Methods of Putting a Table on Your Webpage 1. Create a table using colored boxes and text boxes like the example shown above. This is the easiest and most aesthetic method and no programming skill is required. Instructions below. 2. Use the necessary HTML code for tables. Insert the code using an HTML Object. Create the code automatically with the Table Maker Tool here at CoolPageHelp. This method produces cells which expand and contract automatically to fit their content, up to the dimensions of the containing HTML Object. This is an advantage over traditional HTML Editors because one gains the benefits of dynamic tables with the ability to constrain the table to any portion of the window or the whole window and WYSIWYG placement of the HTML Object used. Example: |
Once you have completed your table, it is a good idea to Group all of the objects together. To easily do this, use the Zoom In tool again
so the one pixel wide items (such as background box) will be wider and easier
to select. To Group, select each object while holding down the Shift Key on your keyboard. Once they have all been selected, click on the Edit Menu and then click on Group. You can now easily move the whole table in one drag+drop operation. |
Draw a colored box to be used as table borders. (blue box) Draw colored boxes and place them on top of the first box to make cells. Space the colored boxes the desired distance apart from one another, using the first colored box as a border between them. (white boxes) Draw text boxes or import images and place them on top of the colored boxes. Use these tools in Cool Page for precision: Window Menu\Zoom In Tool and View Menu\Snap to Grid |
