The Table Elements

Tables consist of columns and rows. You can create tables in your webpage
when you want to display your data in row and column form. To create a table in
HTML, we use the <TABLE> </TABLE> tags. There are also Sub-element tags that
can be used for setting the Table Alignment.
Below are the tags that allow you to control on how text and images are
aligned without having to deal with the frustrating general tags that cannot place an
element, the way you prefer an image to appear. Sub-elements of Table are shown
below.

Frames
Frames are used to display multiple HTML files. They act dynamic unlike in
table it is static. Website visitors find it appealing when the choices of information
are not pressed to one side of the page. Frames are well used when the main topics
are hyperlinked and placed at the left of the page. And all the content belonging to
a particular topic is placed at the right side of the page. Commonly, the left side
occupies only 20% of the page while the right side of the page takes the rest.

A Frame consists of at least 3 HTML documents. Frame elements are like


picture frames which can be divided horizontally, vertically, or even both. A sample
program is shown below.
HTML Program 5

Below is the Program Output of the HTML Program 5. You can notice that
the webpage is divided into 2 columns as set on the HTML Program. The output you
see on the left side of the page is the output of the AsianCountry.html which is
invoked by the SRC attribute. In the same way, History.html is the filename of the
program you see on the right side of the page.
