HTML Table help

[kj]

ok, the following code should help you understand tables and everything that goes along with them...

<table> //starts the html code for a table
<tr> //starts a new row
<td> //creates a cell in the row
<p>this is table cell 1 in top row
</td> //closes a cell in the row

<td> //creates a cell in the row
<p>this is table cell 2 in top row
</td> //closes a cell in the row
</tr> //end the current table row

<tr> //starts a new row
<td> //creates a cell in the row
<p>this is table cell 1 in second row
</td> //closes a cell in the row

<td> //creates a cell in the row
<p>this is table cell 2 in second row
</td> //closes a cell in the row
</tr> //end the current table row

</table> //end tag for ending the table code

this next section of code allows you to modify the way a table looks.

The following table has a border of 0 thickness. i.e. no border at all, it has a width of 400 pixels and a hieght of 90%. all measurements can be in pixels or percentages. Percentages are more flexible, but for a rigid table, use set pixel sizes. The same rules apply for cell properties as is show bellow. Try copying and pasting the code here and above into a html document and see what happens.

<table border="0" width="400" height="90%">
<tr>
<td width="50%" height="50%"></td>
<td width="50%" height="50%"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="200" height="50%"></td>
<td width="200" height="50%"></td>
</tr>
</table>
