Making Really Wide Pages


For some reason we usually scroll up and down when viewing a page. This is probably a good thing. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to scroll side to side? It seems reasonable to do this. One way you can accomplish this is to use a really wide table like this one. You will need to look at the source code to see how it's done. Actually it's really easy. You will notice that the table tag has an attribute called width. You just set that attribute to more than 100% and you get a table wider than the page. (Some browsers might require that you set the width to a fixed number of pixels.) The other thing about tables is that they use TD tags in about the same way that OLs use LI tags. So, this brings us to the topic of your assignment. You will create a really wide table which contains a total of ten images all set to the same size and which preferably tell a story or have some kind of unifying theme. Obviously, you can add an image inside a TD just like you add it to any other portion of the page. But remember that you will probably need to control the size of your images in order to get them all to be the same size. Each image must be presented in its own TD or cell as they are often called.
