FIGURE 5.2

TLA Consulting has a standard look and feel for all its Web pages.

Directly reusing the sections of HTML that are common to all pages is a much better approach

than cutting and pasting on tens, hundreds, or even thousands of pages. The source code for the

homepage (home.html) shown in Figure 5.2 is given in Listing 5.1.
