HTML Tutorial


Chapter 4: Other Tags

The 'center' tag

The center tag pretty much explains itself. The opening center tag is <center> and the closing center tag is </center>. Whatever you put between will be centered on the current line.

Example of 'center' tag:

Public Works
(<center>Public Works</center>)



The 'body' attributes

In Chapter 1 you learned the BODY tag. The BODY tag has many attributes. Here are a the most useful ones:
  • BACKGROUND="location_of_image" (background image)
  • BGCOLOR="#hexadecimal_here" (background color)
  • LINK="#hexadecimal_here" (color of links)
  • VLINK="#hexadecimal_here" (color of links the user has already visited)
  • TEXT="#hexadecimal_here" (text color)
