Lesson 9 |
Another little widget that you will find yourself using a lot is the Horizontal Rule.
<BODY> <HR> </BODY>
 |
We have a few options available to us...
<BODY> <HR WIDTH=20%> <HR WIDTH=50%> <HR WIDTH=100%> <HR WIDTH=20> <HR WIDTH=50> <HR WIDTH=100> </BODY>
|
This one is pretty self explanatory.
<BODY> <HR WIDTH=60% ALIGN="left"> <HR WIDTH=60% ALIGN="right"> <HR WIDTH=60% ALIGN="center"> </BODY>
|
We can control the thickness of the line...
<BODY> <HR WIDTH=60% SIZE=1> <HR WIDTH=60% SIZE=3> <HR WIDTH=60% SIZE=8> <HR WIDTH=60% SIZE=15> </BODY>
|
And we can make it a solid line.
<BODY> <HR WIDTH=60% SIZE=1 NOSHADE> <HR WIDTH=60% SIZE=3 NOSHADE> <HR WIDTH=60% SIZE=8 NOSHADE> <HR WIDTH=60% SIZE=15 NOSHADE> </BODY>
|
Remember when I said that the browser doesn't understand formatting, it just displays text in a steady stream? Kind of like this...
<BODY>
///\\___
(@ @)
+----oOO----(_)-----------+
| BARRY GOLDWATER |
| for |
| President |
+-----------------oOO-----+
|__|__|
|| ||
ooO Ooo
</BODY>
///\\___ (@ @) +----oOO----(_)-----------+ | BARRY GOLDWATER | | for | | President | +-----------------oOO-----+ |__|__| || || ooO Ooo
|
Well, with the <PRE> (preformat) tag, we can put a stop to that and have things displayed the way we type them.
<BODY>
<PRE>
///\\___
(@ @)
+----oOO----(_)-----------+
| BARRY GOLDWATER |
| for |
| President |
+-----------------oOO-----+
|__|__|
|| ||
ooO Ooo
</PRE>
</BODY>
///\\___
(@ @)
+----oOO----(_)-----------+
| BARRY GOLDWATER |
| for |
| President |
+-----------------oOO-----+
|__|__|
|| ||
ooO Ooo
|
Notice that a monospaced font is used.
The last tag we're going to discuss is a comment.
<BODY> <!--This is a comment--> This is not <P>A comment can be placed anywhere in the document and the browser will ignore everything inside the brackets. You can insert hidden messages, <!--Hi Mom!--> notes to yourself, <!--Pick up milk--> or write a helpful message to someone looking at the source of your page.<!--Copy anything off me and you're dead meat!--> </BODY>

Just to be absolutely clear, the comment must start with <!-- and end with -->
You can (usually) even put other html tags in a comment and they
will be ignored. The browser will just keep ignoring everything
until it sees a -->
