  2. Add Data Tables (pp. 162-163) • Tables allow the addition of easily organized data, such as images, numbers, specifications, etc. The structure is:<table> [opening table tag]<tr> [table row; as many as needed] </tr> <td> [table data (aka, “cells”) </td> • First download ch07.zip into downloadssubfolder • copy & paste ch07zip into class_worksubfolder • extract (unzip) ch07.zip, which becomes subfolder ch07 into class_worksubfolder • Right-click tables.html and select Edit with Notepad++ • On a new line after <body> type: <table> </table> [If saved & viewed, nothing appears yet] More . . .

  3. Add Data Tables (pp. 162-163 CONT.) …and between the table tags enter the following rows & data: • Save tables.html and view it in a browser. Column widths are dependent on the widest <td> entry for each column. • Note: Do NOT use tables to layout web pages (use CSS).

  4. Format Tables with CSS (pp. 164-165) • Tables are fairly bland without CSS. Properties used to format text are great for text in cells. Background-color for all structural aspects of the table, and borders can be formatted. • Continuing on tables.html, before </head> type: <style type="text/css"> table { background-color: #FFC955; border: 1px solid #540907; } </style> Save tables.html and view it in a browser. • Experiment with formatting TIPS, bottom of p. 165 (place borders around cells, then alternate row colors, e.g., .F90). See “DONE”

  5. Create Complex Tables (pp. 166-167) • Similar to “merging cells”, the attributes colspan merges cells along rows, and rowspan merges cells along columns. • Continuing on tables.html, before </table> type: <tr> <td colspan="3">Other Personnel</td> <!—[this merges the 3 cells as 1 cell on this row]--> </tr> • Save tables.html and view it in a browser noting merged cells. • Note: See TIPS at bottom of p. 167 for “merging” cells.

  6. Add a Header Row (pp. 168-169) • To make tables more meaningful (for traditional and visually challenged users), table headers, <th>, replace <td> in the first row and or column. They default as bold and centered. • Continuing on tables.html, replace the table data tags in the 1st row with table header tags: <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Department</th> <th>Phone</th><tr> • Save tables.html and view it noting NEW header formatting. • Note: See TIPS at bottom of p. 169 for thoughts on headers. Table headers do NOT need to be the 1st row of a table, and you can change the appearance using CSS.

  7. Add Table Sections (pp. 170-171) • Three table sections are available and used in this order: <thead>, <tfoot>, and <tbody>. In addition to giving meaning, for long tables that may be printed on more than 1 page, the <thead> and <tfoot> contents will print (on all pages). • Continuing on tables.html, on a new line after <table> type:<thead>, placing </thead> after the 1st </tr>…and on a new line after </thead>type: <tfoot> <tr> <td colspan="3">All numbers are area code 999</td> </tr> </tfoot>…and on a new line after </tfoot>type:<tbody>, placing </tbody> on a new line before </table> • Save tables.html and view it noting (while we added a line in the footer) there is NO appearance change. • Coding sections “logically”, cutting & pasting correctly is common.

  8. Add an Unordered List (pp. 172-173) • Unordered (or bulleted) lists are most common list types with easy, common sense tags <ul> and <li> (list items). • Right-click unorderedlists.html, select Edit with Notepad++, and on a new line after <body> type: <ul> <li>"Jump", Van Halen</li> <li>"Mickey", Tony Basil</li> <li>"Blaze of Glory", Bon Jovi</li> <li>"TikTok", KeSha</li> </ul> <!-- double quotes (" ") are NOT required above --> • Save unorderedlists.html and view it noting bulleting items. • See TIPS on changing bullet appearance and nesting bullets.

  9. Add an Ordered List (pp. 174-175) • Ordered (or number ordered) lists are the 2nd most common list type with similar, common sense tags <ol> and <li> (list items). • Right-click orderedlists.html, select Edit with Notepad++, and on a new line after <body> type: <ol> <li>"Serenity"</li> <li>"Star Wars"</li> <li>"The Empire Strikes Back"</li> <li>"Up"</li> <li>"The Princess Bride"</li> </ol> <!-- double quotes (“ “) are NOT required above --> • Save orderedlists.html and view it noting numbered items. • Note: Letters can replace numbers using CSS (see TIPS, p. 175).

  10. Definition Lists [NOT IN BOOK] • Definition lists are the least common list type, and use 3 sets of tags:<dl> definition list<dt> definition term (rather than item)<dd> definition description • Right-click definitionlists.html, select Edit with Notepad++, and on a new line after <body> type these 2 terms and definitions: <dl> <dt>Admiral Grace Hopper</dt> <dd>Key pioneer in computers and programming.</dd> <dt>ENIAC</dt> <dd>The first electronic, mechanical computer</dd> </dl> • Save definitionlists.html and view it noting the format. • Notes: Consider indenting code. CSS can change the format/style.

  11. Style Lists (pp. 176-177) • Like virtually anything else, lists can also be styled, with a good number of supporting properties and values. Indentations and the bullets themselves can be changed, as well as the numbering schemes. CSS list-style-type property allows values of disc (default), square, or circle. Common values for numbering schemes include lower-roman, upper-roman, lower-alpha, upper-alpha, decimal-leading-zero & decimal. • Within unorderedlists.html, on a new line before </head> type: <style type= "text/css"> ul { list-style-type: square; margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px; } </style> • Save unorderedlists.html and view noting bullet and indent changes. • See TIPS, p. 177, to eliminate or customize bullets using images (see “Navigation” and “1way2float3” respectively on our class “Hot!” page).

  12. Replace List Bullet with a Custom Image [NOT IN BOOK] • In addition to styling a list by changing the default bullet (like the last slide), the standard default bullets can be replaced by a custom image. Make sure the image used is an appropriate (proportional) size. • Right-click custombullets.html and Edit with Notepad++: ul { list-style-type: square; list-style-image: url('images/Gopherbullet.jpg'); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 25px; } • Save as custombullets.html and view the custom bullets. • Again, see TIPS, p. 177, to eliminate or customize bullets using images (see “Navigation” and “1way2float3” on our class “Hot!” page).

  13. To Do List • Read Chapter 7 • Revisit what we did in class • Be careful as we do not follow book • Remember, MUCH more detail about anything we cover is: • at w3.org • the Appendices of your book • DOCUMENT Your Project • You should have turned in your draft plans and received them back already with comments. • Remember, websites about one of your passions is usually a winner.
