I have some questions about HTML codes, and hope that somebody could kindly help.

1) I want to display some words on the top, bottom and centre (vertically) respectively on a web page, what html codes should I use?

2) I want to add an email address link on the page, does this work?
<a href=mailto:someone@some.where> my mail address </a>

3) How to change the colour of the above mail address link on the page from blue to another?

All answers are very welcome

1) Quick and dirty way with inline styles:

<html>
<body>
Top
Middle
Bottom
<body>
</html>

Last value is less than 100% as you have to take in account for the tool / status bars etc. You can also do this with tables, however you have to becareful as not all browsers support table heights.

2) <a href="mailto:someone@some.where">someone@some.where</a>

3) <a href="mailto:someone@some.where" style="color: Red">someone@some.where</a>

Changes it to Red. You can use #FF0000 (R-FF G-00 B-00). All 0's are Black, all F's are White.

Alternatively you can apply a class from a style block or sheet. The one above is an inline style.

Thank you Zamiel, those work.

In the code:
Bottom

instead of reserving a small percentage for the bottom margin, can I use 'bottom: 0%' to replace 'top: 97%'? That is to say:
Bottom

You may find "Bottom" has a few issues in some browsers but if you're doing it for something like IE then all will be fine.

Oh I see. How about 'left' and 'right'? Do they create problems?

I tend to use Top and Left mainly as Right and Bottom were both supported later in the browser lifecycle.

That is Top and Left are supposedly supported in IE4+, FF1+, NS4+ whereas Right and bottom are from IE5+, FF1+, NS6+.
