HTML Tables


In our last tutorial we discussed how to create different types of frames and position them on the page. We also covered the various types of lists we can create. And I even let you in on a little recipe in my plot to make you fatter than me. In this tutorial we will go over tables (you will need a place to put that dinner I told you how to make after all) and how to insert them into your web pages.

HTML Tables - Aligning Data within Your Cells
(Page 7 of 7 )

Aligning the data within your cells makes it easier to read and gives it a nicer appearance. There are three ways to set your alignment: Left, Right, and Centered:


<html>

<body>

<table width="400" border="1">

<tr>

<th align="center">This is centered</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td align="left">This is left aligned</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td align="right">This is right aligned</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

The result:



This is centered

This is left aligned

This is right aligned

Note that you can also use the height and width attributes to adjust your table as well.

While there is still plenty to learn regarding tables, we are finished with them for the moment. We'll cover the tables again and in more depth in a future tutorial. In our next episode we will discuss forms, so check back often.
