    Stylistic Code Comments:

  • Use quotes around values in attributes...
    For example, if you want a horizontal rule that is half of the screen width, type <hr width="50%"> rather than <hr width=50%>,
    or if you want one that is size 5 type <hr size="5"> rather than <hr size=5>.

  • Don't overlap tags...
    Overlapping occurs when Tag A starts, Tag B starts, Tag A closes, then Tag B closes. This will cause errors in sensitive browsers. For Example, it will not render correctly in Navigator 4.0 Beta1, Netscape purposefully built into the browser so developers could catch errors. Examples:
  • The Comment Tag:

    You start commented text with <!-- and end it with -->.

    Anchor Tags:

    To name the part of the document: <a name="name_of_area">text</a>
    To call a link to that place from somewhere else in the document: <a href="#name_of_area">text</a>

    Tables:

    Example of a Table...
    What are tables used for?
    Tables are used to make data easier to interpret or to just give your document more impact.

    <table border=4>
    <tr>
    <th>What are tables used for?</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Tables are used to make data easier to interpret or to just
    give your document more impact.</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    

    Example of tables with borders...
    This table has a border of 0.
    <table border=0>
    <tr>
    <td>This table has a
    border of 0.</td> </tr> </table>
    This table has a border of 3.
    <table border=3>
    <tr>
    <td>This table has a
    border of 3.</td> </tr> </table>

    Example of a table with multiple rows and columns...
    Heading A Heading B Heading C
    Cell A Cell B Cell C
    Cell D Cell E Cell F

    <table border=2>
    <tr>
    <th>Heading A</th><th>Heading B</th><th>Heading C</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Cell A</td><td>Cell B</td><td>Cell C</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Cell D</td><td>Cell E</td><td>Cell F</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    

    But what if you want your table to look like the following?
    Heading A Heading B Heading C
    Cell A & D Cell B Cell C
    Cell E Cell F
    <table border=2>
    <tr>
    <th>Heading A</th><th>Heading B</th><th>Heading C</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td rowspan=2>Cell A & D</td><td>Cell B</td><td>Cell C</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
    <td>Cell E</td><td>Cell F</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    

    Example of ALIGN attributes within a table...
    Left Alignment Center Alignment Right Alignment

    <table border=1 width=100%>
    <tr>
    <td align=left>Left Alignment</td>
    <td align=center>Center Alignment</td>
    <td align=right>Right Alignment</td>
    </tr>
    </table>
    

    Sounds:

    <embed src="filename.ext" width=x height=x autoplay=x hidden=x loop=x volume=x></embed>
    If you want the file to automatically play when the web page is loaded, set autoplay=true,
    if you do not want the file to automatically start, set autoplay=false.
    If you want the control box to be hidden, use the hidden=true attribute.
    Normally the file will stop playing after it is completed the first time.
    If you want it to start over once it is done use the attribute loop=true.
    You can set the volume setting with the volume attribute, a value from 1 to 100 (default is 50).
    The control box size that plays the sound can vary from browser to browser.
    Some versions of Netscape won't show the box at all unless you specify. (145 and 60 are usually good)

    Example of the embed tag...

    <embed src="davesite.wav" loop=true autoplay=false width=145 height=60></embed>



    NOTE: Because this embed tag was not set to autoplay=true, you will need to click the play button to play the sound file.

    You may use multiple embed tags within one page, but it is recommended to never set more than one on autoplay. It is also not recommended to use .wav or .au files in the embed tag, because they are very large and take a few minutes to download. (.mp3 also falls into the category of "too large to use".)
