HTML How To

9/29/99

Objective: Describe and show examples of HTML tags in use. For all the pages you can use the view source option in the browser to view the actual HTML code. When you view the code, you may notice comments (denoted by the <!-- and --> tags). Anything falling within these tags are ignored by the browser. I welcome comments concerning what you would like to see added to this page.
