Alright, so I wanted to mess around with creating a table, specifically looking at “pl table 15 16”. I’ve done some basic HTML stuff before, but nothing too fancy. This seemed like a good little project to get my hands dirty.
Getting Started
First, I just opened up a plain text editor. I didn’t bother with any fancy code editors, just something simple to type in. I knew the basic structure of an HTML document, you know, the <html>, <head>, and <body> tags. So, I started with that.
Then inside the <body>, I started with the <table> tag. This is what tells the browser “Hey, we’re making a table here!”.
Building the Table
I used the <tr> tag, which I remembered stands for “table row.” Because every new data in the table, need a fresh row, right?
- I wanted a header row, So I filled this first row with some the
<th>tag.I think it’s short for “table header” or something. It makes the text bold and centered, which is perfect for headings.
- After the header row, I started adding more rows using
<tr>again. Inside each of these rows, I used<td>, and that is used for the actual data.
Filling with datas
I just typed in the numbers and team names I found. I didn’t use any database or anything, just manually typed everything in. It’s a bit tedious, yeah, but it’s a small table, so it wasn’t too bad.
Styling
Honestly, I didn’t do much styling. I remembered a tiny bit about CSS, but I didn’t want to get bogged down in that. The default table look was fine for what I needed, I tried the tag <strong> to bold the text.
The Finished Product
And that’s pretty much it! I saved the file as “*” and opened it in my browser. It worked! It wasn’t the prettiest table in the world, but it displayed the data I wanted, and that’s all I cared about. A very basic, no-frills table, but hey, it’s a start.
It’s a simple project, you can completely build a simply table from zero, maybe I’ll try to make it look nicer later, but for now, I’m happy with it.
