Practical 2
Open index.html in PFE and add some formatting using colour, horizontal lines and divisions
tables
How do they do that?
Introducing the table
Introducing the table
the table contains table rows
the table rows contain table cells

layout with tables
Use of tables
Originally designed for tabular data:

My Second Table
hello hello
one two
Experiment with some other page layouts - e.g. using tables of fixed width.
introducing style
Why can't we change the font? The colour?
<font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" color="#ff0000">
</p>My Web Page
<p>
uses different fonts and colours</font>
Seems easy enough...
<p>Twas <a href="brillig.html"><font face="Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif" size="+1" color="#FF0000">brillig</font></a>,and the slithy toves<br>Did gyre and <a href="gimble.html"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="+1" color="#FF0000">gimble</font></a>in the wabe:<br>All <a href="mimsy.html"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="+1" color="#FF0000">mimsy</font></a>were the <a href="borogoves.html"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="+1" color="#FF0000">borogoves</font></a>,<br>And the mome raths <a href="outgrabe.html"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="+1" color="#FF0000">outgrabe</font></a>.</p>
Put some style in your head
<p>Johnny takes <a href="meta.html">Metaphorazine</a>. Every clockwork day.<br>Says it <a href="burns.html">burns</a> his house down, with a haircut made of wings.<br>You could say he eats a <a href="problem.html">problem.</a><br>You could say he stokes his thrill.<br>Every <a href="clingfilm.html">clingfilm</a> evening, climb inside a little pill.<br>Intoxicate the feelings. Play those <a href="skullpiano.html"> skull-piano</a> blues.<br><a href="johnny.html">Johnny</a> takes Metaphorazine. He's a dog.</p>

h2 {color : Green; font-family : Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}
p {color : Black; font-family : Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}</style>

There's a reference of style sheet commands in your handouts.
