Very easy! In this example, the parameter to the function h2 is used as the content of the tag In this example, the parameter to the function h2 is used as the content of the tag AW lecture notes

July 23, 2004 6 Programming for WWW (Lecture#9) In-Young Ko, Information Communications University CGI.pm Module (cont.) Tags can have both content and attributes Tags can have both content and attributes Each attribute is passed as a name/value pair Each attribute is passed as a name/value pair Attribute names are passed with a preceding dash Attribute names are passed with a preceding dash e.g., textarea(-name => "Description", -rows => "2", -cols => "35"); Produces: Produces: Tags and their attributes are distributed over the parameters of the function Tags and their attributes are distributed over the parameters of the function e.g., ol(li({-type => "square"}, ["milk", "bread", "cheese"])); Output: milk Output: milk bread bread cheese cheese AW lecture notes
