HTML Notebook

One of the neat (and bothersome) things about HTML, is that the statements can be used anywhere in the text. When you are writing a page and you want to DISPLAY a command however, it's kinda difficult without actually activating the command.



For this reason, they came up with a neat little command that mimics the < and > signs. Ampersand (or &) LT; for "<", and Ampersand GT; for ">"

REMEMBER if you DECLARE an HTML statement, you must END that statement, or it might not work. (Example <CENTER> </CENTER> Everything between the Center's declaration and ending will be centered).
Although this does not apply to ALL HTML statements, it does apply to MOST statements. If you declare a <TABLE> and fail to close it or one of it's elements, NOTHING past the <TABLE> declaration will appear on your page and you will be left scratching your head as to why it dosent work.

Anchors <Name>

Sometimes you want to "jump about" within the same page, for example see the Ham Radio page. Notice at the top there is a bar for "local and national clubs" and so on? That was done with the use of Anchors (Internal Hyperlinks).

To propperly use a internal hyperlink, find the place on your page that you want to jump to and insert the following code:

<A NAME="dealers"> </A>

Where "dealers" is the name you want for your link. Then where you click to go TO that part of the page, just put:

<A HREF="#dealers">Dealers Listing </A>

  You can also jump from one page to a specific part of another page!

Example: <A HREF="ham.html#ar-ring">
