1.0  INTRODUCTION

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a system for making up documents with tags that indicate how text in the documents should be presented and how the documents are linked together.

A website space is typically structured around a home page with links to other pages or documents both inland outside of the web space. A home page functions as a virtual meeting place in cyberspace for the exchange of information.

There are many home pages with information about HTML and the World Wide Web HTML is a language under construction. The continuing development of HTML is conducted on the website in an open process. New tools and techniques appear frequently and are quickly spread throughout the community of web authors. HTML is not a programming language and an HTML document is not a computer program. A computer program is a series of procedures and instructions applied, typically, to external data.

The definition of HTML specifies the grammar and syntax of markup tags that when inserted into the data it Instruct browsers-computer programs that read HTML documents-how to present the document

Also the organization will find this research very relevant and helpful because of its relatedness with the various aspects of their responsibilities. The study will help in getting information, history, about the site.

1.5   SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

This study focuses on HTML and java script to create a web site for Kogi State Polytechnic, the study will not look at some other website technologies that are not applicable in this area. Like dream weaver, Ms Front page e.t.c
