<H2>Syntax rules</H2>
<P>
In this <A HREF="./overview.html">overview of tags</A>, I have
used some simple rules to make the syntax clear. It also allows me to
provide the information in a short format.

To illustrate the syntax rules, here's the section on <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A>:

<HR>
<P>
The first section, <EM>Appearance</EM>, gives a common way to use this
tag. As you can see here, the <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A> tag does not have an ending tag.
If the beginning or ending tag appears inside square brackets, it is
optional and may be left off.
<P>
The next section describes the <A
HREF="../../glossary/glossary.html#attribute">attributes</A> for the <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A> tag.
If an attribute appears in <B>bold</B>, it is required, otherwise it
may be omitted. In the above
case, SRC is required, but the other attributes are not. Note that
the attributes themselves are listed in all caps, and the possible
values (if possible) in lower case. Note that an attribute value
<EM>must</EM> be quoted if it contains more than just letters, digits,
hyphens and periods.
<P>
The <EM>contents</EM> section describes which tags are permitted inside
this tag. For <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A>, there are none. And last, you can see which tags
allow <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A> inside them.
<P>
The attributes and their values are noted in a very compact format as
well. The "|" character is used to separate mutually exclusive
attributes or values. For example, <CODE>A=foo|bar</CODE> indicates
that attribute "A" may get foo or bar as value, but not both, or
anything else. <CODE>A=<CODE>string</CODE>|B=<CODE>string</CODE></CODE> indicates
that you may use either A <EM>or</EM> B, but not both.
<P>
If an attribute can take more possible values than can be given in a
list, the following special symbols are used:
<DL>
<DT><CODE>n</CODE>
<DD>A number. It must be an integer, and not have a "-" or "+" sign
prepended. Numbers do not have to be enclosed in quotes.
<DT><CODE>p%</CODE>
<DD>A percentage. The percentage must also be an integer. Exactly
what the percentage applies to depends on the tag. Percentages must
be enclosed in quotes.
<DT><CODE>URL</CODE>
<DD>An URL. This can be an absolute or a relative URL, depending on
the situation. In most cases, both are permitted. It is recommended
that URLs always be enclosed in quotes.
<DT><CODE>string</CODE>
<DD>A string of characters. Any character is permitted, including
entities. It is recommended that strings are always enclosed in
quotes.
<DT><CODE>#RRGGBB</CODE>
<DD>A color code, in hexadecimal notation. The color is constructed
in the red-green-blue format. Each part gets a hexadecimal number
between 00 and FF, and it should be given in two digits at all times.
Note that a color code must have a # as the first character, and
it must be enclosed in quotes.

</TABLE>

<P>
The APPLET tag is used to include Java applets. The CODE attribute
indicates the location of the class of the applet itself. CODEBASE can be
used to specify an absolute URL for the applet, similar to the <A HREF="./head/base.html">BASE</A>
element for HTML documents. Other classes for this applet will be searched
at the location indicated in CODEBASE. If this is not specified, the
current URL will be used for the location. The NAME attribute gives the 
name of the applet.
<P>
Just like with <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A>, WIDTH and HEIGHT are used to specify the
width and height of the applet's window, and HSPACE and VSPACE control
horizontal and vertical spacing around the applet. ALIGN sets the
horizontal or vertical alignment for the applet.
<P>
Arguments to the applet can be specified with the <A HREF="./special/param.html">PARAM</A> tag, which
goes inside the APPLET tag.
<P>
The ALT text may contain text which should be displayed if the applet
cannot be run, but you should use the contents of APPLET instead. In
here you may use markup, so you can provide a better alternative than
with the ALT text.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Not all browsers support Java applets, and those that do often allow
the user to disable it.
<LI>Always provide alternative text, so your visitors get
<EM>something</EM> when they can't see the applet.

</TR>
</TABLE>

<P>
Inside the <A HREF="./special/map.html">MAP</A> tag, each "hotzone" in the client-side imagemap is
defined with an AREA tag. The HREF attribute specifies the URL for the
destination that should be chosen if this area was selected. If you
specify NOHREF instead, this area won't do anything. 
<P>
SHAPE and COORDS define the actual region. SHAPE can be a rectangle,
circle, or polygon, and COORDS should contain a set of coordinates
describing that shape. This is done with a comma separated list of
numbers, enclosed in quotes. If SHAPE is set to DEFAULT, no coordinates
need to be specified. The default area is what will be chosen if no
others match. The syntax for COORDS depends on what shape you choose.

<DL>
<DT><STRONG>rect</STRONG> - rectangle
<DD>A rectangle has four coordinates. The first specifies the top left
corner, and the second the bottom right corner of the rectangle. For example,
<CODE>&lt;AREA SHAPE=rect COORDS="0,0,9,9"&gt;</CODE> would specify
a rectangle of 10x10 pixels, starting in the top left corner of the image.
<DT><STRONG>circle</STRONG> - circle
<DD>A circle is defined by its center and radius. The COORDS attribute
first specifies the coordinates of the center, and then the radius of
the circle, in pixels. For example, <CODE>&lt;AREA SHAPE=circle
COORDS="10,10,5"&gt;</CODE> would specify a circle with radius 5 at
location (10,10) in the image.
<DT><STRONG>poly</STRONG> - polygon
<DD>A polygon is built up by a list of coordinates. They are all
connected in the order you present, and the last coordinate pair is
connected to the first. This way you can build arbitrary figures.
For example, <CODE>&lt;AREA SHAPE=poly COORDS="10,50,15,20,20,50"&gt;</CODE>
would specify a triangle, with edge locations (10,50), (15,20) and (20,50).
<DT><STRONG>default</STRONG> - default
<DD>The default location doesn't have any coordinates, and it should be
used only once in the map. It is used to indicate what should happen if
the user selects one of the coordinates which are not defined in any of
the other elements.
</DL>

<P>
The ALT text is used by text browsers to present the URLs in
the imagemap in a more readable fashion. If you leave those off,
the browser can only display the "bare" URLs. The ALT text is
<EM>required</EM> if you want your document to be valid.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Coordinates are specified in X,Y order: COORDS="1,0,10,19" means
from X=1, Y=0 to X=10, Y=19. The top left corner is (0,0).
<LI>If you have an area which should not do anything, not even go to
the URL specified in the default area, use NOHREF.
<LI>Just like with <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A>, there can be no markup inside the ALT
attribute.

