Picture Links
Picture Links are pretty much the same as normal links except you put a picture tag instead of text.
<A HREF="link.com"><IMG SRC="picture.gif"></A>
Here's what it looks like
As you can see there is a border around the image indicating it is a link. If you don't like it just use BORDER=0.
<A HREF="www.geocities.com/Area51/Quadrant/7330"><IMG SRC="canflag.gif" BORDER=0></A>

Anchour
These are those special links that jump to a point in the same page. They are used throughout this page like the "Back to top" link below.
<A HREF="#anchour1">Click Anchour 1</A>
This is the "link" part that you click on.
<A NAME="#anchour1">
This you put on the point the link will jump to. It's not visible to the user. The name is not to important is best to use something that relates to the point your jumping to. You have to have the "#" though.

Body Tag
The body tag lets you set the default colors and background of your page.
The layout for your page is this:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>The title that apears in the Blue Bar at the top goes here</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="colour code here">
The page code goes right here
</BODY>
</HTML>

Here are some parameters that will make your page look cool.
BACKGROUND="picture.gif" - Use this in place of "BGCOLOR" to place an image as the background.
TEXT="colour code" - This is the colour of normal text.
LINK="colour code" - This is the colour of links.
VLINK="colour code" - This is the colour of a visited link.
ALINK="colour code" - This is the colour the link turns when the user clicks it.
Here it is all together.
<BODY BACKGROUND="pic.jpg" TEXT="FFFFFF" LINK="FF0000" VLINK="00FF00" ALINK="0000FF">

Frames
Frame commands have to placed in the HEAD and /HEAD tags for them to work.
<FRAMESET COLS="30%,70%" ROWS="15%">
-
COLS - Sets how many columes there are. Like tables they can be in pixels or a percentage of the screen.
-
ROWS - Sets how many rows there are. They can be in pixels or a percentage too.
<FRAME SRC="page.html" NAME="A"> - This tells the computer which html page to put in each frame. You need a frame src for every frame you make.
NAME - Assigns a name to a frame. If you click a link in one frame and another frame changes this is how it is done.
Here is the link code for putting a page in another frame.
<A HREF="page.html" TARGET="frame name">Frames</A>
Click Here to see what the frames look like. It will put this page in a 50/50 division (Check the source).
