Basic HTML tags Introducing the basic HTML tags used to describe the format of a web page. A web browser reads an HTML page from a remote web server and displays the formatted page to a viewer. Web browsers are provided by netscape, mosiac, microsoft etc.
	Form filling A form provides a mechanism whereby the viewer of a web page can enter and return information to the web server. The web server, processes this information by executing a (Common gateway Interface) CGI script. The CGI script is written in an appropriate programming language.
	CGI scripts A program / JCL command file executed on the web server in response to a user request. A CGI script is usually executed to process the data sent when a form filled in by a user is sent back to the web server.
	New HTML New HTML tags, <FRAMESET> etc. Not all browsers will support these features.
	System programming Some CGI scripts that I have found useful.

This document describes some of the version 3 features of HTML and extensions recognized by Netscape 1.1 or later browsers.

In describing HTML the aim has been to concentrate on the more widely used and useful features. However, in many ways this still remains a personal selection.

The following symbol is used in this document:

It is a hypertext link to a web page containing examples of HTML features under discussion. The reader can if they wish modify the text to try out their own ideas of style and formatting.

The best way of using this feature is to open a new window containing this link. Then after trying out the features close the window to continue browsing the original document.
In Netscape this is achieved by moving the cursor over the symbol and pressing the right mouse button. This selects a series of options contained in a pop up window. Select the option to start a new window / browser with this link.