</TABLE>

<P>
The anchor tag is the "glue" for hypertext documents. The enclosed text
and/or image(s) will be selectable by the user, and doing so will take
the user to the location specified in the HREF attribute. The TITLE
attribute can be used to provide a description of that location, which
is displayed by some browsers when the mouse moves over the URL.
<P>
The NAME attribute is used to set up "named anchors." The enclosed text
will be marked as a "target" to which a browser can jump directly. For
example, if you have "&lt;A NAME="toc"&gt;Table of Contents&lt;/A&gt;"
somewhere in the document,
and the user selects the URL "#toc" he will be taken to that line.
<P>
REL and REV are not widely used, although these attributes were already
present in the HTML 2.0 specs.
They are used to mark up relationships between the current document
and the resource in the link. REL="foo" in document A, in a link
pointing to B, indicates that document A has a relationship of "foo"
with document B. REV="foo" indicates B has that relationship with A.
Since these attributes are not widely used, there is no standard list
of values for REL and REV.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Be sure to close the quotes around the value in HREF. Older browsers
were often quite forgiving about them, but as this caused other problems,
it was fixed in newer releases. This means that a hyperlink with an
unclosed quote may not work correctly.
<LI>You may not nest anchors, not even if one uses the HREF and the
other uses the NAME attribute.
<LI>The A element used with the NAME attribute requires a closing
tag and non-empty content.
<LI>TITLE is most often used for mailto URLs, where it is used to set
the subject of the message. Some browsers also use it if you bookmark
the link.
<LI>Since you cannot nest anchors, you can't hyperlink a named anchor.
You can however combine the NAME and HREF anchors into one anchor;
&lt;A NAME="foo" HREF="bar"&gt;text&lt;/A&gt; works just fine.

<P>
The BASEFONT tag is used to suggest a default font size. <A HREF="./special/font.html">FONT</A>
tags using a relative font size will use the value set here.
The SIZE attribute is an integer value ranging
from 1 to 7. The base font size applies to the normal and preformatted
text but not to headings, except where these are modified using the
FONT element with a relative font size.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Do not use <A HREF="./special/font.html">FONT</A> or BASEFONT to manipulate the font appearance,
use <A HREF="./font/big.html">BIG</A> and <A HREF="./font/small.html">SMALL</A> for local changes, and style sheets as a
more general solution.

<P>
The BASE tag is used to indicate the correct location of the document.
Normally, the browser already knows this location. But in cases such
as a mirrored site, the URL used to get the document is not the one
that should be used when resolving relative URLs. That's when you use
the BASE tag. The required HREF attribute must contain a full URL
which lists the real location of the document.
<P>
For example, in a document which contains
<CODE>&lt;BASE&nbsp;HREF="http://www.htmlhelp.com/"&gt;</CODE>,
the relative URL in <CODE>&lt;IMG&nbsp;SRC="icon/wdglogo.gif"&gt;</CODE>
corresponds with the full URL <B>http://www.htmlhelp.com/icon/wdglogo.gif</B>.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>

<LI>It is not necessary to include this tag; use it only if relative
URLs won't work otherwise.

<P>
The BIG tag (as well as <A HREF="./font/small.html">SMALL</A>) is new. A browser should draw the
enclosed text in a larger font if available, and ignore the tag otherwise.
Since this tag is new, support for it is not universal. The <A HREF="./special/font.html">FONT</A> tag
can do the same, with SIZE="+1".

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Nesting BIG tags may produce text in a larger font than with just
one BIG tag, but this is not required by the specs (although it is
recommended).
<LI>It is legal to nest BIG and <A HREF="./font/small.html">SMALL</A>, although the results are
undefined.
<LI>BIG is not supported by all browsers, so you might want to use
&lt;<A HREF="./special/font.html">FONT</A> SIZE="+1"&gt; instead.

<LI>If you quote from someone else's work, don't forget to include a
credit and/or copyright notice.
<LI>Do not use BLOCKQUOTE simply to create indented text. This is not
the required rendering, so you will not achieve the effect you want
on all browsers. It will also confuse page indexers and summarizers.

<P>
The BODY tag contains the actual contents of the document. That contents
should consist of <A HREF="./block/index.html">block elements</A> only. You
may put in <A HREF="./misc/pcdata.html">plain text</A> in the body, this is then assumed to be inside
a <A HREF="./block/p.html">P</A> container.
<P>
The attributes contain the appearance of the document. The BACKGROUND
attribute should point to the location of an image, which is used as
the (tiled) background of the document. The other attributes set the
colors for the background, text, links, visited links and active (currently
being selected) links, using the order above. 
<P>
The color is composed
by specifying the red, green and blue components of the color in
hexadecimal notation, with a # in front. For example, to specify white,
the red, green and blue components are 255, 255, 255, so you would
use "#FFFFFF". You can also use the following color names, although
they are not as widely supported as the codes:<BR>

</TABLE>

<P>
The BODY tag is optional; if you put all the <A HREF="./head/head.html">HEAD</A> elements first,
the browser can immediately see where the actual document body begins.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>If the background image cannot be displayed, the color specified in
BGCOLOR will be used.
<LI>If you set one of the attributes, set them all. Otherwise your
specified color may conflict with a user's default. This could result
in unreadable text. For example, imagine that you set your TEXT color
to light gray, but forget to set the background. Then someone with a
light gray background will not see anything at all.
<LI>Do not set unvisited and visited links to the same color, it will
confuse your readers.
<LI>The names that you can use instead of the hexadecimal values are 
not as widely supported as the color codes.
<LI>Netscape 1.1 produced a "fade" effect when more than one
BODY tag was used in a document. It would render the BGCOLOR colors in
sequence. This bug has been fixed in later versions. Do not expect that
using multiple BODY tags will give the intended results.

