Welcome to the Basic HTML Help Page!
Please click on a subject or just scroll down.
Images
To use an image, first find a picture you wish to use. Then click on it with the right mouse button if you have Windows 95+ and it is on the internet, then click on save as. If not, find a way to save it. I've actually never saved on anything less than 95. Choose a location for it. Then use the following example using the file name. <img src="IMAGE_HERE"> with IMAGE_HERE as your image. You can also set height. For instance, cool-bar.gif is a bar I have, dimentions 1x600. I will set it to a 100% form, using this command. <img src=bar-cool.gif height=1 width=100%>
Fonts and Sizes
There are 3 different ways to make your fonts look different sizes. There are the <H1>-<H6>tags, and there are the <FONT SIZE=1>-<FONT SIZE=6>tags. There is also a few other ones such as <SMALL>, but for the most part it's better to use the <FONT> or <H> tags. The title above you uses the code <FONT SIZE=+2> Fonts and Sizes </FONT> You will note the fact that the title is bigger then the rest of the text. Let's compare a few codes. <H2>Testing H2</H2><H3>Testing H3</H3><FONT SIZE=+3>Testing FONT+3</FONT><SMALL>Testing Small</SMALL><FONT SIZE=-1>Testing Font-1</FONT>

Links
Take a favorite site and it's name. Insert the following command into you document: <a herf="URL_HERE">NAME HERE</A> replacing URL_HERE with the URL and NAME HERE with the name of your site. You may use images as link. For example, this code will give the image to link to my main web site. <A HREF=http://geocities.datacellar.net/brp13/><img src=clickhr.gif></A>

Fun with Colors
Okay, let's have some more fun. How do you do Colors? Well, it's fairly easy. Remember the FONT command from Fonts and Sizes? If not, that's okay. Anyways, here's the code that you would use to use colors. I will give 2 different examples of colors. <FONT COLOR=9999FF>Test 1</FONT><BR> <FONT COLOR=336699>Test 2</FONT> Test 1
Test 2

Basic Text
Just type it in using <BR> to go to the next line. It sould be between the body and /body tags.

Other HTML
Look at the sorce of programs to view how they did it and insert the same comand into your page! Almost all broswers do have a source code, look at view first.
