  • "Old style HTML" - note the absence of a DOCTYPE declaration at the top of the document.
  • 1a and 1b - the FONT tag surrounds the entire body of the document to assign the Arial font. This won't work in all browsers.
  • 2 - The MARQUEE tag was not only annoying (as you will see), but was not supported in all browsers.
  • 3 - Placing a background image in a table cell is not supported in all early browsers.
  • 4 - The BLINK tag was not only annoying annoying, but was not supported in all browsers.

These tags (DOCTYPE, font, marquee, and blink) may not be familiar to you. That's fine. This important part of this exercise is understanding how different browsers display the same code differently. You don't need to understand the HTML code at this point. Just understand all browsers in this exercise are using the same exact Web page with the same exact HTML code.

You will now view screen shots of this code displayed in several early browers. Note that each screen shot is of a different browser displaying the same exact page.