<P>
The BR tag is used to force line breaks within text. Normally, linebreaks
are treated as a space by browsers (except inside the <A HREF="./block/pre.html">PRE</A> tag).
The optional CLEAR attribute is used when you have an <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A> image
in your text. If that image uses ALIGN=LEFT or ALIGN=RIGHT, the text
will flow around it. If you have text you want below the image, you
can do this with &lt;BR CLEAR=LEFT&gt; or CLEAR=RIGHT to force scrolling
down to a clear left or right margin, respectively. Using CLEAR=ALL will
scroll down until both margins are clear. CLEAR=NONE is the default,
and does nothing.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Some people use multiple BR tags to force whitespace. This is not
required by the specs, so it may not work in all browsers.

<P>
B is used to indicate that the enclosed text must be rendered in a
bold typeface. It must be rendered distinct from <A HREF="./font/i.html">I</A>-italics text.
<P>
If you want to indicate strong emphasis, use the <A HREF="./phrase/strong.html">STRONG</A> element
instead. B should only be used when you want bold typeface for
some other reason than to denote strong emphasis. While the two tags usually
produce the same output, the B tag does not provide any reasons
<EM>why</EM> the enclosed text is in boldface. This means an indexer
or text-only browser cannot pick a good alternative. With <A HREF="./phrase/strong.html">STRONG</A>
this is possible. 

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Putting large blocks of text in boldface makes the text hard to
read.

<P>
The CENTER tag is one of the first Netscape extensions. It is used to
indicate that large blocks of text should appear centered. In the Wilbur
standard, it is defined as an alias for &lt;<A HREF="./block/div.html">DIV</A> ALIGN=CENTER&gt;.
<P>
The tag is more widely supported than the <A HREF="./block/div.html">DIV</A> method, as it was
the first widely implemented Netscape extension to HTML 2.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>The CENTER tag is <STRONG>not</STRONG> text-level markup, so do
not use it to center single lines of text inside a paragraph or other
block element. It will introduce a new paragraph.
<LI>Older versions of Netscape treated CENTER as if it were text-level
markup, so it was rendered without a paragraph break there.
<LI>For better portability with browsers which do not support this
tag, use ALIGN=CENTER on headers and paragraphs if possible.

<P>
The DIV tag is used to mark up divisions in a document. It can enclose
paragraphs, headers and other block elements. Currently, you can only use it
to set the default alignment for all enclosed block elements. Future
standards will most likely include more options for DIV.
<P>
Just like with other block elements such as <A HREF="./block/p.html">P</A> or <A HREF="./block/h1.html">H1</A>, you can
specify left, right and centered alignment.
  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>The align attribute on a block element inside DIV overrides the
align value of the DIV element.
<LI>Instead of &lt;DIV ALIGN=CENTER&gt;, use <A HREF="./block/center.html">CENTER</A>. This element
is more widely supported at the moment, even though HTML 3.2 defines
both as identical.

DL is used to provide a list of items with associated definitions. Every

directly following it. This list is typically rendered without bullets

While it is legal to have a DL with only <A HREF="./list/dd.html">DD</A> or <A HREF="./list/dt.html">DT</A> tags, it
doesn't make much sense (what good is a definition without a term?)
and you shouldn't expect it to get rendered as a normal list.

EM is used to indicate emphasized text. While it is often rendered
identical to <A HREF="./font/i.html">I</A>, italics, using EM rather than <A HREF="./font/i.html">I</A> is preferred.
It allows the browser to distinguish between emphasized text and other
text which can be drawn in italics (for example citations, <A HREF="./phrase/cite.html">CITE</A>).
<P>
EM text should be rendered distinct from <A HREF="./phrase/strong.html">STRONG</A> text.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Use EM only for emphasized text. If you want to use an italic
font for some other reason, use a more appropriate element like <A HREF="./phrase/cite.html">CITE</A>,

<P>
The FONT tag can be used to change the appearance of the current
block, in terms of size and color. The SIZE attribute can either take
an absolute value, ranging from 1 (smallest) to 7 (largest), or a
relative value. Using the latter will change the font relative to
the font size as set in the most recent <A HREF="./special/basefont.html">BASEFONT</A> tag. 
For example, &lt;FONT SIZE="+1"&gt; will
make the font size one step bigger.
<P>
The COLOR attribute takes a hex value, which is the RGB-notation of
the desired color. You can also use a color name, although the names
are less widely supported than the codes. See the section on <A HREF="./body/body.html">BODY</A> 
for a more detailed explanation on how to specify colors.
<P>
In both cases, the closing tag &lt;/FONT&gt; restores the previous
font size and/or color.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Avoid making extreme font changes if possible. They can make a 
document hard to read. If possible, use <A HREF="./font/big.html">BIG</A> instead of &lt;FONT
SIZE="+1"&gt; and <A HREF="./font/small.html">SMALL</A> instead of &lt;FONT SIZE="-1"&gt;.
<LI>The color attribute is not very widely supported, so do not rely
on it.
<LI>None of the browsers which support FONT allow their users to
disable it. It <EM>is</EM> possible to disable body colors, so if you
use FONT COLOR to change font colors and the visitor has overriden your
body colors, the text may wind up invisible.
<LI>Do not use the FONT tag to emulate headers. Indexers rely on the
six header elements to generate an overview of a document, and they
will not be able to index your document if you use FONT instead. FONT
should be used only as an enhancement of the presentation.

