Netscape Navigator Gold
Web Page Editor Tutorial
![[9) Creating Tables]](step9.gif)
This step deals with tables,
and how to create them. You must be using Netscape Navigator Gold v3.0
Beta 3 or higher in order to complete this step. Only a few browsers
currently support tables, so you may wish to not use them. If you would
like to skip this step, Bail
Out now...
The first thing you have
to do is decide where on your page you would like your table. Begin by
clicking after the final entry in the ordered list (Dodge Neon). Press
return. Another double pound sign should appear. End the ordered list (get
rid of the double pound signs), and then click on the second to last button
on the middle button-bar (it is a square divided into four sections). The
following dialog box should appear.
You want to create a table with
5 rows and 3 columns, with a border line width of 2 pixels, cell spacing
of 3 pixels, and cell padding of 2 pixels. Check the box marked "Table
width:" and make sure it is set at "100 % of window." If you wish to change
the cell color, check the appropriate box, and click "Choose Color." You
may pick any color you wish. If the text later becomes hard to read on
the table because of the background color, you now know how to change it!
You also wish to include a caption above the table. When all these selections
are correct, click OK.
The cursor should now be
above the table and centered. Type the following: "The following is a cost
analysis of some cars:". Next, click in the top left cell of table. Going
across the top, enter "Year" in the first cell, "Saturn" in the second
cell, and "Neon" in the third cell. Going down the left-hand side (under
"Year") enter "1994" in the first cell; and then "1995", "1996", and "1997
(predicted)" in the remaining three cells. In the 8 cells under the car
names, enter some dollar amounts... you can pick 'em. Below is a look at
what your table should resemble.
Your final document should look
like this
one. Well, that is about all for now. Netscape Navigator Gold does
not support forms or frames as of yet. When it does, hopefully this tutorial
will expand to cover them, but for now, that's all folks! You can now return
to the start of the Netscape
Gold Tutorial, or go see some fish!
