HTML Table Tips

If you are having problems with your tables then set the BORDER=1 attribute in your table tags to see where the tables are. Also ensure that you have all your </TABLE> and </TD> tags as Netscape is not as forgiving as Internet Explorer. If your page includes tables then the browser has to wait until all of them are downloaded before displaying anything, just in case any of the cells need to be resized. In IE 5 and above, there is a new style command that forces the table to stick to the column widths specified, which enables the page to be displayed much quicker. The command is: <TABLE STYLE="table-layout:fixed"> The COLSPAN attribute of the <TD> tag allows you to stretch a cell in one row across two cells in another row, for example:

<TABLE BORDER=1 WIDTH=350 ALIGN=CENTER> <TR> <TD>Cell Two</TD> <TD>Cell Three</TD> </TR> </TABLE>

This cell is spanning the width of the cells below...