<P>
Forms allow a person to send data to the WWW server. You can use the
<A HREF="./form/input.html">INPUT</A>, <A HREF="./form/textarea.html">TEXTAREA</A> and <A HREF="./form/select.html">SELECT</A> tags to add individual elements,
such as checkboxes, input fields or "drop down" lists to your form.
A form may contain all markup (both text and body level tags), but it
may not have a nested form.
<P>
FORM has one required attribute, ACTION, specifying the URL of a CGI
script which processes the form and sends back feedback. There are
two methods to send form data to a server. GET, the default, will
send the form input in an URL, whereas POST sends it in the body of
the submission. The latter method means you can send larger amounts of
data, and that the URL of the form results doesn't show the encoded
form.
<P>
You can specify an encoding type with ENCTYPE, the default of
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is most widely supported. 
An alternative is "text/plain", which is typically used in combination
when the ACTION attribute points to a mailto: URL. If a browser
supports both, the contents of the form is sent in plain text to
the indicated recipient.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>A form should always have at least one submit button. This can be
done with &lt;<A HREF="./form/input.html">INPUT</A> TYPE=submit NAME=submitit&gt; or with an
image: &lt;<A HREF="./form/input.html">INPUT</A> TYPE=image NAME=submitit&gt;.
<LI>More than one submit button is legal. If each submit button has
a unique NAME attribute, the name of the selected submit button is
sent along with the rest of the form input. This allows the parsing
script to determine which button was pressed.
<LI>The URL specified in the ACTION attribute does not have to be a
CGI script, although you can get pretty weird results if you try to
feed data to a document which isn't a CGI script. A popular reason to
do this is to get a "button" which when pressed takes you to a new page.
This can be done with:
<PRE>
&lt;FORM ACTION="destination_url" METHOD=GET&gt;
&lt;INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=foo VALUE="Go to destination"&gt;
&lt;/FORM&gt;

The level 1 heading is the most important header in the document. It
should be rendered more prominently than any other header. It
is usually used to indicate the title of the document. Often it has
the same contents as the <A HREF="./head/title.html">TITLE</A>, although this is not required and
not always a good idea. The title should be useful out of context
(for example, in a bookmarks file) but the level 1 heading is only
used inside the document.

The optional ALIGN attribute controls the horizontal alignment of the header. 
It can be LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT.

<P>
HR is used to draw horizontal rules across the browser window. If the
margins are currently smaller, for example because of images (<A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A>)
which are placed against the margins, the rule will extend to these
margins instead of the whole window. A horizontal rule is typically
used to separate sections within a document.
<P>
In HTML 3.2, the appearance can be controlled more than in HTML 2. You
can specify the thickness of the rule with the SIZE attribute, which
takes an integer number of pixels. The width of the rule can be
specified in number of pixels or as a percentage of the currently available
window width, using the WIDTH attribute. Don't forget that percentage
values must be quoted! The NOSHADE attribute is used to indicate that
the rule should not get its usual shaded appearance, but instead should
be drawn as a thick line.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>None of the attributes for HR existed in HTML 2, so they may not
be supported by all browsers. This can produce bizarre effects if you
are using multiple HRs in a row to produce growing or shrinking "stripes".
<LI>If you use too many rules on a document, the end result can be that
the document looks like a "sandwich" because there is little text
between each rule.
<LI>Setting an absolute width is not recommended, since you have no way
to know how wide the currently available window is. Use a percentage
if you have to change the width.

<P>
The IMG tag is used to insert images within text. These are often called
"inline" images. Note that the IMG tag is not a block tag by itself, so
it must be used only within a block element. The location of the image
file should be specified in the SRC attribute. It can be a relative or
an absolute URL. When the image cannot be displayed for whatever reason, 
the browser should display the ALT text instead. The WIDTH and HEIGHT
attributes should contain the image's dimensions. This allows a browser
to lay out the page in advance, as it now knows where the text below the
image should be drawn.
<P>
ALIGN controls the alignment of the image with respect to the text. Using 
a value of LEFT or RIGHT will make the image line up against the left or
right margin, and text will flow around it.  To force text below such an
aligned image, use <A HREF="./special/br.html">BR</A> with the CLEAR attribute.  The values TOP, MIDDLE
and BOTTOM specify where any text following the image should be put.
If more than one line follows after the image, it will be put below
the image.
<P>
VSPACE and HSPACE get a numeric value, indicating the number of pixels
that should be left free around the image. VSPACE covers vertical
spacing and HSPACE the horizontal spacing.
<P>
The BORDER attribute is used when the image is a link. It indicates
that the browser should draw a border of the indicated size around 
the image to show that it is a link. It's most often used as BORDER=0
to turn it off. This has the disadvantage that the image must make
it very clear that it's a hyperlink.
<P>
ISMAP and USEMAP are used for imagemaps. The ISMAP attribute specifies
that the link that this image is in goes to an imagemap program on the
server, so the browser can send the coordinates of the selected location
to the server. USEMAP is used for a so-called client-side imagemap. It
specifies the URL of the imagemap information. Support for this is
limited, especially if the URL points to a different document rather than
an inline anchor. See the section on the <A HREF="./special/map.html">MAP</A> tag for more information
about client-side imagemaps.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Most browsers only support GIF and JPEG file types for inline images.
<LI>The ALT text may not contain markup, other than entities. Not all
browsers support entities in ALT text, so be careful.
<LI>Although the ALT attribute is not required, it is good practice
to add it. It should replace the image's <EM>meaning</EM>, and
not just provide a description <EM>of</EM> the image! If the image is
purely decorational, use ALT="" or a decorative ALT text like "* " if
possible.
<LI>Using WIDTH and HEIGHT with incorrect values, or with percentage
values is not valid. Some browsers (most notably Netscape) resize the
image to the indicated size, but this often gives very poor results.
Other browsers simply ignore the WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes in such
a case.
<LI>Browsers which do not draw boxes around hyperlinked images will
not honor the BORDER attribute.

