Step 1: Basic structure

Page with a table

You’ve copied the image comp_anim.gif to your local web folder. Now use HTML to build a page that looks like the one you see above.

Here’s a basic rendering of the table structure:

Use the elements TABLE TR TD and the TD attributes colspan and rowspan

Now use the following elements to add content to cells: IMG H1 H2 P A

In the TABLE tag, add the attribute width="100%" to make the table stretch the full width of the page. (Note that you could also use an absolute measurement in pixels, such as width="800" — but this will force most users to scroll from left to right to see all the content of the page.) It’s usually better to use a percentage to specify tabel width.

N.B. Don’t worry if the page looks a little different in your browser. As long as all the pieces are there, you’re OK.
