More Tables

We're going to look at a couple TABLE and TD attributes in this lesson. First of all, let's take a look a CELLPADDING:

The stick figure shown to the right has several strands of hair. Can you count them?

Here's the exact same table without cellpadding specified:

Examine the source code to see how cellpadding is used.

Next up we have BGCOLOR. Consider the following sample table:

Cell 01	Cell 02	Cell 03
Cell 04	Cell 05	Cell 06
Cell 07	Cell 08	Cell 09

ASSIGNMENT:
Create a 4x4 table according to the following specifications:

Select a topic for your page and place a title at the top of your page
Find four small images pertaining to your topic and place them in separate cells in column two
Column one will be a name or label associated with the item in column two
Columns three and four will be used for information pertaining to items in each row.
Create a two-color checkerboard pattern using bgcolor in each TD
Make sure you use font colors which contrast with cell background colors

Example topics include food, organisms, locations, substances, elements, etc. For instance, if you decide to use REPTILES as your topic, you would find images of four reptiles and put those images in column two. The names of those reptiles would be included in column one. Column three might include information about the color of the reptiles included in your table and column four might be something about their favorite foods.
