Cynthia used power search and typed in html help. Out of the choices, she chose HTML, The Complete Guide. On this page she chose the Comprehensive listing, this is a page listing all the codes you can use to make HTML documents. This file is also clickable so you can see what each command does. This was the documented section, there are also an obsolete and undocumented section. The link is at the end of the report.
For my section (Ryan), I looked into backgrounds. I looked for information using Infoseek and typed in backgrounds. This took me into a couple of pages that took an extremely long time to load and were not worth it (the backgrounds sucked and I find it ironic that a site dedicated to having homepage backgrounds doesn't have any backgrounds on it). Anyway I looked into one link in Yahoo (unfortunately I don't remember the name and didn't write it down but clickhere), that allows you to change the background color, texture, link color and gives you a listing of a few hundred hex codes for a veritable cornucopia of colors. This site also allows you to input what you want and see a sample of what it would look like. Very useful and fun to fool around with.
Curtis looked in Netscape and clicked on the directory file. He then clicked on About the Internet, then assistance, and finally Extensions to HTML. This is what he found:
<is index> indicates the document is a sear chable index
<img width="x"height="y"> allows you to alter the size of an image also makes loading faster since the size of the image is known
<font size="x"> can change font size, the default is 3, the values are 1-7
<basefont size> changes the size of the standard font
<b> bold
<i> italics
That's it until next week kids.
