assignment: tables
Tables have two main purposes in webpages. The first is for displaying data. The second is for page layout. Make a page and save it as tables.html.
1. Once you've created your table, you can change it in the properties window. To get the table properties window, move the cursor near the edge of the table until you get the hand cursor, and click. You should see this in the properties window:
For the rest of the assignment, make a new page, called table.html, in your site.
2. Experiment with the Width selection. When would you use a fixed size table (pixels) and when would you use a relative size table (%)? Give an example of each.
3. Make a table and set the Border to 0. Put stuff in the cells and look at the page in a browser. What happens? Explain in the table.
4. Use the Modify->Table-> Commands to reproduce the table below. You can resize cells by putting the cursor over the borders and sliding it.
5. What do Cellspace and Cellpad do? Play with them - maybe put some big numbers in to test them.
6. Make sure your assignments page has a link to every page you've done in this class.
7. Tables are often used for layout on pages - use tables in your images project!
