HTML Tags (version 3.2 Wilbur) Note: Document currently bein g edited Because HTML continues to evolve, many different variations exist in how some of these tags are used and different browsers may have a different effect when laying out a page using these tags. If a browser encounters a tag it does not recognize, the default action in this case is to ignore the tags. Also, in this document, the tags are listed in all-caps, but the tags themselves are case-insensitive. Some of the tags have required and optional attributes. Attributes for tags are given after the tag, separated from the tag by white space, which includes spaces, tabs, or line breaks. For example, the IMG tag, which places an image on the page has an SRC attribute which specifies the location of the image, and is shown as follows: <IMG SRC="http://www.eng.hawaii.edu/Icons/caution.gif"&g t; Note the quotation marks surrounding the value of the option, SRC. Unless the value of an attribute is made entirely of numbers, the quotation marks should be used for attributes. This document is divided into pertinent sections, with related groups of tags placed in separate pages.
