of the text showing up on the web page.

Are you talking about different colors of text when you view the source of a page? If so, that is just highlighting which makes the code easier to read, and is being added by the browser.

I never thought about that, it is interesting how some programs just add this for you to help your eyes move across the code, I have become so used to it, I almost forget about it from time to time.

I think that the colors are a great way to take stress off of your eyes, I know if you look at black and white code for enough hours, it feels like you eyeballs are going to fall out.

Once you work with one syntax highlighter for a while, you become used to the colors it uses and it helps you find things more easily. the only problem I have is that often different programs highlight with different colors, which takes some getting used to.

In terms of meaning though, there really is none. The thing that displays the text (I'm guessing here we're talking about FF's "view page source") simply highlights the code for you to make it easier to read. There's nothing about the code that MAKES it be highlighted.

If you're learning HTML, I would suggest using a WYSIWYG edit like Dremweaver. You can preview the output of your HTML and make changes via a design view and it also highlights the code when using code view.

If you want to learn html the last thing you want is frontpage or dreameaver.

Get notepad2 or text editor with syntax highlighting and learn to code html. If you use WYSIWYG product you will spend years cleaning up the crappy code they wrote when you learn better.
