A Silly Page

For Day 4 of JOMC 050.

This is a short and silly page, but it has a banjo on it... and it introduces about 20 HTML tags, including tags for text alignment, tables, a link to another Web page, a link to an email address, background colors, a background gif file and "inline" image files.

How many table cells are here?  

Use "view source" to see the contents of this page, and try to figure out how it works. There are several invisible comments in the file for testing purposes. Don't let them confuse you. Remind me to explain what the invisible code " " means and why it's included in the table cells, since that's something you may see a lot of when we try Netscape Composer.
  Then save your own copy of the file and its elements, and play with it... See what happens if you add a border to the table, pad or space the cells, or change the color of cells.

The "TABLE" tags allow you more powerful control of space on the browser screen. Each table begins and ends with TABLE tags, TR stands for "table row," and TD for "table data" (meaning the data or contents of one cell in the table).
