Points value: 10 extra credit points

Ah, tables. They aren't the most exciting things, but there may be a day when you need to include tabular data on a web page.

Instructions for Chapter 13

For this chapter, you’ll be using the files you created in Chapter 8. Start by making a copy of your “chapter8” files and pasting them into your “chapter13” folder.

You also need two of the files from the downloaded textbook files for this chapter. First, go to the downloaded textbook files, find the “chapter13/journal” folder, make a copy of “table.html”, and paste it into your own “chapter13” folder. Then, in “chapter13/journal/images”, make a copy of “backpack.gif” and paste it into your own “chapter13/journal/images” folder.

The exercise starts on p. 605 (“What the browser creates”). You will update “table.html” to include the additional rows from p. 603 (“How do you make tables with HTML?”).

Remember to let me know if you have any questions.
