VAR

The VAR command is used to declare variables and is most used when describing instances where the browser is expecting user input. For example:

<P> To copy a file in DOS, type <SAMP>COPY <VAR>FILE1 </VAR> <VAR>FILE2</VAR></SAMP> and press the ENTER key. </P>

VAR Attributes:

CLASS=" ... "

This attribute indicates the style 'class' applicable to the tag to which it has been assigned, the style 'class' being a function of a style sheet. For example, assume the style class 'relaxed' includes text with a font size of 8, and the style class 'active' includes text with a font size of 12. Using the CLASS="relaxed" attribute with a tag will cause the text within that tag to be displayed with a font size of 8. Using the CLASS="active" attribute with a tag will cause the text within that tag to be displayed with a font size of 12.

ID="n"

The ID attribute is used to assign a unique ID selector (identification) to the tag in which it is invoked. A style may be assigned to that ID, which will effect only that one instance of the attribute.

STYLE=" ... "

Used to specify which style sheet commands to apply to the instance of the STYLE attribute invoked within the tag.

TITLE=" ... "

The TITLE attribute is used to display a note or information in a popup window pertaining to the object to which it was assigned. The popup window is invoked by holding the mouse pointer over the object.

This tag also accepts the following Event Handlers: onClick onDblClick onDragStart onHelp onMouseDown onMouseUp onMouseOver onMouseMove onMouseOut onKeyPress onKeyDown onKeyUp onSelectStart
