Lab 17: Practice with CSS Tables and Outlines
Instructions:
- The first thing you will be doing in this lab is creating a data table.
- Content is at your discretion and should be appropriate to a school assignment.
- Your data table should have at least 7 rows and 7 columns.
- In your first pass at styling this table (saved in a file named lab17a.html), really push the envelope in terms of what the standards allow and what the most standards-supportive browsers will do.
Check to make sure that it degrades acceptably in less-supportive browsers (e.g., that content is still readable, that is does not look completely awful, etc.)
- In your second pass at styling this table (saved in a separate file named lab17b.html) take a very different approach and try to accommodate the older and less-supportive browsers to a greater extent. This alternate approach is a more middle-of-the-road styling where you
are not pushing the envelope as much and also not causing as much degradation.
- All CSS should be valid (with the exception of the -moz-outline property) and be stored in external files called via <link />
- Both files should be valid XHTML 1.0 Strict
- Link your XHTML files to and from your class page.
- Upload your files to the server and also copy them to your removable media.
