<iframe> floating frame 
Microsoft Internet Explorer 3 upwards only. 'Floating' frames are basically windows containing a web pages. They are specified in a similar way to images.
This attribute is always required and is used to state the URL ie. address of the HTML file to be displayed in the frame.
As with images, the height and/or width of the floating frame should be specified in pixels or as a percentage or the browser window width.
As with images, this specifies a horizontal space on either side of the frame, in pixels.
As with images, this specifies a vertical space at the top and bottom of the frame, in pixels.
As with images, you can align your frame to the left or right margins to allow text and graphics to wrap alongside. Use the <BR> tag to prevent the wrapping.
Normally the floating frame is displayed with a 3D 'recessed' effect. You can have a more seamless look by set the frameborder to zero.

<BR CLEAR="all">
<ilayer> inline layer
Netscape Navigator 4 only. Defines a separate area of the page as an inline layer that can hold a different page. I have not addressed Netscape layers in Jalfrezi due to their limited support and the introduction of style sheets as a standard
. For more information on layers, see the relevant sections in NetscapeWorld and Netscape's Developer Library.
<img> image
Used to display an image (graphic) or video clip.
This attribute is always required and is used to state the source, ie. URL of the image.
Netscape Navigator 2 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4 upwards only. This attribute instructs the browser to display an initial image, load the rest of the document, and then display the main image as specified by the SRC attribute. The most useful application of this attribute is to provide initially a low resolution, ie. quick download, version of the main picture. The main picture then fades in over its low resolution image. Any HEIGHT or WIDTH attributes specified will be applied to both images. If no HEIGHT or WIDTH attributes are supplied then the second image, as specified by the SRC attribute, will be scaled to the same dimension as the initial LOWSRC image.
A few years back Netscape massively extended this attribute. The left and right are probably the most useful and create a new floating type graphic which finds the next available margin to allow text to wrap. The rest of the align options are an attempt to get graphics to do exactly what you want them to. Top aligns with the top of the tallest item in the line. Texttop aligns with the top of the tallest text in the line (not always the same as top). Middle aligns the middle of the image with the baseline of the current line. Absmiddle aligns the middle of the image with the middle of the current line. Baseline aligns the bottom of the image with the baseline of the current line. Bottom does exactly the same as baseline. Absbottom aligns the bottom of the image with the bottom of the current line.
You must use align if you wish to wrap text around the graphic, otherwise the image will behave as a character. Note: to place an image in the centre of the screen you must use <CENTER>, however text will not wrap around the graphic in this case.
This is used to add an alternative text for non-graphical browsers, or to be displayed by browsers with graphic loading turned off. This attribute is now considered required by the W3C web standards consortium and you're well advised to include it for all images. See also Use of ALT texts in IMGs to see how and how not to do it. MS Internet Explorer 3 and Netscape Navigator 4 upwards also use ALT text as a tool tip to be displayed when the users mouse pauses over the image.
When the image is included in a hypertext link, the default border which indicates a link can be resized in terms of pixels. Set BORDER=0 to turn off the border.
The height and/or width of a graphic can be specified in pixels. Netscape Navigator and MS Internet Explorer 3 upwards are the only browsers that will scale the whole image if only one of either the WIDTH or HEIGHT attributes are specified, maintaining the aspect ratio. Not all browsers support this attribute. It is very good idea to specify the width and height for every image you use, as browsers can then display text before the images have loaded, giving the effect of quicker downloads.
Specifies a horizontal space in pixels, to the left and right of the image. Prevents text wrapping right up to the edge of the image.
Specifies a vertical space in pixels, to the top and bottom of the image. Prevents text wrapping right up to the edge of the image.

Amorphous body
MS Internet Explorer 3 upwards only. This attribute allows you to include video or VRML in your document. The video clips must be Audio Video Interleave (.AVI) format. The afore mentioned attributes including ALIGN, WIDTH and HEIGHT will still be applied to video. If the SRC attribute is also used then browsers not supporting DYNSRC can display a still image instead of video. The START, CONTROLS, LOOP and LOOPDELAY attributes can be used with DYNSRC to determine how the video plays and are described below.
A more universal method of displaying video is to use a plug-in such as Progressive Networks' RealPlayer . Netscape have prepared a list of video plug-ins .
MS Internet Explorer 3 upwards only, used with DYNSRC. Specifies when the video starts playing. If set to fileopen, the video starts playing as soon as it loaded. If set to mouseover, the video starts playing as soon as the mouse cursor is moved over it. Both values can be specified at the same time.
MS Internet Explorer 3 upwards only, used with DYNSRC. Specifies how many times the video will play when activated. If n=-1, or if LOOP=infinite, it will play indefinitely.
MS Internet Explorer 3 upwards only, used with DYNSRC. Specifies the delay between play loops in milliseconds.
MS Internet Explorer 3 upwards only, used with DYNSRC. If this attribute is present then a play/pause/skip control panel is displayed under the video window.
<IMG DYNSRC="video/arrow.avi" SRC="graphics/arrow.jpg" START="mouseover" LOOP=2 LOOPDELAY=500 CONTROLS>
Sets the graphic as a server-side image map. For more information, see the detailed section on Image maps.
Sets the graphic as a client-side image map. The USEMAP attribute contains the location of the map file and uses the same syntax as the HREF attribute of the <A> element. The map definition can be contained within the HTML document, in which case a # is used to indicate a local file. If the map was contained separately in a graphics directory, the USEMAP attribute could read USEMAP="graphics/picture.map". For more information, see the detailed section on Image maps.
<input> form input box
Used to place dialog items on a form. For more information, see the detailed section on Forms.
<isindex>
This tag has now been superceded by forms and cgi programs. It used to be used to allow a document to be primitively searched. The server hosting the document would have to a program capable of searching the document for it to work. Should be placed in the HEAD of the web page.
<kbd> keyboard
A logical style for indicating text typed by a user. Usually rendered with a monospaced font.
Type your <KBD>login</KBD> and <KBD>password</KBD> to continue.Type your login and password to continue.
