                          <HTML>
                          <HEAD>
                          <TITLE>
                          ........................

                          </TITLE>
                          </HEAD>
                          <BODY>
                          ........................
                          ........................

                          </BODY>
                          Footer
                          </HTML>

                              ‘Title’ tag inside it. The ‘Head’ tag is written inside the <HTML> section.
                            Title section displays the title of the web page on the Title bar.
                            The Body section (pair of <BODY> ... </BODY> tags) specifies the main contents of a document.

                             The bottom part of the body of an HTML document is footer. These are generally appended at the end
                              of the body of a web page. It is not mandatory to apply Footer in the HTML document.

                      3.   Explain all the link related attributes used with the <body> tag, using a suitable example.
                      Ans.  In <BODY> tag the following link attributes can be used: LINK, ALINK and VLINK.
                          LINK which has not yet been visited.
                          ALINK or Active Link which is in current use in a web page.

                          VLINK or Visited Link which was visited last.
                          Example: <BODY BGCOLOR = “Aqua” TEXT = “Red” LINK = “Yellow” VLINK = “Maroon” ALINK = “Green” >
