# Create/Edit URL Portlet: Filter Data

| Field Descriptions | Related Help Topics | Additional Information |

Use this page to optionally filter the content that will display in the URL portlet. This enables you to display only part of the content pointed to by the URL you specified in the previous step of this wizard.

To filter the content, enter a starting tag and ending HTML tag. Only content between the first instance of the start tag and end tag will be displayed in the portlet.

For example, if the URL for your portlet points to http://www.oracle.com, you may not want to display all of the content at that location in your portlet. Assume instead you want to display only a list of links under Products.

The HTML to display this list is

<table border=0 cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 width=192 bgcolor="#FFFFFF" summary="">
<tr>
<td valign=top><font face="Arial, Helvetica, San-Serif" size="2"><a href="/ip/deploy/database/oracle9i/">Database</a><br>
<a href="/ip/deploy/ias/">Application Server</a><br>
<a href="/ip/develop/ids/">Development Tools</a><br>
<a href="/ip/deploy/cs/">Collaboration Suite</a><br>
<a href="/applications/">E-Business Suite</a>
<br><a href="/online_services/smallbusiness/">Oracle Small Business Suite</a><br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, San-Serif" size=-2>Powered by NetLedger</font><br>
<a href="/online_services/">Outsourcing</a></font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

To display only the contents of the table, you could enter

<table border=0 cellpadding=8 cellspacing=0 width=192 bgcolor="#FFFFFF" summary="">

as the Start tag for filtering, and

</table>

as the End tag for filtering.
