biggrin.gif [b] I took from Philosophy what I could understand and morphed it into what I could communicate to others. I want to do the same with HTML (TAGS). Using one word, one title, picture, slide, video or webpage. I understand HTTP://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/html_tag. But the (tags) excite me more than using the whole www line. Like a hover note webpage message definition and such. I had a idea when e-mailing friends or whomever one could enter a (TAG) instead of a www line except for the www link itself. I feel this is a new and excited way to teach anyone who understand the basics of writing and reading a new way.

I am excited about using a tag over the www line like Philosophy=http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML_tag
I personally feel I will never use all the language but would love to develop my own personal style or shortcut to use a a teaching tool. If I sixty years ago had this language I would be a better writer and communicator today. Thoughts please. pljamesone@att.net

I wonder if you really understand the HTML markup language and its tags. Writing a web page is something completely different than writing as a writer. They are two distinct professions. Of course, you can write about whatever subject you like as a writer and turn that into a web page (or HTML email). But for that, you'll need to learn the HTML language.

From your PM to me, I understand that you are looking for a tag that can be hovered to reveal something else. This can only be done by using HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheet). And even then, you can't reveal an entire web page or video, just a preview image of it.

But I think that goes much further than what you are really looking for, so I won't explain how to code a hover tag for now.
I must say I had to read your post here and your PM several times, and still, I'm not sure I understand.
