Writing HTML Code for Tables 1

Tables are used for holding data and organizing a page. They allow you to separate a menu from contents of a page. They allow you to color and tile images in select areas of a page.

A table consiists of rows and columns. Each row contains a set of cells. Cells stacked up on one another represent a column.

This is a simple example of how a  table is layed out. IT will look like this:

cell 1 cell2
cell 3 cell4

 

Meaning of tags. Tags
The Table Tag <TABLE> tells the browser to start the table. <TABLE>
The table row tag <TR> tells the browser that a new row is started. <TR>
The table data cell tag <TD> tells the browser that there is a cell. The TD tag is the only place that data can be put in a table. <TD>
The contents of the data cell is placed between the start of the table data cell tag <TD> and the close of it. </TD> cell 1
The browser interprets this as the close of the Table Data Cell </TD>
