D.J. Quad's HTML Tag Reference List
<GETTING STARTED>
All tags are enclosed in <Brackets>. Most tags have a <Start> tag, an </End> with a / (front slash) to end
the tag.
Sometimes, there are different tag variations to
accomplish the same thing with "The Big 2" - Netscape and Explorer. If you
encounter one, always use the HTML Standard. Please remember this was all documented at
the time of this writing, the Browser-Specific Tag could be supported by the other browser
any time a new version is released. Since each browser claims to eventually fully support
the other's Tags, the best way to test it is simply to review your site with Internet
Explorer 3.0, Internet Explorer 4.0, Netscape 3.0, and Netscape 4.0. These make up the
bulk of the Web Browsers, but if you really want to test it, also use AOL and Lynx.
This Tag Reference wasn't meant to start you off
from fresh, because when beginners are trying to accomplish an effect, they have no idea
what Tag will accomplish it. There will be many links that go to specific tags listed in
this reference, outside of the reference. For example, if you're going through the
Table Tutorial, there will be links
to the <TABLE>, <TR>,
<TD> Tags for reference, and so on.
Throughout the Tag Reference there will be two
icons. One that says <Example>, which will show you the effect it displays, and the
other one that says <HTML Code>, which will show you the HTML source of the effect
it displays.
This is centered
This isn't
<p align="center">This is
centered</p>
<p>This isn't</p>
This might seem like common sense, but I still get messages
about it so I'll go over it again. In this Tag Reference, there are browser-specific tags.
If you are using Netscape and you come across a Tag that makes the example look normal or
strange, it means Netscape doesn't support the Tag you're viewing. When all browsers come
across a Tag it doesn't recognize, it will skip it. For example, if there is a Tag called <SUPERBOLD>, even though the code has
this in it, it won't show the effect.
This text is <SUPERBOLD>Very Bold</SUPERBOLD>
This text is Very Bold
Since your browser doesn't support the fictitious <SUPERBOLD> Tag, it ignores it.
