LOWSRC=(name)
Utilized in the <IMG SRC> tag
Usually, people use the LOWSRC command to make two images load in one area (one after the other). The first image (LOWSRC) has lower resolution thus, loading quickly, then it is filled in and over by the SRC (the bigger sized file). See an exmaple of how this works at my main Reports Page.
<NOBR>
(text not wished to be broken with a break)
</NOBR>
Doing this sometimes cause problems because your text will run off the screen.
This is usually reserved for odd character sequences. Try to use this in limitation.
<OL>
(list to be ordered goes here)
</OL>
See <LI> for example
<P>
Creates a line break like

this... this break is bigger than the <BR>

<PRE>
(preformatted text goes here)
</PRE>
This is a useful tag when you want your text to be 
		WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).
Extra space  and 	tab commands get ignored when doing HTML,
but when you use this tag, they text will appear 
e
 xactly as you type it.

The title "HTML In A Jiffy" that you see at the very top of your browser is what will appear.
<TT>
(text that wants to appear like a typewriter goes here)
</TT>
This text is utilizing the Type Text tag
<UL>
(list that is unordered goes here)
</UL>
See <LI> for examples.
<WBR>
(usually used in association with nobr when you know where you want the sequence to be broken)
This does not force a line break the way <BR> would. It simply helps your browser to know where to possibly break the sequence if applicable. In this <NOBR> situation, I placed a <WBR> after "helps" and after "if", as well as the "helps" in this sentence.
