HTML BASICS

<BR> Used to insert line breaks. 

CLEAR="LEFT", "RIGHT", or "ALL" Allows you to skip down past floating images at the left or right margins 

<NOBR> Place these tags at the beginning and end of a passage to force it to not break.  

</NOBR>

<B> Bold text. </B>

<I> Italicized text. (Include an extra space afterwards, to compensate for word bending)</I>

 <U> Underlined text.</U>

<STRIKE>  Strikethrough text.</STRIKE>

<TT>Monospaced "typewriter" text.</TT>

<PRE>
        Preserves the spacing of a block of text.  (Try to stay away from
        using tags within this format)
</PRE>

DOCUMENT STRUCTURE

<P> Encloses any sort of paragraph. </P>

<HR SIZE="x">

<HR WIDTH="x%">

ALIGN="RIGHT" or "CENTER" Use this within a formatting tag, to align the tag respectively with the command. 

<CENTER>Older, and more widely accepted, centering method. </CENTER>

LISTS

<LI>

• The tag that precedes a list item. 

  TYPE="DISC" or "CIRCLE" or "SQUARE"

   Use this attribute within a

  • tag to change the type of bullet used within the respective scopes.

    Same as in . TYPE="A" or "a" or "I" or "i" or "1"(default) Used within the tag to change the type of enumeration used. 

</LI>

LINKS

<A HREF="URL GOES HERE">  Text that links to the URL is placed in between these two tags.    </a>

         Note: The part of the address that is the same as the current location can be omitted. A ".." before the partial path indicates that you must go up one level before the address is valid. 

TARGET Specifies a named frame to display the document in 

<A name="anchor"> Anchor text or image.  </A>

<A HREF="#anchol.html">Used to quickly reference an anchor from the source page. </A>

LOWSRC="URL" This is a low-resolution file that is loaded temporarily, before the full version can load. (Include within the <IMG> statement) 

ALIGN="LEFT"(default) or "RIGHT" Use every time to insure that all browsers will wrap text around the appropriate side of the image. (Include within the <IMG> tag) (Use <CENTER></CENTER> for that alignment)

<BR CLEAR="ALL"> or "LEFT" or "RIGHT"  Moves items that follow to below an image or to the next clear margin, respectively. 

ALIGN="TOP" or "MIDDLE" or "BOTTOM" Vertically aligns object with the line or image preceding it. (Include in the <ImG> tag)

COLOR="#AAAAAA" Specifies the text color.

 FACE="fontname" Specifies the font to use. FACE="fontname1,fontname2,...." Tries several fonts, before returning to the default. Note: When adding additional font attributes, such as <B> , nest them within the<FONT> tag.

TABLES

<TABLE BORDER> 

    <TR> 

        <TD>text</TD> 

        <TD>text</TD> 

    </TR>

 <TR> 

        <TD>text</TD> 

        <TD>text</TD> 

    </TR>

</TABLE>

makes this:

</TABLE>

<TR> Enclose each row within a table </TR>

<TD>
Encloses each cell within a given row.
</TD>

COLSPAN="x" Spans the cell x number of columns within the table. 

BORDER="x" Specifies the thickness of the table border, in x pixels.

 CELLPADDING="x" Specifies the amount of space around the text of a cell, in x pixels. 

CELLSPACING="x" Specifies the thickness of the borders of the cells, in x pixels. Note: CELLSPACING overrides the BORDER settings. 

ALIGN="LEFT"(default) or "CENTER" or "RIGHT" Sets the horizontal alignment of cells. (The scope depends on what tag you include them in) 

VALIGN="TOP" or "MIDDLE"(default) or "BOTTOM" Sets the vertical alignment of cells. (The scope depends on what tag you include them in) Note: Including these tags in a more defined region overrides the settings in a broader region. 

BGCOLOR="#AAAAAA" Sets the background colors for cells. (The same scope rules apply as for alignment) WIDTH="x" or "x%" Sets the width of a table or cell, in x pixels or x% of the screen or table. Note: Tables can be nested but it is highly unadvisable. Also, text formatting must be performed on the individual cells of the table.

ROWS="50, 10%, *, 2*" Specify the height of the rows in pixels, percentage, whatever's left, or whatever's left (weighted), respectively COLS="50, 10%, *, 2*" Specify the width of the columns in pixels, percentage, whatever's left, or whatever's left (weighted), respectively FRAMEBORDER="0" or "1" Sets whether or not there is a border between the different frame cells

MARGINWIDTH This attribute specifies the left and right cell margins 

MARGINHEIGHT Specifies the top and bottom cell margins

NORESIZE This attribute disables the user from resizing the frame cells by dragging the borders

TARGET="_blank", "_top", "_parent", or "_self" 

    "_blank" causes the linked document to open in a new window 

    "_top" puts the linked document to take up the whole browser window 

    "_parent" causes the linked document to be placed in the cell occupied by the immediate FRAMESET parent of the document         (same as "_top" if there are no nested FRAMESET tags) 

    "_self" causes the linked document to go in the current cell
