HTML is easy to program with experience, and you don't need fancy editors, or programs like Microsoft's Frontpage, as these tend to complicate the code. All you need to program a good webpage is a simple text editor such as Notepad. You will find this in Start - Programs - Accessories. Along with Notepad a Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer, Netscape 6 or Opera. There is very little difference between them, but it is always a good idea to check in all your available browsers.
A basic table
Tables are made up from different tags, but all are very easy to learn, and I will try to cover them all here.
<TABLE BORDER>
<TR>
<TD> ITEM 1 </TD>
<TD> ITEM 2 </TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD> ITEM 3 </TD>
<TD> ITEM 4 </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
This is the most basic table that you can make, as you can see it displays all the information clearly.
| Item 1 | Item 2 |
| Item 3 | Item 4 |
The vertical Items 1 and 3 are in the same Coloumn, but in different Rows. Where as Items 1 and 2 are in the same Row, but in different Coloumns. You can add an extra Row by adding a new <TR> and </TR> tag, and to add an extra Coloumn you would add a new <TD> and </TD> to an existing <TR> and </TR> tag.
