I've never done TDD for a static page. If I was, I would use a tool like Selenium though:
I expect to see a field with the label "first"
write it
I expect to see a field with the label "last"
write it
I expect to see a submit button
write it
You said static though so I guess this would be more headers? For a single static page, the question feels like how would you TDD a word document? You could if you had requirements, but would it be necessary.

By TDD... I just wanted to mean that i want to have safety-net so that , i may ensure everything is fine.........
Essentially, i just want to have tests may be that could be written afterwards...
For Instance
1. All pages are present
2. Required elements are present as expected
Are these things possible with Selenium ???

Yes. Selenium let's you check the presence of elements. As does jwebunit. For static pages, jwebunit might be better because you don't have to worry about page interactions.
