I want you to open up
Notepad (Yes Notepad!) and follow me. Copy and paste off this
page the following to get you started:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>KNR Friends</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Save it as table1.html in some folder somewhere.
(Windows 3.x users save it as table1.htm) Go ahead
and give it its own folder because we will be putting other
things in there too. Start up your browser. Use it to open table1.html
and run Notepad and the browser side by side. This way you can
create your pages and almost instantly see the results of
your work.
Type in your table tags. These simply
mean "starting a table" and "ending a
table".
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>KNR Friends</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Every table needs at least one row.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>KNR Friends</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
And of course every row has to have at least
one table data cell.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>KNR Friends</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Now, just to keep things a little cleaner I am going to start
writing only what is in the table tags. I will leave out the
head, body, title, etc. tags from now on. But your document
should have them.
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Now you need something to put in that cell. How about Geetham?
let's put Geetham in the <TD> cell.
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>Geetham</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
Well now, you are the proud owner of a fully functional html
table! Open it with the browser and check it out!
As you can see I am easily amused. This is
what you have created:
Take a deep breath, pat yourself on the back and be proud. You
made your first table!
