About Indenting Code in These Examples, Line Continuation Characters
Normally programmers indent code to different levels to show If statements, loops, etc. Programming IDEs do it automatically for you. Unfortunately, HTML doesn't do this and browsers collapse white spaces. Also, there is a limited amount of line space in the columns of these pages. For these reasons the code on these pages in not indented.
Also as different browsers will break lines at different places, there are no line continuation characters that mark that the following line is a continuation of the current one. If you are uncertain where the line breaks should be, just copy the code example into your IDE and the whole lines of code should appear on the same line
