Sample of Table Capabilities

So you want to learn more about tables?? And not the type that you sit and have your meals at either!! Right, so what can you do with tables?? Well, you can make your page look pretty by arranging text in boxes like this:

(Please note that the block assignments are for demonstration purposes only - check the Block Assignment page for the real assignments)

Now this looks quite boring, but with very little effort you can make it look like this:

The code for this table is this:

<div align="center"><center>
<table border="7" cellpadding="4">
<tr>
<td align="center">Neighbourhood</td>
<td align="center">Your CL</td>
<td align="center">Block</td>
<td align="center">Email Addy</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td rowspan="4">Rainforest</td>
<td>earthwave</td>
<td>1000-1530</td>
<td>earthwave@oocities.com</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>jungle_j</td>
<td>1531-2060</td>
<td>cowboyj@swbell.net</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>trac</td>
<td>2061-2590</td>
<td>trac@oocities.com</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>mysticbreeze</td>
<td>3121-3650</td>
<td>mysticbreeze@hotmail.com</td>
</tr>

</table>
</center></div>

You can also make a table look very nice for people using MS Internet Explorer by specifying a different background image in the table itself - but beware: At this stage this will only be viewable with MSIE!!!

 

Neighbourhood	Your CL	Block	Email Addy
Rainforest	earthwave	1000-1530	earthwave@oocities.com
	jungle_j	1531-2060	cowboyj@swbell.net
	trac	2061-2590	trac@oocities.com
	mysticbreeze	3121-3650	mysticbreeze@hotmail.com

By using a border on your table you can put "frames" around pictures to give them an interesting look:

Without a borber:

With a border:

The code to do this simple little table with a border and an image is:

<div align="center"><center>
<table border="6">
<tr>
<td><img src="http://www.oocities.org/rainforest/9900/homegeonp.gif"
width="174" height="68"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</center></div>
