| This is the Forth newsletter of the First Volume. We said
we want to develop a thread aimed at helping people get started in anything/something
as a home business. There will be an emphasis in writing and there is
a good reason for this. The sooner you start the better off you will be. On our agenda; 1) Develop departments 2) Bring you to the Steps Page 3) Set a template to start each weeks newsletter. 4) Continue to show and teach the HTML code.
Using the <div align="center"><font face="Times New Roman"></font></div>
I put things back in the center and showcase the Times New Roman font Times New Roman Looks just like the default font doesn't it. So we will close the font. The HTML code of the day is the table tag or<table></table>. Here is some code that sets up a table. <table width="75%" border="2"> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> </table> This is what it should look like. The td of the <td> tag stands for table data and whatever is wrapped by the<td>portray this</td> is what will be portrayed in the table cell. The characters ( ) are a place keeper for the a space characters and is needed when a cell needs to be blank as a single space character is overlooked when it is the only character in the cell. Let's place letter characters in the cells so we can better see what all this does. Here's why, the value of the attribute (border) defaults at "2" and this is the case for two other attributes if they are not included. They are cellspacing and cellpadding
This table is produce with this code. <table width="75%" border="2"> <tr> <td>AAAAAA</td> <td>BBBBBB</td> <td>CCCCCC</td> </tr> <tr> <td>EEEEEE</td> <td>FFFFFF</td> <td>GGGGGG</td> </tr> </table> Here is the table tag with attributes for cellspacing and cellpadding included. <Table width="75%" border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
Change the cellspacing from 2 to 10 and see what happens. <Table width="75%" border="2" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="2">
Let's put cellspacing back to 2 and this time change cellpadding. <Table width="75%" border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="10">
This time set both to 10. <Table width="75%" border="2" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10">
Now while we are at this let's change the border value as well. <Table width="75%" border="10" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10">
We will go back to the 2 values, now what if you need a new cell. <Table width="75%" border="2" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> First Row <tr> <td>AAAAAA</td> <td>BBBBBB</td> <td>CCCCCC</td> <td>DDDDDD</td> </tr>
We can make the "G" cell take up two spots with an (colspan) attribute in "G" cell's <td> tag. <td colspan="2">GGGGGG</td>
We can instead make the "D" cell take up two spots vertically with an (rowspan) attribute in "D" cell's <td> tag. <td rowspan="2">DDDDDD</td>
Now one last way which brings us home and that is to FILL the missing cell with an empty cell by means of the place keeper. <Td> </td>
There it is, that is the basics of the table tag. 1) My favorite Bookmarks dept. 2) Start my home biz now dept. 3) HTML special dept. This has to be it for now we are getting long in the tooth here. We set the link to the Validator so that it will be there on the archived page. That is where we will use it. Don't forget the spellchecker. Then archive to a web page. Archived newsletter <https://metaphorman.tripod.com/vol1/vIno4.html> We use the Validator on the achived page and make any changes the Validator recomends.
