What's the difference between the main body (<BODY>) of a document, and the "body tag"?

Well, if I understand your question correctly the difference is that the <Body> tag is actual HTML while something like:

<STYLE type="text/css">
<!--
BODY {
scrollbar-base-color:silver
;
}
-->
</STYLE>

is a Javascript tag that is changing the body of the html site dynamically....if you follow my flow...(by the way...the above code is for changing the color of scrollbars...) Hope this helps...

More specifically, I see Javascript instructions that say "put [this] in the body, put [this] in the body tag".

ok...now I see what you maen...if something tells you to put something in the body tag then your probably making something like: <Body onload="whatever"> or if you hear that your supposed to put it into the body of your website then it's just actual content...something like:

<Body>
This is the content!
</Body>

Hope this helps....
