Netscape HTML Extensions Test Page

The extensions described in this document were introduced by Netscape. Some of them are now supported by other browsers, although at our last check none of them had made it in to the official HTML specification.

Now let's sail our little boat on the left and right of this paragraph. This is an example of floating images, where text will just go next to the image rather than leaving space around it. New attributes have been added to the BR tag to allow you to cause the lines to be displayed under the image. You can also use the Netscape VSPACE and HSPACE attributes with IMG to leave extra vertical or horizontal space around an image.

Now we will place our little sailboat on the left, and give it a thick border (BORDER=6)

Here is the silly blink extension.

Now you see me...

Now you don't...

NOBR and WBR

NOBR sets a section of text to have no line breaks. Unlike PRE, it is not neccessarily displayed in a fixed-width font. Be careful when you use this tag as you can easily create lines that are too long to be seen without horizontally scrolling the window. The following line is a long sentence in a NOBR tag.

Here is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, long sentence.

You can use the WBR tag within a NOBR section of text to indicate where linebreaks may be made. If you do not include any WBR tags, the section of text will be treated as a single long line. The following line is the same as our previous example, but includes a WBR tag.

Here is a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, long sentence.
