| <body> <a name="top"> Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow - a poor player who struts and frets his brief hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

The body of the document
is what the user sees. The browser acts on the tags (the things in the
arrow brackets) to control the appearance of the page.
The "target" (or paragraph name) "top" can be used in conjunction with the "back to top" link at the bottom of a long document, to bounce the user back to the top of the page. |

Notes:
Click HERE to see the page in the example. Click HERE for more information about tables and paragraph names. Please note that most people's First Assignments have been put in their mailboxes. If you submitted yours by e-mail, and if you haven't heard anything by Tuesday afternoon, please drop the instructor a note. We have been experiencing some e-mail problems.
You can write a Web page using
any text editor. On the PCs, you can use "Notepad". On the Suns, you
can use "Text Editor". Save the file as a plain text (ASCII) file with
the extension ".html", for instance, "mypage.html". To save it on a
floppy, save it as "a:mypage.html". Note that, in the Lab, html files
are associated with Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, if you store
your page and pictures on the "A" drive, Explorer will display the text
portion of your page, but will not be able to find the pictures.
To display your page properly, open Netscape, then have Netscape open
the file. This is a feature of the Lab, not of Explorer.
