    Basic Structure

    • <!-- ..... -->
      Specifies a comment. Anything between these tags will be skipped by the browser.

    • <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 //EN">
      This is the necessary first element of any HTML 3.2 compliant document.

    • <HTML>.....< /HTML>
      Encloses the entire document.

    • <HEAD>.....< /HEAD>
      Encloses the head of the document. The following optional tags are placed inside the head.
      1. <TITLE>.....< /TITLE>
        Indicates the title of the document that is used as the window caption. This is the second of the two required tags for any HTML 3.2 compliant document.

      2. <BASE href="http://something.network/some_file.html">
        Specifies the base URL of the document. This is used when dereferencing relative URLs in the page.

      3. <BASE href="http://something.network/some_file.html" TARGET="...">
        Also specifies the base target frame that all links will default to. See the LINK tag for possible values used in TARGET.

      4. <META attribut1 attribute2>
        This element can be used to specify name/value pairs describing various properties of the document. Below are some examples:
        To have your page automatically reloaded every X seconds, use the following:
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT=X >
        To have a different page automatically loaded after X seconds, use the following:
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="X; URL=http://some.address/some_file.html">
        To specify an expiration date for the page so that it will be reloaded after a certain date, use:
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Mon, 23 Sep 1996 01:21:00 GMT">
        To specify keywords for certain search services to use, do the following:
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="Keywords" CONTENT="keyword1, keyword2, ...">
        To specify a description of your page for certain search services to use, do the following:
        <META HTTP-EQUIV="Description" CONTENT="Describe your site here....">

      5. <LINK attribute=" HREF="..." >
        Currently this tag is not widely supported, however in the future browsers will use a list of these tags to generate a navigation bar for the site. Without browser support, this tag can still be useful for site maintenance.
          Attributes:
        1. REL="..."--Specifies the type of relationship of the link to this page. Possible values are: "home", "toc" (table of contents), "index", "glossary", "copyright", "bookmark", "up", "next", "previous", and "help".
        2. REV="..."--Used instead of REL, this specifies a reverse relationship from this page to the link. Possible values are: "made" (author, set HREF=email address) and all the ones used in REL.
        3. HREF="..."--Specifies the address of the link.
        4. TITLE="..."--Specifies a title for the link.

    • <BODY attribute1="..." attribute2="...">.....< /BODY>
      Encloses the main body of the document.
        Attributes:
      1. ALINK="..."--Specifies the color of the activated links in the page.
      2. BACKGROUND="..."--Specifies an image to be tiled as background.
      3. BGCOLOR="..."--Specifies the background color.
      4. BGPROPERTIES=FIXED--Fixes the background image so that it doesn't scroll. (IE)
      5. LEFTMARGIN="n"--Specifies the left margin for the entire page. (IE)
      6. LINK="..."--Specifies the color of the links in the page.
      7. TEXT="..."--Specifies the color of the text in the page.
      8. TOPMARGIN="n"--Specifies the top margin for the entire page. (IE)
      9. VLINK="..."--Specifies the color of the followed links in the page.

        NOTE: Color is always expressed as RGB (Red Green Blue), where each color has a value between 0 and 255 expressed in hex notation. For example, BGCOLOR=#FFFF00 sets the background color to yellow.

    • <BASEFONT attribute=">
      Sets the default font properties for the entire page.
        Attributes:
      1. SIZE="..."--Sets the size of the font to any number between 1 and 7 with 3 being default. Relative sizes also work, e.g. SIZE=+2 .
      2. COLOR="..."--Specifies the default font color for the page.
      3. Name="..."--Specifies the typeface of the default font.

    • <Hn>...< /Hn>
      Makes the enclosed text a heading of various sizes where n is any number ranging from 1 to 6, and 1 creates the biggest heading while 6 creates the smallest.

    • <ISINDEX>
      Displays a text box indicating the presence of a searchable index. Simply adding this tag will not create a searchable page. The server must be set up to support it.
        Attributes:
      1. ACTION="..."--Specifies the location of the gateway program to which the search string should be passed.
      2. PROMPT="..."--Specifies an alternate prompt for the text box.
