LESSON 8

CREATING TABLES


HTML tables are made up of three pairs of tags:

The table tags
The table row tags
The table data tags (You place your content within these tags.)


Table tags look like this: <table></table>
Table row tags look like this: <tr></tr>
Table data tags look like this: <td></td>


1) Our page is getting cluttered, so we're going to start from scratch. Type the following into Notepad:

Code: Select all
<html>

<head>

<title>SocietasViaRomana</title>

</head>

<body>

<table border="1">

<tr>

<td>
Here is some table data.
</td>

<td>
We have given the table a border of "1" so that you can see it.
</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>



2) Save this page and view it according to the instructions in Step 6 of LESSON 1.


Let's explain this:

The table tags create the table.
The table row tags create a table row.
The table data tags are within the table row tags.
The table data tags are the place where you type your content.