<P>
The INPUT tag is probably the most useful tag inside forms. It can
generate buttons, input fields and checkboxes. In all cases, the NAME
attribute must be set. 
<DL>
<DT>TYPE=text
<DD>This generates a input field, where the user can enter up to
MAXLENGTH characters. The SIZE attribute lists the length of the input
field (if the user enters more characters, the text will scroll). The
VALUE attribute specifies the initial value for the input field.
<DT>TYPE=password
<DD>Same as TYPE=text, but the text will be hidden by "*" or similar
characters. It is still sent in the clear to the server, though.
<DT>TYPE=checkbox
<DD>Produces a checkbox. It has two states, on and off. When it is on
when the form is submitted, it will be sent as "name=on", otherwise
it is ignored altogether. If you use CHECKED, it will come up checked
(selected) initially.
<DT>TYPE=radio
<DD>Produces a radio button. A radio button always exists in a group.
All members of this group should have the same NAME attribute, and
different VALUEs. The VALUE of the selected radio button will be sent
to the server. You must specify CHECKED on exactly one radio button,
which then will come up selected initially.
<DT>TYPE=submit
<DD>Produces a button, which when pressed sends the contents of the
form to the server. You can have more than one submit button in the form.
Each should have a different NAME. The name and value of the pressed
button will be sent to the server as well. The value of the VALUE attribute 
is typically used as text on the submit button.
<DT>TYPE=reset
<DD>Also produces a button, which will restore the form to its original
state if pressed. The value of the VALUE attribute is typically used as 
text on the reset button.
<DT>TYPE=file
<DD>Allows the user to upload a file. It is still very new, so it is
not very widely supported. It is typically presented as an input box
with a button to start browsing the local hard disk. This way, a user
can specify one or more filename(s) to upload. 
<DT>TYPE=hidden
<DD>Allows you to embed information in the form which you do not want
changed. This can be useful if the document is generated by a script
and you need to store state information. NAME and VALUE of this input
field will be sent to the server without modifications.
<DT>TYPE=image
<DD>Functions similar to a submit button, but uses an image instead.
The ALIGN attribute controls the alignment of the image. The coordinates
of the selected region will also be sent to the server, in the form
of "NAME.x=<CODE>n</CODE>&amp;NAME.y=<CODE>n</CODE>". A text browser will treat it as
identical to a normal submit button.
</DL>

  <H3>Notes:</H3>

<LI>Do not expect that if you set MAXLENGTH, you will get no more than
so many characters. Anyone can modify his local copy of your form to
enter as many characters as he wants.

<P>
LINK is used to indicate relationships between documents.  There are two
possible relationships:  REL indicates a normal relationship to the
document specified in the URL.  REV indicates a reverse relationship.  In
other words, the <EM>other</EM> document has the indicated relationship
with this one.  The TITLE attribute can be used to suggest a title for the
referenced URL or relation.

<P>
Some possible values for REL and REV:
<DL>
<DT>REV="made"
<DD>Indicates the creator of the document. Usually the URL is a mailto:
URL with the creator's e-mail address. Advanced browsers will now let
the reader comment on the page with just one button or keystroke.
<DT>REL="stylesheet"
<DD>This indicates the location of the appropriate style sheet for the
current document.
</DL>
The following LINK tags allow advanced browsers to automatically generate
a navigational buttonbar for the site. For each possible value, the
URL can be either absolute or relative.
<DL>
<DT>REL="home"
<DD>Indicates the location of the homepage, or starting page in this site.
<DT>REL="toc"
<DD>Indicates the location of the table of contents, or overview of this site.
<DT>REL="index"
<DD>Indicates the location of the index for this site. This doesn't have
to be the same as the table of contents. The index could be alphabetical,
for example.
<DT>REL="glossary"
<DD>Indicates the location of a glossary of terms for this site.
<DT>REL="copyright"
<DD>Indicates the location of a page with copyright information for
information and such on this site.
<DT>REL="up"
<DD>Indicates the location of the document which is logically directly
above the current document.
<DT>REL="next"
<DD>Indicates the location of the next document in a series, relative
to the current document.
<DT>REL="previous"
<DD>Indicates the location of the previous document in a series, relative
to the current document.
<DT>REL="help"
<DD>Indicates the location of a help file for this site. This can be
useful if the site is complex, or if the current document may require
eplanations to be used correctly (for example, a large fill-in form).

<P>
The LI element is used to mark list items within a list. When the list
used is <A HREF="./list/ol.html">OL</A>, ordered list, the LI element will be rendered with
a number. The appearance of that number can be controlled with the TYPE
attribute. Similarly, inside an unordered list <A HREF="./list/ul.html">UL</A> the type of bullet
that is displayed can be controlled with TYPE. <A HREF="./list/dir.html">DIR</A> and <A HREF="./list/menu.html">MENU</A> can't
be controlled this way, as they are not required to be bulleted or
numbered. For ordered lists, you can also reset the sequence with the 
VALUE attribute.
<P>
The TYPEs for ordered lists should give the following appearance:
<UL>
<LI>1 - Arabic numbers (default) (1, 2, 3, 4, ...)
<LI>a - Alphanumeric, lowercase (a, b, c, d, ...)

