<!----------------------------------------Background by Image:
BACKGROUND attribute.
Home pages will only display files ending
with the extensions .GIF or .JPG
In this case it was selected the image stored in
the file BGWite.jpg, that has to be in the same
folder of the computer where the file .htm of the
home page is stored .
The double quotes enveloping the name of the file
are essential

<P> <H3>Background (By means of images) and
<BR> BIG and SMALL </H3> Fonts

<P> The background is the same image of the
<BR> texture used in the initial pages.

<P> Here are examples of enlarging and
<BR> decreasing the size of fonts using the tags
<BR> <B> BIG </B> and <B> SMALL </B>:

<P> These <BIG> big letters </BIG> are greater than the rest of the line.
<BR> These <BIG> <BIG> big letters </BIG> </BIG> increased still more.

<BIG>
<P> These <SMALL> small letters </SMALL> are smaller than the rest of the line.

How to test the home page above:

[1] Download the file BGWite.jpg (1 Kb) to the same computer folder where this home page is to be stored clicking HERE. (Previously read through step [3] below).
This operation is necessary for the following tests in this course.

[2] Copy the codes from <HTML> to </HTML> into a new file using the Windows Notepad or a HTML editor.

[3] Save the file with whichever name but with the extension .htm or .html in a computer folder (suggested name for the folder: BasicHTML) specially created for holding this course test files.
This folder has to be the same where the file BGWite.jpg was saved in Step [1] above. This file contains the image for this and for the next tests in the course.

Suggestion for the name of the file: AATestXXX.htm where XXX is the number at the top of this screen. The double "A" will put the file name at the top of the list in the folder, making it easier to locate.

[4] Open the file by means of any browser to get the following home page:

Note the following remarks:

  1. The BACKGROUND attribute of the tag </BODY> automatically reproduces the image throughout the background. Choosing an image for the background one should care for having one that allows a seamless junction between the repeated images.

  2. The tags <BIG>s are nested in the line before the last. Some tags may be nested (repeated) strenghtening its effects.
