<body>...</body>
Note: This tag is not necessary for World output to Pueblo. WebTracker supports
this element so that normal web pages may be displayed. For World output, the
xch_page element should be used.
The body of a HTML document contains all the text and images that make up the
page, together with all the HTML elements that provide the control & formatting
of the page.
Attributes
BACKGROUND
WebTracker supports the BACKGROUND attribute to the <body> element. The purpose of this attribute is to specify
a URL pointing to an image that is to be used as a background for the document.
In WebTracker, this background image is used to tile the full background of
the document-viewing area.
For example, the following statement creates a document where the entire
document background is tiled with the lt_gray_rock.jpg texture:
<body background=”http://www.chaco.com/textures/lt_gray_rock.jpg”>
The contents of the document go here…
</body>
TEXT
The TEXT attribute is used to specify the text color for the document (i.e., text that
is not colored to indicate a hotlink.) The statement takes the following form:
<body text="#rrggbb">
Where '#rrggbb' is a red-green-blue triplet used to specify the color. Note
that these values are in hexadecimal.
BGCOLOR
The BGCOLOR attribute changes the color of the background for the document. The format
for this attribute is the same as that for TEXT.
LINK
ALINK
PLINK
VLINK
These attributes let you control the coloring of link text. LINK is the color of normal, non-visited links. VLINK stands for ‘visited link’, PLINK stands for ‘pre-fetched link’, and ALINK stands for ‘active link’. The format for these attributes is the same as
that for TEXT.
Extended Web Tracker Attributes
ALIGN
The ALIGN attribute may only be assigned the value middle. If <body align=middle> is included in a document, then the document is vertically centered between
the top and bottom of the page. If the document is larger than the page, then
the document is aligned normally (i.e., top-aligned.)
FGCOLOR
The FGCOLOR attribute is another (and more consistent) name for the TEXT attribute.
PLINK
This attribute lets you control the coloring of pre-fetched link text. The
format for this attribute is the same as that for TEXT.
Examples
HTML documents have the following format:
<html>
<head>
<title>Coyote’s Den</title>
