NOTE: Anchor tags (<A> and </A>) should be innermost - don't put other tags within anchor tags.

Tables:

<TABLE BORDER= CELLPADDING= CELLSPACING= WIDTH= HEIGHT= BGCOLOR or BACKGROUND=>

<TR> (Place at front and end of each new row) </TR>

<TD> (Data cell - contains text, image, movie. Attributes: BGCOLOR, BACKGROUND, ALIGN, VALIGN, WIDTH, HEIGHT, COLSPAN, ROWSPAN - no end tag needed)

<TH COLSPAN=2> (Table Heading - use instead of <TD> to create headings spanning more than one column) </TH>

</TABLE>

NOTE: Tables have no borders by default. However it's helpful to use a border of at least "1" during construction so that you can see the format; then set BORDER=0. Individual Table cells can have different BGCOLOR or BACKGROUND, and contain text, images, movies, etc.

Misc.
ALIGN=LEFT / RIGHT / CENTER

VALIGN=TOP / MIDDLE / BOTTOM

(Attributes placed in Image, Text or Space Tags, eg. <IMG SRC ALIGN=RIGHT>)
<!_ _ _ _> (used to 'comment out' and deactivate contents)

<A HREF="mailto:f.endsley@artic.edu">Send me email.</A>

(opens browsers email connection to 'mailto' address)
NOTE: Dimensions of images can be 'autoscaled' by entering larger or smaller values for WIDTH and HEIGHT.
