Tables Tutorial Comments

I followed the directions on pages 242-250, using the required files for “Building the table” and “Styling the playlist table,” to complete the assignments. I changed the color in the ‘th-header-tag’ from c9c9c9 which is a gray to 006600 a green

I used the Doc-type and header from the xhtml-basic.html from the basic boilerplates in chapter 1 of the textbook practice lessons for my html page. When I finally completed my assignment and validated the html page, it validated but with a warning. The warning told me that the character set encoding for the html (iso-8859-1) and the meta (utf-8) tags were different and to validate it took the first direction for encoding which was from the html tag. I made the two the same (iso-8859-1 to remove the warning. So both the CSS and XHTML validated without any problems.

I replaced the last three items in the music list with three songs from my IPod list. And I changed the color of the background of the tfoot tag from #dddddd a gray to #0000ff a blue, and the text of the same tag from the color #555555 a dark gray to #ffff00 a yellow.
