What Forms can Help you do

The HTML 1.0 specification limited table and list design to the PRE HTML markup code. The more recent versions of most browsers support tables. If you use tables, test them using a table non-capable browser like Netscape 1.0 or lynx.

One of the EASIEST ways to create tables is to use MS-Excel or MS-Word. The latest versions of Word and Excel incorporate exporting HTML. Earlier versions of Word and Excel can be updated to incorporate Microsoft's Internet Assistant.

Sample Code

<TABLE BORDER=1>

<TR>

<TD VALIGN=CENTER>First Cell, First Row</TD>

<TD VALIGN=CENTER>Second Cell, First Row</TD>

<TD VALIGN=CENTER>Third Cell, First Row</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD VALIGN=CENTER>First Cell, Second Row</TD>

<TD VALIGN=CENTER>Second Cell, Second Row</TD>

<TD VALIGN=CENTER>Third Cell, Second Row</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>


This is the resulting Table from the code shown above:

First Cell, First Row	Second Cell, First Row	Third Cell, First Row
First Cell, Second Row	Second Cell, Second Row	Third Cell, Second Row
