When using multiple codes, close them in the reverse order that they were opened. (For example: open ABCD; close DCBA) Text appearing in blue is an example or indicates where you need to enter your own specific information. |
| ALT CODES |
alt="name of image" Place before closing > of your graphics code. Text in " " will show up in the image block when loading or when cursor is over the loaded image. |
| BLINK |
<blink></blink> - Makes text blink if viewer is using Netscape. |
| BLOCKQUOTE |
<blockquote></blockquote> - Indents text from both sides; can be used in multiples. |
| BOLD |
<bold></bold> OR <b></b> - Makes text appear bold. |
|
BORDERS Keep Text Off |
<table width=70% align=right><tr><td> - Place after link color codes. </td></tr></table> - Place just before the ending body and html codes at the end of the page. These codes will keep graphics and text from overlapping a border. Change the percentage depending on the width of the border. Smaller border width needs larger percentage since the pecentage applies to the rest of the page. |
|
BORDERS Keep Stationary |
bgproperties="fixed" Place after border code before closing >. Will keep border stationary as the rest of the page scrolls. |
| CENTER |
<center></center> - Centers the text or image. |
| FONTS |
<font color="#006633"></font> Determines color of text. If another specific color isn't indicated for sections of the text, it will appear in whatever color number was coded in the opening body codes at the top of the page.<font family="font name"></font> Determines the font of the text. If a specific font is coded and the viewer doesn't have that font loaded on his computer, the page as he's viewing it will use his default font. This may change the look of your page, so it's actually better not to code in a font family but to leave the fancy fonts for graphics.<font size="#3"></font> Determines size of the text. The larger the number in " ", the larger the text size.NOTE: Although opening font codes require specific information such as size or color, closing font codes require only the word "font". |
