Tables

Tables are the web designer's best friend and thier worst enemy.
While they offer so much for us they can be a pain in the neck.
But I use tables as you can see my homepage is one big table which is very cool.
So if you are going to use my scripting then please link me.


How do I make a basic table ? Here are two examples of basic tables. Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape do not show tables the same way. Even if you have the same code its weird but oh well.



<table border="1"> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> </table>

Cell 1 Cell 2
<table border="1"> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 3</td> <td>Cell 4</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2
Cell 3 Cell 4


How do I add a thick border to my tables ? I like putting a border around my tables cause it gives it a little more spice to it sorta...

<table border="6"> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2


<table border="6"> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 3</td> <td>Cell 4</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2
Cell 3 Cell 4


How do I add colour to my cool tables ? Well to add colour to tables is very fun and cool its my favorite kind of tables...

<table border="6" bordercolor="silver"> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2


<table border="6" bordercolor="silver"> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 3</td> <td>Cell 4</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2
Cell 3 Cell 4


How do I change the background colour to my tables ? Changing the background colour is a good idea because it lets you have more fun with your tables...

<table border="1"> <tr> <td bgcolor="silver">Cell 1</td> <td bgcolor="doderblue">Cell 2</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2
<table border="1"> <tr> <td bgcolor="lime">Cell 1</td> <td bgcolor="gold">Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="silver">Cell 3</td> <td bgcolor="dodgerblue">Cell 4</td> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2
Cell 3 Cell 4




How do I get my borders off my tables ? Well to take of the borders of your table is cool and fun. this is how you do it just change border="1" to border="0" then you will have no borders...

<table border="0"> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2

<table border="0"> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 3</td> <td>Cell 4</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2
Cell 3 Cell 4


And to show you that the border is gone look at the colourfull ones with out borders

<table border="0"> <tr> <td bgcolor="silver">Cell 1</td> <td bgcolor="lime">Cell 2</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2
<table border="0"> <tr> <td bgcolor="silver">Cell 1</td> <td bgcolor="purple">Cell 2</td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="blue">Cell 3</td> <td bgcolor="lime">Cell 4</td> </tr> </table>
Cell 1 Cell 2
Cell 3 Cell 4
