The ADDRESS element provides contact information for a document or part of a document. Information provided by ADDRESS may include the names of the document's maintainers, links to the maintainers' Web pages, e-mail addresses for feedback, postal addresses, phone numbers, and so on. The ADDRESS element is not appropriate for all postal and e-mail addresses; it should be reserved for providing such information about the contact people for the document.

The following example, most appropriate at the end of a document, gives contact information about the maintainer:

<ADDRESS>Maintained by <A href="http://www.eluk.co.uk/cv">Simon Thomson</A><br>
<A HREF="mailto:simon@eluk.co.uk">simon@eluk.co.uk</A></ADDRESS>

Maintained by Simon Thomson
simon@eluk.co.uk

ADDRESS can also be used to provide contact information for a portion of a document, typically a form. The next example gives users contact information to use in conjunction with an order form:

<FORM METHOD=post ACTION="/cgi-bin/order.cgi">
<FIELDSET>
<LEGEND ACCESSKEY=C>Credit Card Information<BR></LEGEND>

<LABEL ACCESSKEY=V>
