Tip for this month
If you're a budding HTML author (HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language)
and want to learn how to make great looking Web pages, use your browser's
View Source or View Document function to look at the HTML code behind
cool pages that you find on the Web.
This will show you the HTML tags used by the author, and give you some
tips and good ideas you can use for your own pages. However, be warned
that copying images, content and certain design features may be breaching
the author's copyright, so by all means use them for inspiration, but
don't plagiarise!
Some pages are generated on-the-fly using cgi (common gateway interface)
scripts, and in these cases, you will only see the result of running
that script, not the script itself. The scripts draw on information
held in flat files or databases, or details entered by you into an
online form of some kind, then add pre-defined HTML tags to display
the result in your browser.
If you have a favourite URL you'd like to share with us, drop a line
