</a>- this is the piece of code that closes a link
Example:
CODE
<a href="http://www.linkurlhere.com">Link Name</a>
- this is what you use to insert a space (like if you need to insert more than one space in something...or if you have a table cell and need it to have something in it so it can be read properly by the browser but you don't want anything to actually appear in it...lots of other uses of course but that's one of 'em.)
<tr>,</tr>,<td>,</td>-these are all parts of a table
Here's an example of a very basic table.
CODE
<table border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
</table>
Individual code uses of each part is as follows:
<table> begins and ends the table, as you can see.
<tr> begins and ends every new Table Row (which is incidently what tr stands for...lol.
Look again at the table above; there are two rows in the table, thus there are two sets of <tr> tags.
<td> begins every cell, and stands for Table Data.
In this particular example there are four cells, and four sets of <td> tags.
That's the best way I can really explain it...hope it helps and I'm glad the thumbnail code worked out for ya...you should link me to your page so I can check out what you're workin so hard on
