Parameter |
Description |
ALINK |
The color for the active link. |
LINK |

VLINK |
The color of shortcuts that have already been visited. |
BACKGROUND |

CLASS |
Class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a subclassed style sheet with the tag. |
ID |
SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underscore character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position. |

Specifies the language the current script is written in and invokes the
proper scripting engine. The default value is JAVASCRIPT. |
LEFTMARGIN |

RIGHTMARGIN |
The right margin of the document to be set in pixels. |
BOTTOMMARGIN |
The bottom margin of the document to be set in pixels. |
TOPMARGIN |

SCROLL |

STYLE |
Inline style sheet for the tag. |
TEXT |

TITLE |
The TITLE attribute is for advisory information (unless used with a mailto: attribute). The Title attribute should provide the title of the document whose address is given by the HREF attribute. The contents of the title attribute will be displayed in a tooltip during the mouse moves on the link. Internet Explorer 4.0 (and above) is the only browser to implement this. |
