Tables or formatting data

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 09.2003

Hello, I want to display data in a web page in a table format. My first inclination was to use some type of tabbing feature in HTML, but I could not figure this out, so I instead am using a table. Question 1: Is there a tab tag in HTML ?

Question 2: My current HTML table has a raised border. Can I specify no border around the table at all ? Is so, how do I do this?

Question 3: In my table, the text in the heading comes out rather big and goofy looking. How do I control the font of the heading text. Here is my HTML code:

<TABLE BORDER ALIGN=CENTER>
<TR>
<TH>Fruit</TH>
<TH>Vegetables</TH>
<TH>Grains</TH>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Apples</TD>
<TD>Spinach</TD>
<TD>Bread</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Bananna</TD>
<TD>Tomatoe</TD>
<TD>crackers</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

@DaveSWSep 09.2003 — 1) <p style="text-indent: 25px;"> Indented text</p>

you could use margin-left instead to move the entire text block to the right.


2) <TABLE BORDER="0" ALIGN="CENTER">


3) In your head section:

<style type="text/css"><!--

th {

font-size: 100%;

}

--> </style>

@96turnerriSep 09.2003 — alternativly for q3 you could add font tags <font> say <font size="10" face="Arial" etc>Bananas</font>

@CharlesSep 10.2003 — [font=georgia]The FONT element was depricated back in 1997 and with good reason. Use style sheets instead. They are much more powerful and easier and give you a better web page in the end.[/font]

@96turnerriSep 10.2003 — true but from the looks of it its a simple site and instead a whole style sheet, easier to use font tag

@CharlesSep 10.2003 — [font=georgia]In what way is

[font=monospace]<th><font size="10" face="Arial" etc>Bananas</font></th>[/font]

easier than

[font=monospace]<th style="font-size:100%; font-family:Arial, sans-serif">Bananas</th>[/font]

or

[font=monospace]<th><font size="10" face="Arial" etc>Bananas</font></th>

<th><font size="10" face="Arial" etc>Tomatoe</font></th>

<th><font size="10" face="Arial" etc>crackers</font></th>[/font]

easier than

[font=monospace]<style type="text/css">

<!--

th {font-size: 100%}

-->

</style>

<th>Bananas</th>

<th>Tomatoes</th>

<th>crackers</th>[/font]?[/font]

@96turnerriSep 10.2003 — its not easier than one of the ones you used cos u used the same one, i mean its easier than creating a style sheet, if its only a small page or site

@pyroSep 10.2003 — Even if it were easier (which it is not), that is no excuse to use invalid markup. When a tag is depreciated, that means that browsers no longer need to support it. Not sure about you, but I like the though of my site being forward compatable.
