Assignment Five
We need to understand the history of content placement so we can appreciate what we have to work with today. Also we need to know the basics of tables.
Positioning Content Through The Ages
In this lab we are going to take more control over the layout of our web pages. You need to have the first 2 items listed below, however, I suggest you experiment with the third -- we will see parts of it return later in the class. Your new additions should include:
  • At least 1 plain old table -- However your table should set the following attributes at a minimum.
    • Border Size
    • Cell Color & Border Color
    • Cell Padding & Cell Spacing

  • A Content Placement Control table -- Yep, these will be replaced by CSS, but we need to know how to do one because they are still used for quick, down and dirty fixes. The table should use at least 2 column spans and 2 row spans.

  • Storyboard Table -- Use what you know to create a unique layout (something that is not just in rows and columns).
