• Cell tags. A set of cell tags surrounds every cell (except those cells you designate as
header cells). Cell tags are nested inside the row tags. Every table must have at least
one cell. Cell tags take the form:
<td attribute1=”value” attribute2=”value”>text in the cell</td>
Every cell in the table has its own set of cell tags (unless it is a header cell), and any
attributes applied to the cell are contained in the opening cell tag. Attributes that you
apply to columns appear in the cell tags for each cell in the column.
• Header cell tags. A set of header cell tags surrounds every cell that you designate as a
header cell by checking the Header check box in the Property inspector while the cell
is selected. Like regular cell tags, header cell tags are nested between the row tags.
Header cell tags take the form:
<th attribute1=”value” attribute2=”value”>text in the cell</th>
Every header cell in the table has its own set of header cell tags, and any attributes
applied to the cell are contained in the opening tag.
A table might seem complex; however, all table code can be broken down into the
four types of tags just described. Figure 5-48 shows the table in the schedule.html page
in Code view.
