When the request reaches the correct (hardware) web server, the (software) HTTP server accepts the request, finds the requested document, and sends it back to the browser, also through HTTP. (If the server doesn't find the requested document, it returns a 404 response instead.) ![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/kqrv1l7aqshzs9r8gfwc.jpg) ## HTML Elements ![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/curc9cwgkiiyrf6axrzh.jpg) The HTML element is everything from the start tag to the end tag: Content goes here... Examples of some HTML elements:

My First Heading

My first paragraph.

1. The element is the root element and it defines the whole HTML document. 2. It has a start tag and an end tag . Then, inside the element there is a element: Example :- ```

` is the lowest. `
`: The Paragraph element The `
` HTML element represents a paragraph. Paragraphs are block-level elements, and notably will automatically close if another block-level element is parsed before the closing `

``` There are many HTML tags and they have their own attributes. If you want to know more about HTML tags then follow the [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML). ## Live Server This is a little development server with live reload capability. Use it for hacking your HTML/JavaScript/CSS files, but not for deploying the final site. There are two reasons for using this: AJAX requests don’t work with the file:// protocol due to security restrictions, i.e. you need a server if your site fetches content through JavaScript. Having the page reload automatically after changes to files can accelerate development. ![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/akq8bnpytaarz84u5br5.png)