<P>
When you use a client-side imagemap, the information on the "hot spots"
(clickable areas) in the image is defined here. Every selectable area
should be mentioned in an <A HREF="./special/area.html">AREA</A> tag inside the MAP tag. The NAME
attribute on the MAP tag assigns a name to the imagemap. The URL for
the client-side imagemap should point to this.
<P>
For example, if you have a map named "foo", you could reference to it
with <CODE>&lt;<A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A> SRC="map.gif" USEMAP="#foo"&gt;</CODE>
if the image was on the same page.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Client-side imagemaps are not widely supported yet, so try to offer
a textual alternative or also use a server-side imagemap. This can
be done by putting the <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A> tag with the USEMAP attribute inside an 
<A HREF="./special/a.html">A</A> and by adding the ISMAP attribute.
<LI>Having the imagemap data in a separate file is not as widely supported

<P>
The META tag is used to convey meta-information about the document, but
can also be used to specify headers for the document. You can use either
HTTP-EQUIV or NAME to name the meta-information, but CONTENT must be used
in both cases. By using HTTP-EQUIV,
a server <EM>should</EM> use the name indicated as a header, with the
specified CONTENT as its value. For example,
<PRE>
&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT"&gt;
&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="Keywords" CONTENT="Nanotechnology, Biochemistry"&gt;
&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="Reply-to" CONTENT="dsr@w3.org (Dave Raggett)"&gt;
</PRE>
<P>
The server should include the following response headers when the
document is requested:
<PRE>
Expires: Tue, 04 Dec 1993 21:29:02 GMT
Keywords: Nanotechnology, Biochemistry
Reply-to: dsr@w3.org (Dave Raggett)
</PRE>
<P>
Popular uses for META include:
<DL>
<DT>&lt;META NAME="generator" CONTENT="Some program"&gt;
<DD>This indicates the program used to generate this document. It is often
the name of the HTML editor used.
<DT>&lt;META NAME="author" CONTENT="Name"&gt;
<DD>This indicates the name of the author.
<DT>&lt;META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="keyword keyword keyword"&gt;
<DD>Provides keywords for search engines such as Infoseek or Alta Vista.
These are added to the keywords found in the document itself. If you
insert a keyword more than seven times here, the whole tag will be
ignored!
<DT>&lt;META NAME="description" CONTENT="This is a site"&gt;
<DD>Search engines which support the above tag will now display the
text you specify here, rather than the first few lines of text from
the actual document when the document shows up in a search result. You
have about 1,000 characters for your description, but not all these
will be used.
<DT>&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="n; URL=http://foo.bar/"&gt;
<DD>This is a so-called "meta refresh", which on certain browsers causes
the document mentioned in the URL to be loaded after <I>n</I> seconds.
This can be used for slide shows or for often-changing information, but
has some drawbacks. In particular, if you use a value of zero seconds,
the user can no longer go "Back" with his back button. He will be
transferred to the specified URL, and when he presses "back" there,
he will go back to the document with the refresh, which immediately
redirects him to the document he tried to get away from.
<DT>&lt;META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Tue, 20 Aug 1996 14:25:27 GMT"&gt;
<DD>This indicates that the document containing this META tag will
expire at this date. If the document is requested after this date,
the browser should load a new copy from the server, instead of using
the copy in its cache.
</DL>

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Not all servers use the information from META tags to generate
headers, although some browsers will treat what they find in here like
it was a header.
<LI>The "keywords" and "description" values are currently only used
by <A HREF="http://www.altavista.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=h&amp;what=web#meta">Alta

TYPE attribute:
<UL>
<LI>1 - Arabic numbers (default) (1, 2, 3, 4, ...)
<LI>a - Alphanumeric, lowercase (a, b, c, d, ...)

<P>
PRE is used to include sections of text in which formatting is critical.
Unlike in the other HTML containers, text in a PRE pair will only be
wrapped at the linebreaks in the source, and spaces will not be collapsed.
You can even use tabs, although it is better to use multiple spaces since
those will always be the right number.
<P>
Text inside this tag will be displayed in a monospaced font to retain
the formatting. This is the reason you cannot include font-changing
tags inside PRE text. Images are excluded because they can introduce
problems with alignment. An image can't be translated to a certain number
of characters.
<P>
The optional WIDTH attribute can be used to indicate how wide the text
is (for example, WIDTH=80 for a typical text file). This would allow
the browser to pick a font which fits the entire text in the current
window. Unfortunately this isn't very widely supported.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Although text-level markup is allowed inside PRE, not all tags are
supported.
<LI>A <A HREF="./block/p.html">P</A> tag is strictly not permitted inside PRE, but if a browser
encounters one, it should treat it as two newlines.
<LI>Since HTML tags are permitted inside PRE, you cannot just "insert"
a text file into an HTML document by slapping &lt;PRE&gt; and &lt;/PRE&gt;
around them. You have to convert the &amp;, &lt; and &gt; characters into
entities first.

<P>
  The P tag is used to indicate paragraphs. The optional attribute
  ALIGN indicates the preferred alignment for the contents of this
  paragraph. Support for ALIGN=RIGHT is not as large as support for
  the other two. Note that ALIGN=LEFT is the default.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Some browsers render extra whitespace when multiple empty
    paragraphs are used in sequence. This is not required by the specs,
    so do not count on this to get vertical whitespace in your document.
<LI>When a paragraph has the ALIGN=CENTER or ALIGN=RIGHT attribute,
    some browsers do not use the default alignment for the next
	paragraph unless this paragraph is explicitly closed.
<LI>In the very first version of HTML, the P tag was an empty tag like
    <A HREF="./special/br.html">BR</A>. Some references and books still claim that this is the case.
    However, HTML 2.0 defines the P tag as a container, and there is
	<EM>no</EM> difference between a paragraph with and one without
	explicit alignment.
<LI>Despite the above, some browsers treat the closing tag as an
    <EM>opening</EM> tag - they insert an extra paragraph break there.

SAMP is used to indicate a sample of text which should be used
literally.  For example, "The text &lt;SAMP&gt;General Protection
Fault&lt;/SAMP&gt; is well known to Windows users."
<P>
It differs from <A HREF="./phrase/kbd.html">KBD</A> text in that <A HREF="./phrase/kbd.html">KBD</A> text indicates text the
user must <EM>enter</EM>, whereas SAMP text can also be output.

