For convenience, we've marked each of these tags with an asterisk (*) in the following table, and list all of the attributes supported by these special tags, including the common ones. For all other tags (those without an asterisk), assume the common attributes listed above apply. Do note, however, that the popular browsers do not support all the HTML standard 4.0 attributes, common or not. Please refer to the main text for details.

B.2 HTML Quick Reference

As with the other sections of this book, we use the Netscape and Internet Explorer icons to the far right of each item to indicate tags and attributes that are extensions to the HTML 4.0 standard. If no icon is shown, the tag or attribute is part of the HTML 4.0 standard.

We include each tag's possible attributes (some required) indented below their respective tags. In the description, we give possible attribute values as either a range of integer numbers or a definitive list of options, where possible.
