tables

   In this page, I'll give you some examples of tables.

    Geocities' HTML editor has a table maker that gives you the HTML code for the table you want to make. Go into the HTML editor (outside of Page Builder), click on "Launch Table Maker", then enter what you want for the number of rows and of columns, the width of the border, the spacing, the background color. Click on Preview, make changes if you're not satisifed, then click on HTML code, highlight it and copy it with CTRL C, then paste it after the BODY tag in your HTML page. You can also put it on a page made with Page Builder by selecting Insert, then Forms and Scripts and then on HTML code. You may have to resize the box to the width of the page.

    Here is a table I made that way.

You can make a table with only one column like this one:

To change the color of the text, you have to add before your text and after your text. Unfortunately, you need to do this for every cell of your table (you can copy the line and then paste it in each <td> line). The line then looks like this:
<TD>Home</TD>
I don't think you can change the color of links. You then get this:

You can make a table with one row and one column to write text with a different color background like this:

You can also make a table with Paint Shop Pro (the same way that you make a banner), save it with its background color (not transparent) and then upload it as an image.

I would have to format the text by adding more HTML code to make it look it better. I think it is easier to make a text with a different background color and text color using Page Builder than the Table maker. If you want to change the text color, you select Format, then Page Properties and you change the color. You then open a new text box by clicking on Text, you choose the police and size and you write text in it. Then you save your page, you view it in your browser, you look at the HTML code by selecting View and then Page Source, you copy it and insert it in HTML code in Page Builder or in the HTML editor. You then add BGCOLOR ="(the code of the color you want)" in the TABLE tag. It looks like this:
<table width="100%" bgcolor="#9999FF" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">

You can also change the text color in HTML as explained above. I made the Back to Building a Website text below that way.

These 2 tutorials have a section on rounded corner tables. An even easier approach can be found at this site:

Nutrocker

Download the transparent files there. To change the color of the table itself, change the background color in the second table tag of the HTML code.
If you have a background color for your web page, you will need to change the color of your 4 corner files with GIFWorks. You will also need to change the background color in the first table tag of the HTML code. Then change the text, the width, the height and the font color and you can get something like this:

You can see the HTML codes for all the tables on this page by selecting View from the menu and then Page Source or by clicking on the link above.
