HTML tags

[Raechael]

I am new to HTML and I was wondering if there was a list online of all the HTML tags and what they do that is printer freindly, so I have a reference when I am writing a page.  I am kind of learning in reverse.  I am taking java in college and I can write good applets to put on HTML pages but I haven't actually learned HTML.  I just know the very basics.  I know this is going to sound real dumb but I get really confused with placing the applets on a web-page.  They never quite end up where I want them and I end up adjusting them a bunch of times until they are finally right.  Does anyone know of a map or a particular formula that makes placement a little easier or do I have to play with it.  One last thing.  If anyone has pointers on hexadecimal color coding(I always seem to be off on what color I am looking for) that would make finding the right color easier please let me know.  Thanks

The Barebones Guide to HTML is something I often use for quick reference.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's one of my favorites, as well as others'.<br><br><A HREF="

Here is a great HTML tutorial. There is a lesson on colors that includes a giant hex/named color chart - it's cool.<br><A HREF="

site itself is pretty cool (as opposed to just the dictionary) and contains pages on Java as well.<br><A HREF="

If you're using your own PC, I suggest you download <b>1st Page 2000</b> from <A HREF="

http://www.tucows.com"

http://www.tucows.com</A>

or from the authors, <A HREF="

http://www.evrsoft.com"

Page 2000 is an excellent text-based HTML editor with lots of helpful facilities including a colour picker, HTML tag picker and the 2nd-best HTML reference I've seen&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;and it's <b>FREE</b>!<br><br>The best HTML reference I've found (perhaps too comprehensive for your needs at present) is the one distributed with ColdFusion&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;you can download it as part of the ColdFusion 4.5 documentation from <A HREF="

I suggest you get a book.&nbsp;&nbsp;I chose Elizabeth Castro's &quot;Visual Quickstart Guide:&nbsp;&nbsp;HTML 4&quot; (Peachpit Press, 2000; ISBN 0-201-35493-4) because it has a better quick HTML reference in an appendix than most books twice the price, and a colour chart on the inside back page.