<P>
The SELECT tag is used inside forms to generate a list of items from
which the user can select one or more. Each item is listed in an
<A HREF="./form/option.html">OPTION</A> tag. The value of the selected <A HREF="./form/option.html">OPTION</A> tag is assigned
to the NAME of the SELECT tag, and both are sent to the server when the
form is submitted.
<P>
The SIZE attribute indicates how many items are visible at once. If
set to one, you will get a drop-down list. If it's more than one, you
will get a scrollable list. If the MULTIPLE attribute is selected, the
user can select more than one item from the list.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Exactly how a user can select more than one item at once is
dependant on his platform, so do not include "instructions" on how to
do this. They may be wrong and can cause a lot of confusion.
<LI>If you use MULTIPLE, set the SIZE to more than one. This makes it
easier to select more than one item.

<LI>It is legal to nest <A HREF="./font/big.html">BIG</A> and SMALL, although the results are

<P>
STRONG is used to indicate strongly emphasized text. While it is often rendered
identical to <A HREF="./font/b.html">B</A>, boldface, using STRONG rather than <A HREF="./font/b.html">B</A> is preferred.
It allows the browser to distinguish between strongly emphasized text and 
other text which must be drawn in boldface in the case where boldface is
not available.
<P>
STRONG text should be rendered distinct from <A HREF="./phrase/em.html">EM</A> text.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Do not use STRONG if your text requires boldface; use <A HREF="./font/b.html">B</A> instead.

</TABLE>

<P>
Table start with an optional caption followed by one or more rows. Each
row consists of one or more cells, which can be either header or data 
cells. Cells can overlap across rows and columns.
<P>
The ALIGN attribute controls the alignment of the table itself, but
not of the individual cells. This can be set either in the <A HREF="./table/tr.html">TR</A>
element for an entire row, or in the <A HREF="./table/td.html">TD</A> and <A HREF="./table/th.html">TH</A> elements for
individual cells. The WIDTH attribute can be a pixel width or a
percentage. It indicates the suggested width of the table, although
the browser can ignore this if it is not possible. A "100%" value
means the table will span across the entire browser window.
<P>
You can specify the width of the border around the table with the BORDER
attribute. This attribute only affects the width of that border, not of
the lines between table cells. If the attribute is omitted, no border
will be drawn.
<P>
However, you can increase the whitespace inside a table. The CELLPADDING
attribute indicates how many pixels there should be between a cell's
contents and the border. CELLSPACING indicates how much whitespace
(in pixels) there should be between individual cells.
<P>
As an example, here is a table from the HTML 3.0 draft:
<PRE>
&lt;TABLE BORDER=1&gt;
  &lt;CAPTION&gt;A test table with merged cells&lt;/CAPTION&gt;
  &lt;TR&gt;&lt;TH ROWSPAN=2&gt;&lt;TH COLSPAN=2&gt;Average
  &lt;TH ROWSPAN=2&gt;other&lt;BR&gt;category&lt;TH&gt;Misc
  &lt;TR&gt;&lt;TH&gt;height&lt;TH&gt;weight
  &lt;TR&gt;&lt;TH ALIGN=LEFT&gt;males&lt;TD&gt;1.9&lt;TD&gt;0.003
  &lt;TR&gt;&lt;TH ALIGN=LEFT ROWSPAN=2&gt;females&lt;TD&gt;1.7&lt;TD&gt;0.002
&lt;/TABLE&gt;
</PRE>
<P>
This could appear as follows, in a text browser:
<PRE>
          A test table with merged cells
/--------------------------------------------------\ 
|          |      Average      |  other   |  Misc  |

\--------------------------------------------------/
</PRE>

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Some browsers (in particular, the 1.x, 2.x and 3.x versions of Netscape) do not
honor the ALIGN attribute on a table with a value of CENTER. For these browsers, enclose
the entire table in a <A HREF="./block/center.html">CENTER</A> or &lt;<A HREF="./block/div.html">DIV</A> ALIGN=CENTER&gt; tag.
<LI>The downside of the above workaround is that on browsers that do
<EM>not</EM> support tables, but <EM>do</EM> support centered text,
the <EM>contents</EM> of the table will be rendered as centered. In
some cases, this can be "fixed" by enclosing the contents of the
table cell with something like &lt;<A HREF="./block/p.html">P</A> ALIGN=LEFT&gt;.
<LI>Avoid using pixel widths for a table. They force that the browser
window is sized to a particular width to see the entire table, which
is not always desirable, let alone possible.
<LI>Tables are often used for page layout purposes. This is not
recommended, since it totally screws up the display for browsers which
do not support tables, and it also often gives awkward results on small
screens.
<LI>Earlier drafts of HTML 3.2 allowed the BORDER attribute to be
given without value (and then the value defaulted to 1). The final
version only permits BORDER=n.
<!-- Some browsers do not render TABLE BORDER=0 identical to TABLE
without a border attribute whatsoever. Bleh. -->
<LI>The HTML 3 draft did not include the values for the
BORDER attribute, so browsers which use this table model might draw
a border around your table when you use BORDER=0.
<LI>An empty table cell is typically drawn differently than a non-empty
cell. If you need a table cell with non content, but with the same
appareance as a non-empty cell, put "&amp;nbsp;" in the cell.

