tables galore part 1

In this set of posts, I will walk you threw the basics of creating a table from regular all the way to headers, stiles, and footers. It will all be on this series, so please stay in tune.

This is the html series tables galore, where you will learn how to make beautiful html tables for your website. Starting from rows with data in them all the way to tables with headers, stiles, formatting, and footers. It’s all on this website’s html tables galore series.

part1– building your table with just rows and data

This is the best one to start with. It is the easiest table you will ever create, and so it’s good for starters. I will walk you threw this tut, and to make sure you understand it I will have you send me the exact code to make a table. These forms will below the tut itself.

disclaimer

    1. I will use code spelling. for example “less” instead of “<".
    2. This tutorial will teach you what you should be able to understand but if you don't get something, feel free to use the form at the bottom of the page under the I Don't Get It, Can You Still Help Me? heading.

starting with the opening tag

An opening tag in html tells the editor to create something in html. You use these tags to add the element to the page, not necicerrily create the full thing. There is a little more to that. These tags are usually surrounded by less and greater, and usually have quotes in them.
for the table, you will use:
less table greater
the words in bold will be written as and not less and greater when you send me the form answer.
now, you have opened your table, so we can move to the next section.

borders and why you need them

a table border defines the outside edges of your table. Whether you want them thicker or thinner is up to you. to make a border, just put:
lesstable border=”1″greater
just like the last section, you will need to put rather then greater, as you should know because less and greater are in bold.
Note: you can put higher numbers then 1 on your table border property. I think it can go up to 8 actually.

the data

in this form of table, there is 2 types of tags that will make up your table. 1 is for the row, and 1 is for the data in that row.
here is the opening and closing a row tag:
less trgreater. This makes a table row. TR=Table Row, meaning that tr is an acronim for table row.
this goes the same for Table Data, making that tag lesstdless/td greater
“Huh?” you ask. Yes, I’ve added a tage that had slash in it. When you put slash after the less in a tag like row or data or table, you are telling the editor to close the tag. So, I just opened and closed the table data tag. Between the > of the opening table data tag and the < of the closing one, you can put what you want in that set of data for your table.
here is example:

lesstdgreater this is example table data. less / td greater

Note that TABLE DATA TAGS ALWAYS HAVE TO BE INSIDE A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!! for example:

lesstrgreater
less td greater I am typing a set of table data in that rowless/td greater

note:
you can type however many rows and datas inside your table.
below, is a example table that I create, and the source code (symbols spelled out and not bold because I bet you know they are symbols that you right as they are not spelled out).

row one data one table data 2 row 1
row 2 data 1 row 2 data 2

now, here is the code:
less table greater
less table border =”1″ greater
less tr greater
less td greater table row 1 data 1 less slash td greater
less td greater table row 1 data 2 less slash td greater
less slash td greater
less slash tr greater
less tr greater
less td greater row 2 data 1 less slash td greater
less td greater row 2 data 2 less slash td greater
less slash tr greater
less slash table greater

note how I added the less slash before repeting the name of the tag at the end of my data, always put the tds in the trs, and made the same number of tds in each tr instead of different numbers.

how my day went

Today, I got up and did the normal thing. When I got home at the dorm, the 3 of us were about to go the reck again, and we did for a short time, but then we had to come back to the dorm. So, I played on the computer and hung out with my friends in freetime again, helped cook dinner, then spent the rest of the night hanging out and doing a whole bunch of nothing before posting my journal. That is all I did today.

how my day went

Today, I got up and had the morning routine (also the full school day), before coming back to the dorm and doing our activity (today, we took a long walk to the central market in Austin. We shopped and ate dinner, so didn’t get back to the dorm until 7, after which we all ate our candy, and then me, the smae 2 friends, and the same counciler from the night before spent another hour at the reck, before coming back and having free time and Libby left because she had some goalball torniment. After she left, I posted. That is all I did today.

how my day went

Today, I got up and did the same things as yesterday morning (shower, get ready, then go to school), before coming back to the dorm and going to the weight room with the same 2 friends and counciler because we didn’t want to go swimming and really enjoyed the weight room. After that, we came back and had some dinner, then had freetime. Then, I posted my blog. That is all I did today.

how my day went

Today, I got up and got dressed, and took a shower. Then, I had breakfast and met the other kid that was supposed to come because he came after the rest of us went to bed. He is actually pretty cool. After that, We all headed up to the school, and learned math because that was the program I was there for. After that, we came back to the dorm, had a meeting, then went to some gardens for our afternoon activity. But, those were closed, so instead me, the new councsiler, and 2 of my friends went to the rec center and weight room. After that, we came back to the dorm and had dinner, before having homework hour and freetime until posting the blog. That is all I did today.

how my day went

Today, I got up and went on a 4.39 mile walk with my parents. Then, I came home, finished packing, then did the 4-hour drive to Austin with both my parents and sister because me and my sister were both going for this camp. When we got there, we did the usual–unpacking, health center and registration and all that jibber jabber. Then, I just hung out with my sister and the staff (we got a new fun dorm staff), before me, my sister, and one of the dorm staff went and picked up all but 1 of the rest of the kids from the bus stop. Then, we came back with them, ate dinner, then had free time–I hung out with the people I knew and got to know the 2 people I didn’t. Then, I got on the blog. That is all I did today.

how my day went

Today, I got up and ate breakfast, before going on a 3.6 mile walk with my dad. Then, I came home and played on the computer, ate lunch, then me and my parents went and picked Libby up from her friends (she went after my post), then went to goalball practice and then a birthday party. By the way, I spilt some coffee on my shorts, luckily they were black *few*.
After that, I came home with the rest of my family and played on the computer. Then, I changed rill quick and me, Libby, and our Nanna went to Apple Bee’s for dinner. We didn’t get home until 10, so I just played my computer games before posting the journal. That is all I did today. By the way, I am going to Austin tomorrow. I cannot wait!

how my day went

Today, I got up at a normal time even though my mom had work because my dad was gonna have hand sergery and wasn’t going to work today. So, I went to school, came home, and played on the computer for a while. Then, I relaxed in my bed before eating dinner, hanging out with my sister while she played violin, and then posting my journal. That is all I did today.
