Inline CSS Style example (rats, it got eaten by some code somewhere)
An element can be given its own style by using the style syntax, eg:
textarea elements do NOT support "maxLength" - you have to deal with this server side. odd that it doesn't. Actually, IMHO, the syntax for textarea is inconsistent in many respects.
The "name" attribute of an anchor tag is deprecated (long ago) - you should be able to still use the hash (#) to refer to any ID item - at least in theory - I believe the base tag breaks this - http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#h-12.2.3
Button tag is better than input type = button - you can specify a different value from label

cell spacing in CSS: table { border-spacing: 10px; border-collapse: separate; }
