HTML Tables: Tips and Pitfalls
- When designing your page, put a border around the table so you can see what is
going on inside the table. You can remove the border, if desired, after everything
looks good.
- If you are getting strange results, check that all your tags match up. (i.e.
<TD> matches to a </TD>)
- If you use a tag inside the <TD> or <TH> tag, it will only be active
for that cell. You will have to reissue the tag for every cell where you want that
effect
- Likewise any tag active before the <TABLE> will not be active inside the table.
- If you have a blank page in Netscape, you are missing the ending </TABLE> tag.
- When you start embedding tables, get each table formatted on it's own before
embedding the text table.
