| THE CAPTION TAG |
|---|
|
Recently we talked about the use of the <th> tag, normally used to title tables. But there's another tag that MSN TV/WebTV people don't usually use, the <caption> tag. It is used to give a table a title or caption that appears to be ABOVE (default) the table itself. The <th> tag, however, looks like part of the table. You can also use <caption align="bottom"> so the caption will appear below the table instead of above it.
Since the <caption> tag functions like a table cell, you must put the font tag inside the caption tag. |
This is the Caption
| Table Title |
|---|
| Contents of table here, text, images, scopes. |

| CHANGING TEXT COLORS ON PAGE |

Want to see a really neat effect? Just click on the buttons below and - SURPRISE!
After clicking on a button, scroll up and down the page.
This code over-rides all text color that is controlled by the body tag. Any text color that has been changed from the body text color by span or font tags is not affected!

USING SMALL IMAGES
AS TABLE BORDERS |
|---|
|
You can find many small images, usually called buttons, on graphic sites. Try using them for a table background. To make the border look balanced all around the table, size the table in multiples of the button's width and height. For example, if the button is 40x50, then size the table to say 5 times those numbers. So your table will be 200x250. See how the following tables below are sized to fit the buttons used. |
The following "frame" consists of 3 nested tables,
each having a Greek key type of image
for their backgounds. Invertborders.
Here's another Geek key bordered table by RayHarry.
Notice the cool color effect caused by the
20-pixel borders of the 2 nested tables.