<P>
The TD tag is used to mark up individual cells inside a table row. It
may contain almost all tags, including nested tables. If the cell
is a label of some sort, use <A HREF="./table/th.html">TH</A> instead of TD.
<P>
The NOWRAP attribute indicates the contents of the current cell should
not be wrapped. You must use <A HREF="./special/br.html">BR</A> in the cell to force line breaks
to prevent the entire cell from showing up as just one line.
<P>
The ROWSPAN and COLSPAN attributes indicate how many rows or columns
this cell overlaps. If you use these attributes, make sure you count 
correctly or you can get some <EM>very</EM> weird results.
<P>
The ALIGN and VALIGN attributes control the horizontal and vertical
alignment of the current cell. ALIGN can be set for left, right or centered
cells. VALIGN indicates that the table cell's contents should appear
at the top, the middle or the bottom of the row. 
Note that align and valign attributes for a
cell override the values set for the row.
<P>
The WIDTH and HEIGHT attributes can be used to suggest a width and
height for this cell. This should be a value in pixels. Setting 
different widths for multiple cells in the same column, or different
heights for multiple cells in one row can cause unexpected effects.
<P>
For an example on how to construct tables, please see the section
on the <A HREF="./table/table.html">TABLE</A> tag.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>While it's not strictly required, it is good practice to close each
table cell explicitly. It makes your table easier to read.
<LI>If you include a table inside a table cell, be sure to close all
cells and rows. It is not required, but some browsers get the nested tables
wrong and render them incorrectly.
<LI>An empty cell is usually rendered differently than a cell with
just whitespace inside it. This especially shows if you have a border
defined for your table.
<LI>If you use images in a table cell, be sure to specify the WIDTH
and HEIGHT attributes in the <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A> tag. This allows the browser to
determine the size of the cell in advance, so it can draw the table
before the image is loaded. Otherwise, the table will not appear until
the image has been loaded. This can mean a considerable delay before
your page displays.

<P>
The TEXTAREA tag, used inside <A HREF="./block/form.html">FORM</A>s, sets up an area in which the
user can type text. This text will be sent to the server when the form
is submitted. The user can enter more than one line (as opposed to &lt;<A HREF="./form/input.html">INPUT</A>
TYPE=text&gt; which only permits one line), although he will have to
break lines himself.
<P>
The NAME attribute assigns the text area a name, used by the script which
processes the form. ROWS and COLS are used to specify the height and width
of the text area, in number of characters.
<P>
To supply default text for the text area, put it inside the TEXTAREA tag.
You may not use markup for this default value.
  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Not all browsers send the linebreaks that users type (if they do so
at all), so your script may have to rewrap the text itself.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>While it's not strictly required, it is good practice to close each
table cell explicitly. It makes your table easier to read.
<LI>If you include a table inside a table cell, be sure to close all
cells and rows. It is not required, but some browsers get the nested tables
wrong and render them incorrectly.
<LI>An empty cell is usually rendered differently than a cell with
just whitespace inside it. This especially shows if you have a border
defined for your table.
<LI>If you use images in a table cell, be sure to specify the WIDTH
and HEIGHT attributes in the <A HREF="./special/img.html">IMG</A> tag. This allows the browser to
determine the size of the cell in advance, so it can draw the table
before the image is loaded. Otherwise, the table will not appear until
the image has been loaded. This can mean a considerable delay before
your page displays.

<P>
Each document must have exactly one TITLE element. This element provides
the title of the document. It is usually displayed at the top
of the browser's window, but also used to label a bookmark entry for
the document and as a caption in search engine results.
<P>
It may only contain text and entities, but no markup.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>Make sure the TITLE tag is also useful out of context. It should
still be understandable when it is used as label in a bookmarks file.
<LI>Although it is legal to use entities inside TITLE, not all
browsers are able to handle these properly. It is recommended that
you restrict yourself to the characters
32-126 decimal from <A HREF="../charset/index.html">ISO Latin 1</A>.
<LI>Netscape 1.x had a bug with respect to titles. When more than one
TITLE tag was used in the <A HREF="./head/head.html">HEAD</A>, it would display them in a sequence,
causing a "marquee" effect. This bug has been fixed in later versions.

<P>
HTML tables are constructed as a sequence of rows. Each row of table
cells should be enclosed in a TR tag. The end tag is optional, since
it is usually obvious to see where a row ends - where the new row
begins, or where the entire table ends.
<P>
The ALIGN and VALIGN attributes control the horizontal and vertical
alignment of the entire row. ALIGN can be set for left, right or centered
cells. VALIGN indicates that the table cell's contents should appear
at the top, the middle or the bottom of the row. 
<P>
For an example on how to construct tables, please see the section
on the <A HREF="./table/table.html">TABLE</A> tag.

The TT tag specifies that the enclosed text should be rendered in a
teletype (monospaced) font. This can be used to simulate typewriter
output. If possible, use <A HREF="./phrase/code.html">CODE</A>, <A HREF="./phrase/samp.html">SAMP</A> or <A HREF="./phrase/kbd.html">KBD</A> instead. These
tags allow the browser to pick a suitable rendering for each specific
case, instead of the generic rendering you get with TT. It also makes
the job easier for convertors and search robots.

front of it. If you need numbering, use <A HREF="./list/ol.html">OL</A> for an ordered list.
<P>
The type of bullet can be suggested with the TYPE attribute. You have
three possible styles: "disc" for a closed bullet, "square" for an open
square and "circle" for an open bullet. The COMPACT attribute is used to
indicate that the list items are short, so the browser can render the list
more compact. For example, it could put more than one item on a line.

<UL>

<LI>Do not put anything but <A HREF="./list/li.html">LI</A> list items inside an UL.

<P>
U is used to indicate the enclosed text should be underlined. As most
browsers use underlining to indicate hyperlinks, try to avoid this tag.
It can confuse your users if they see "hyperlinks" that do not work.
<P>
Underlining is an alternative rendering for italic text (for example,
on typewriters). Since HTML has an <A HREF="./font/i.html">I</A> tag for italics, use that
if this is what you are using U for.

  <H3>Notes:</H3>

<P>
VAR is used to mark up variables, for example in discussions of
computer programs. Using this tag allows programs to automatically
generate lists of the used variables. Example: "The variable
&lt;VAR&gt;c&lt;/VAR&gt; is used as a counter in this program."

  <H3>Notes:</H3>
<UL>

<LI>VAR will usually be rendered in a monospaced font, but multiple spaces
are collapsed, unlike in <A HREF="./block/pre.html">PRE</A>. This can screw up the spacing in
your VAR if you want to provide more than one line.
