Day 2: Tables and Columns and Rows and Cells

The majority of you will want to use tables to position the elements of your web page into your desired layout. At first, tables seem to be a convoluted and non-intuitive way to work, especially if you are coming from a world of print design, but if you layout your idea on paper, and follow some basic rules, it isn't too difficult.

Dreamweaver allows you to insert a table on your page, you can specify the number of rows and columns, the width of the entire table, the width of individual cells (TD's) and the height of the rows.

Hey Tracy. I had asked you earlier today what the options are for those of us who are interested in creating a "gallery" of our work. Did you happen to find a link that would help us with the javascript option? I looked around for a while, but not knowing the 'language' myself I don't know if what I found would help me at all. Here's one link for instance : http://tutorialdog.com/javascript-image-gallery-using-mootools/

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions tomorrow. Thanks!
