<TAGS> open </TAGS> closed
Most tags come in pairs.
The open tag turns on a function
and the close tag turns it off. (Didn't realize it was that easy)
Tags we have used:
<HTML></HTML> opens and closes the complete page.
<HEAD></HEAD> This is the first part of the page and is used for hidden things.
<TITLE></TITLE> is one of the tags used in the <HEAD> tag
<BODY></BODY> All normal page content will go between the BODY tags
variables are used within the tag itself.
variables we have used in the BODY tag so far.
bgcolor="" Background Color
text="#" Text Color
link="#" Link Color
vlink="#" Visited Link Color
alink="#" Active Link Color
background="" Background graphic
<CENTER></CENTER> To center content on the page
 Used with variables for Color, Size, Face, etc.
 Makes a font Bold (A list of font tags below)
 New line Paragraph (a larger space than BR)
These are usually used without corresponding closing tags.
<IMG > One of the few tags which has no closing tag variables we have used in the IMAGE TAG src="" the name of the graphic
WIDTH="", HEIGHT="" Sizes of the graphic
BORDER="" puts a border a specified number of pixels wide around the graphic
ALT="" The name which shows when a mouse is passed over the graphic
<A></A> This is used to enclose a link. Everything between the tags will become a link.
We used it with the variable HREF="" and another page name entered between the parentheses
