HTML Test Suite

James F. Carter, 1998-02-01

The HTML Test Suite provides sample material exercising all the tags in HTML 4.0 and many of the attributes on those tags. It is intended to aid a developer in debugging a User Agent (web browser) which presents documents written in HTML 4.0.

Section numbers on the pages correspond to the sections where the respective tags are described in the HTML 4.0 Specification from the WWW Consortium.

• 7.5.4 Grouping: DIV and SPAN
