To set the values of a particular table cell:
Use your Tab key to move your cursor to another cell and repeat the process. Continue to set the values of the individual cells. When you have finished, click on OK. Your table and its contents will appear in your document. Save your file and view it in your browsers. Remember that Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer tend to interpret table and table cell tags differently, so be sure you are satisfied with the look of your table as it appears in both browsers. |
||
| If you want to adjust the attributes of any particular table cell after you have created the entire table, use the Tag List to add a new tag and attribute to a particular table cell. | Note: See Start: Tour HomeSite 1.2 for a review of the ways to insert tags and attributes into your document. | |
| Use the ALIGN attribute to adjust the horizontal orientation of cell data. | ||
| <TD
ALIGN="[direction]">Cell data</TD> where [direction] is left, right, or center |
||
| Use the VALIGN attribute to adjust the vertical orientation of cell data. | ||
| <TD
VALIGN="[direction]">Cell data</TD> where [direction] is top, bottom, or middle |
||
| Use the COLOR attribute with your choice of background color to change the color of an individual cell. | ||
| <TD
COLOR="[rrggbb]">Cell data</TD> where [rrggbb] is the hexadecimal equivalent of the red, green, blue palette |
