As a Web designer, you use some bits of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
code frequently but not often enough to commit to memory. The
following HTML code, CSS style, and JavaScript hints are handy
when you are adding special elements such as null links, meta
tags, and entities to your pages. Use these HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript code hints in Code view, the Properties inspector, and
your CSS style sheets.
