1.Basics Review
Bare bones code for a table with one row and two columns looks something like this:
<table border=1>
<tr>
<td>Column 1</td>
<td>Column 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
Note 1: The border attribute isn't required, but is handy to have for layout, so you can see what you're working with.
Note 2: Editors such as FrontPage or PageMill never write this basic code. Instead they make some decisions about what you probably want, and add some attributes.
Now, below is how a browser interprets the basic code above:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
Like most HTML codes, table codes can have a number of attributes, which are just additional qualities that come after the opening code:
<table attribute1 attribute2>
<table border=12 width="50%">
<tr bgcolor="white">
These lessons will look at the different attributes and how understanding
and manipulating them can help your designs.
