2. Begin by creating the <HTML> tags for the start and end of the HTML page:

<HTML>

</HTML>

3. You could add a <HEAD> tag, allowing inclusion of a title into the browser. Begin by creating the

<HTML> tags for the start and end of the HTML page:

<HTML>

<HEAD><TITLE>Regions and Countries</TITLE></HEAD>

</HTML>

4. Add the body section for the HTML page by enclosing it between the <BODY> tags:

<HTML>

<HEAD><TITLE>Regions and Countries</TITLE></HEAD>

<BODY>

</BODY>

</HTML>

5. Now add the <XML> tag into the body of the HTML page, which references the externally stored

XML document:

<HTML>

<HEAD><TITLE>Regions and Countries</TITLE></HEAD>

<BODY>

</BODY>

</HTML>

6. Add a table field (<TABLE> tag) to the HTML page. The table field references the <XML> tag,

by the

ID attribute, as shown in the code that follows. The SRC in the <XML> tag allows direct

access from the HTML page to XML tags as stored in the countries.xml file. In other words, the

countries.xml file is referenced from the HTML page as a referenced data island:

<HTML>

<HEAD><TITLE>Regions and Countries</TITLE></HEAD>

<BODY>

<TR>

</TR>

</TABLE>

</BODY>

</HTML>

7. The result will look as shown in Figure 1-6, when executed in a browser.
