the
<body>
and
</body>
tags in your HTML documents, too, to make them
more easily readable and maintainable.
The various attributes for the
<body>
tag can be loosely grouped into
three sets: those that give you some control over the document's ap-
pearance, those that associate programmable functions with the docu-
ment itself, and those that label and identify the body for later refer-
ence. We address the appearance attributes (
alink
,
background
,
bgcolor
,
stylesheets and the programmatic attributes (the "on-event" ones) in
3.8.2. Frames
The HTML and XHTML standards define a special type of document in
which you replace the
<body>
tag with one or more
<frameset>
tags. This
so-called
frame
document divides the display window into one or more
independent windows, each displaying a different document. We thor-
oughly describe this innovation in
Chapter 11
.
