ignore me code allows you to insert comments into an HTML
document and have them completely ignored by the browser. This is
useful for such things as revision historiesand notes about how to
improve the document.
For example, this code
##########################################################The
declaration (technically it's not a "tag") should be the veryfirst
thing in your document... if you choose to use it at all. tells the
browser what version of HTML you are writing in. More specifically,
declares that this document conforms to a specific version of
HTML,and specifies what version that is.
The necessity of is a subject of much debate. The standards
publi
shed by W3C require the use of . However, much of the HTML being
written does not conform strictly the W3C specifications, and so
using (which is, after all, a claim that you conform to the
standards) would seemunnecessary.
This is the declaration for HTML version 3.2:
For HTML 4.0, the situation is a little more complicated. There
are three standard doctypes. The DTD for documents that strictly
conform (don't use any deprecated markup) and that aren't frameset
documents, use this :
For a not quite so strict conformance (uses some of the
deprecated markup such as ), use this :
Finally, for documents which are frameset documents (the "top"
document in a framed page), use this :

My Web PageMy Web PageLet's look at each part of that link:
Says that the Hypertext REFerence for this anchor is the file
"mywebpage.html".When an anchor makes a hypertext reference, we
call it a "link".My Web PageThis is the text which appears on the
web page. This text is usually highlightedin some way, such as
coloring it blue, to indicate that it is "hypertext" (if you click
on it, something happens).
Closes the anchorThis is the simplest type of anchor, but it is
probably the kind you will use by

for NAME = "text string"
NAME gives the anchor a name. Other links target the anchor
using that name. This allows you to link to specific places within
the page.
For example, suppose you have a long page with a section about
purchasing. You could create a named anchors in the sub-header for
that section like this:
PurchasingNote that the tag goes inside the tags. Unlike an
anchor that uses HREF, a named anchor doesn't change the appearance
of the text (unless you set styles for that anchor) or indicate in
any way that there is anything specialabout the text. The purpose
of the name is that another anchor can link to thenamed anchor.
To link to a named anchor, add a hash mark to the end of the URL
of the page fol
lowed by the name. For example, to link to a section named
purchasing within thepage called anameexample.html we would create
a link like this:
Purchasing######################################################Attribute
for TARGET = "_blank" "_parent" "_self" "_top" window name
TARGET controls where the new document will be displayed when
the user follows alink. Most of the time, clicking on a link simply
loads a new document in the same window where the link was.
However, with TARGET, you can have the new document open in a new
window, or if you are using frames, in another frame.
TARGET = "_blank"
"_blank" opens the new document in a new window.
this code produces thisa new window
TARGET = "_parent"
"_parent" is used in the situation where a frameset file is
nested inside another frameset file. A link in one of the inner
frameset documents which uses "_parent" will load the new document
where the inner frameset file had been.
Want a more complete explanation? Here's the idea in
pictures.
For example, this anchor:
bigframe
TARGET = "_self"
"_self" puts the new document in the same window and frame as
the current document. "_self" works the same as if you had not used
TARGET at all.
this code produces this
go to next page
TARGET = "_top"

"_top" loads the linked document in the topmost frame... that
is, the new page fills the entire window.
this code produces thistop
TARGET = window name
window name is used to put the linked document in a frame or
window other than the frame the link is in.
For example, this link

"text string"
W3C says that TITLE is "an advisory title for the linked
resource". The idea is
that TITLE gives a description of the linked resource that is
more informative than the URL
