and I want to display this character ">" to the right of "Hello world"
I tried this:
CODE
<h1> HOME </h1>
<h1> > </h1>
But I get:
Hello World
>
=========
But I want
Hello world >
All help appreciated

H1 is a block element. By default, block elements appear below previous block elements.
Why not put everything in the same H1 element?
HTML
<h1> HOME > </h1>

Hi Darin
Yes I could do that .... but for curiosity’s sakes how would we do that ..... for example what if my tags were different and I have a h1 and h2 and I want them one next to each other?
I just started today so I don’t know anything !!!!
Thanks for replying !

You could float them both left.

It wouldn't make sense to use a H2 element just for a ">" character, but besides that you could style them with say CSS "float: left" or "display: inline" to make the H1 and H2 appear on the same line.

HTML is for creating basic functionality (links, forms, embedding images, etc) and to assign semantic meaning to content (such as indicating that some text is meant to be a heading).
CSS is just for styling or decorating the HTML. For example, CSS can make a link look like ordinary text, but it would still be a link (just harder to find by the user).

Ok thanks
So what is the code in Hrml if I want to display two pieces of
Text one next to each other like this
HOME >
And can’t be the same h1 tag because HOME can change and the > can change! So I want them separate !
Thanks

What has that something might change to do with that you need them to be separate elements? Are you really going the have the word HOME and a > or are they placeholders for something else?

If you mean change styling, you could use other HTML elements inside the H1. For example:
CODE
<h1>Foo<span>Bar</span></h1>
and then style the SPAN element differently with CSS.
