Have a look at this thread:

You have made some very similar mistakes.

As for your 'tutorial':

Your comments are wrong. What you need is:

(Toggle Plain Text)

<!--This is the beginning of a comment

		Any text or code in between the two comments is not looked at when you run the page.

this is the end of a comment-->

As for the rest - where's the doctype? The XML namespace? The
<head></head> tags? The content-tpe META? etc.

As the others have said, it is not a good idea to be teaching HTML
4 to people. There is no good reason why any new document you
create should be anything other than XHTML 1.0 Strict. Here's a
template to get you started.

(Toggle Plain Text)

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<title>Untitled Document</title>
	<style type="text/css">
	/*<![CDATA[*/

	/*]]>*/
	</style>
	<script type="text/JavaScript">
	/*<![CDATA[*/

</head>
