Basic formatting codes for your page

<br> This is a line break. It puts a break between each lines, without adding an extra space between the lines.

<p></p> This is a paragraph break. It puts a break between the lines, and adds a space between the lines.

<center></center> Everything between the two values of this code will be centered on your page.

<i></i> Italics. Anything between these two values will be shown in italics.

<em></em> Emphasis. Basically the same thing as the italics code.

<b></b> Bold. Everything between these two values will be shown in bold typing.

<strong></strong> Strong code. Basically the same thing as the bold code.

<u></u> Underline. Anything within the two values will be underlined.

<strike></strike> Strike code. Anything within the two values will have a strike through the middle of the text.

<span style="text-decoration: overline"></span> Over line code. Anything within the two values will have an line over them.

<span style="text-decoration: overline underline"></span> This code is used for overlined and underlined text.

<hr> Horizontal Rule. Puts a horizontal line across your page.

<hr width="2" size="200"> In this instance horizontal rule is used to make a vertical line. To make the vertical line longer change the size amount.

<title></title> Title code. What ever is put between the two values will be shown at the very top of the web browser.

<font size=10></font> Font size code. Whatever is between the two values will have the font size in which you indicate. Everything outside of the code will be different.

<font color=orange></font> Font color code. Anything within the two values will be whatever color you indicate. You can use names of basic colors or the numbers off color code charts.

<body bgcolor="#000000"> Use this code to change the background color of your page.

<pre></pre> Allows you to put as many spaces between text as you like. Most browsers only allow one space between characters, using this code you can put as many spaces as you like.

Add a link to your page

<a href="URL link>Name of link</a>

example: LadyWish

This link is set up to open in a new window. There are targets you must consider. If you wish to open the link in the same window then the code would look like this.

<a target="_top" href="http://l-a-d-y-w-i-s-h.com/">LadyWish</a>

the target  is _top. To open in a new window then you should use the target _blank. If you wish to open the link inside an iframe, then you should use the name of the iframe with an underscore before it.

Add Images to your page

<img src="URL to image here"> This allows you to put images on your page.

If you wish to use your images as clickable links then you use this code here:

<a href="URL LINK"><img src="URL to image here"></a>

To make an image your background use this code.

<body background="URL to image">

For a fixed background (means it's still, doesn't move at all) use this code.

<body background="URL to the image you used as your background" bgproperties="fixed">

Marquees

This allows you to get very creative with your pages.
<marquee>Text Here</marquee> Basic Marquee {put text between the two codes}
<marquee behavior=slide direction=left> Text Here</marquee> This marquee scrolls in from the right and stop on the left side of the page
<marquee behavior="alternate">Text Here</marquee> This marquee bounces back and forth  - right to left across your page
<marquee bgcolor="yellow">Yext Here</marquee> Adds a background color to your marquee (use basic color words or hex coloring codes
<marquee behavior=scroll direction="left">Text Here</marquee> Directional marquee (change the left value to up, down, left, or right)
<marquee behavior=scroll direction="left" scrollamount="5">Text Here</marquee> To change the speed of your marquee
<marquee><img src="URL for PIC"></marquee> To scroll pictures
<marquee width="20%" bgColor="#D2B982" style="color: #1D1502">TEXT HERE</marquee><marquee direction="right" width="20%" bgColor="#968E7B">TEXT HERE</marquee><marquee width="20%" bgColor="#D2B982" style="color: #1D1502">TEXT HERE</marquee><marquee direction="right" width="20%" bgColor="#968E7B">TEXT HERE</marquee> Very cool marquee
Example:
TEXT HERE TEXT HERE TEXT HERE TEXT HERE
<marquee direction=up scrolldelay=10 scrollamount=3 width=100%
style="filter:wave(add=5, phase=1, freq=3, lightStrength=40,
strength=25);color:#435E7A"><center>T<br>E<br>X<br>T<br><br> H<br>E<br>R<br>E</marquee>
My all time favorite marquee VERY IMPORTANT: when making this marquee, you have to put a line break between each letter, or it won't turn out like this. However you can make the same marquee without using line breaks and it will just be a vertical marquee with the wave filter.
Example:
T
E
X
T

H
E
R
E
<marquee direction="up" scrollamount="2" width=250 height=100 onmouseover='this.stop()' onmouseout='this.start()'><center>Add text here<center></marquee> This is a nice marquee to scroll news or information. It has a mouse over effect, which stops the text from scrolling while the mouse is over it, once you move the mouse off, then it will continue to scroll.
Add text here

Button Links

To add a button to your page use this code:

<input type="button" Value="Name to show on the button" ONCLICK="window.open('URL to the link you wish to open')">

Example: 

The link will open in a new window. Please use the full URL, including http:// as I have been advised by someone that only using www. doesn't work.

Do's And Don'ts

There are only a few things I can tell you from this point. Always make sure that all your tags or values are closed. Be extra careful with > symbols at the end of codes. If you leave one out, it can mess up your whole page. Don't be afraid to try something new. If you are working with HTML then chances are you are a creative individual. So let your creativity flow. If you have any questions at all, you can email me at webmaster@l-a-d-y-w-i-s-h.com . I can't always answer everything, but if I don't know it, I will find the answer some where.

A lot of times people work really hard on their site, especially new people learning codes and things. Many of those times people feel it necessary to put a no right click code on their page. My advice would be for you to not do it. One reason is simply this, if any one wants to know the code to something on your page, no matter how well you try to protect it, by no right click, hiding source, encrypting, iframes, css, and so forth, if that person really wants to know the code, they can find it. It doesn't take much time at all either. Another reason I advise against it is because it's annoying. I like to open links in separate windows. Therefore most of the time I right click on a link and click open in new window. Grant it I can use shift and click with the mouse to get it to open in a new window, but it just annoys me. And the last reason I advise against it is this... At some point you didn't know html. Chances are if you are like me, you learnt by viewing sources, tutorials, and sites such as this, that gives most of the basics. Why would you try and stop someone else from doing something you did? As hard as html can be, shouldn't we really be looking out for one another?

Revised statement about the above... sometimes there are assholes out there that just piss you off to no limits. Take credit for your work, put their name on your pages, and steal full coded layouts just because they can. I still advise not to add no right clicks, because they still do annoy me lol however I've stopped doing myleague league and interleague pages because of a couple or arrogant no creativity assholes that are just simply young dumb and stupid! To bad for all the good folks out there, but the fellows know who they are and just have to live with being jerks!
