This is the second practice page

First adding the links for Lesson 6

now I've added a background and image

This link is to practice.html squishing stone

And this image is also a link back to the first page.

Let's add an email link:
heyray3@aol.com
Remember that it's a good idea to include the actual e-mail address in the mailto: link, just in case your visiter doesn't have their Internet preferences set to deal with e-mail. Then they can, at least, cut and paste the e-mail address.

I will be writing you a very brief e-mail to check your mailto: link.

This is the same basic table from the previous page -- but I'm doing some different things with it. For example, I have now taken out the background color and made the border="0" (notice that all of the "rules" - the lines between cells - have also disappeared -- except where I have made this row gray)	If you're going to use the colspan or rowspan attributes, then you need to be very careful that you fix the number of cells so everything still fits!
One big problem with some tables, especially if you have a list, or a lot of text, or a big picture in a cell, is that the rest of the row falls out of alignment -- a big help here is to use the valign="top" attribute on each cell. Then no matter how the information is in one cell, everything will still be aligned to the top of the cell, making the material look more aligned. (This has been a lot of information in one cell)	This sentence has not been aligned AND it spans 2 rows. Notice where it appears in relation to the other cells.	While another short sentence, is aligned to the top of the cell.
You can always include a background color, even when the border is 0.		You can also include images or links --- be sure to include all the attributes necessary (height, width, alt, etc.)

Notice the different in the horizontal rule? It's in color! I just added the color attribute to the <hr> tag. You never know what you might be able to do (or like) until you try some of these things.

Now, I also need a link to an external site -- so I'm going to use:

my own web site
You'll need to use the browser's "back" button to return to this page.

Notice that I set the color of the text on this link. This in an example of an in-line style. No matter what preferences the visitor has on their own computer, this font color will always remain the same.
