Lecture/Discuss Tables
Learning Objectives Understand how to create a table Apply Border, width, background
cellpadding, cellspacing, rowspan and colspan to a table
Create Vertical and Horizontal sections within a table
Understand how to write tables that display quickly in the browser

Tables Before CSS, most webpage layout was done with tables Easy to create “liquid” designs with tables using
percentages for table parameters Tables have two basic structural elements
Rows Columns
Intersection of rows and columns create “cells” that can hold content
R1C1 R2C2
R2C1 R2C2
R1C1
R4C6
Mapping out your page Design on a piece of Paper (graph paper) Figure out how Rows and Columns you
will need You can put a table within a table
(nesting) Figure out dimensions
600 pixels wide is standard for a web page Create the ‘Skeleton’ of your page with
just xHTML tags @nbsp; Add to content to the cell
Creating a simple table1. Type <table> to start the table2. Add a row <tr>3. Add <td>”content”</td> to add a cell
to the current row1. Content can be any xHTML element
including another table4. Add more cells <td></td>5. Complete the row </tr>6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 to add more
rows7. Finish the table </table>
Table Example<table width="100%"> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr></table>
Adding A border Two ways to add a border
xHTML <table border=“n”> N is size in pixels Applies to table and each cell
CSS (overrides xHTML) table{border-style:solid} table{border: solid red 2px} Applies to table and not cells To do cells you have to create style rule for <td>
element td{border-style:solid}
Setting the Width By default, a browser determines the width of the cells
by the content’s width, up to the width of the browser It better to set the width yourself (two ways)
xHTML <table width=“120” or “80%”> <td width=“20” or “10%”>
CSS table{width:80%} td{width:10%}
Using percentages allows the table to adjust to browser (or parent) changes in width (liquid layout)
The width of the widest cell in a column determines the width of the column
Centering a Table on the Page Again there are two ways
CSS Table{width:400px;margin-
right:auto;margin-left:auto} xHTML
<table align=“center”> <center><table>….</table></center>
Wrapping Text around a Table
xHTML Deprecated <table align=“left” or “right”> Text that appears after </table> will
flow to opposite side (put text in <p></p>)
CSS table{width:200px; float:right (or left)}
Combining Tables Create the inner table and/or contents of cells
first Create the outer table and put a “placeholder”
wherever you want the inner table to be Test both tables Replace the place holder with the code for the
inner table by cut and paste The more complicated your table nesting, the
harder it will be for the browser to figure out “what goes where”…slowing down the page load
Easier to create multiple tables on top of each other
Aligning a Cell’s Contents Two directions Vertical and Horizontal Default is left align in middle of cell xHTML
<table or tr or td align=“H-direction” valign=“V-direction”>
H-direction can be left, right or center V-direction can be top, middle, bottom or baseline
CSS selector{text-align:hvalue;veritical-align:postion}
Selector can table, tr, td hvalue can be left, right, center or justify position can be top, middle, bottom or baseline
Changing the background
xHTML <table or tr or td bgcolor=“color”> <table or tr or td
background=“image.url”> CSS
Selector{background: values} Same as discussed in chapter 11
Controlling spacing Two xHTML attributes for cell spacing
Cell Padding is inside the cell and keeps the contents away from the edge of the cell
Cell spacing is outside the cells and keeps the edges of respective cells apart
<table cellpadding=“10” cellspacing=“10”> In CSS
Use padding and border-spacing properties td{padding:10px;border-spacing:10px}
Padding and spacing

Spanning a Cell across Columns
You can make a cell span across columns
<td colspan=“n”> … </td> N is number of columns to span
Span = 4
Span= 3
Span = 2
Spanning a cell across Rows
You can make a cell span across rows
<td rowspan=“n”> … </td> N is number of rows to span

RS2 RS

Dividing Your Table into Column Groups Used for grouping columns for formatting Two ways
Structural (allows border control) Goes between <table> and first <tr> <colgroup span=“3” class=“data” /> <colgroup class=“totals” />
Non-structural <col span=“3” class=“data” /> <col class=“totals” />
You can use both together<colgroup span=“3” class=“data”>
<col span=“2” /><col class=“sum” />
</colgroup>
Dividing the table into horizontal Sections Again used for formatting After <table> and before first <tr>
<thead attributes> add rows </thead> <tbody attributes > add rows </tbody> <tfoot attributes > add rows </tfoot> You can only have one head and one foot Attributes can any of the attributes we
have already discussed
Choosing Which External Borders to display You can choose what external sides to
display <table frame=“location”>
Location can be void -> no borders above -> one border above table below -> one border below table vsides -> border on left and right hsides -> border above and below rhs -> right side only lhs -> left side only box -> all four sides
Choosing Which Internal Borders to display You can also choose which internal
borders to display <table rules=“area”>
Area can be none -> no internal borders rows -> lines between rows cols -> lines between cols groups -> lines between colgroups and thead,
tbody and tfoot all -> lines between each row and column
Controlling Line Breaks in a Cell
To keep text on a single line <td nowrap=“nowrap”>text</td> Browser will make that cell as wide as
it needs to be to display text on one line
Overrides any width attributes or properties set
Speeding up Table Display Keep tables small Specify width of table in pixels Specify width of cells in pixels or
percentages Divide table into column groups Add table-layout:fixed to table element
style rule Only looks at first row to determine width of
columns Can cause some cells to be too small
