HTML Layout - Using Tables:
The simplest and most popular way of creating layouts is using HTML <table> tag. These tables are arranged in columns and rows, so you can utilize these rows and columns in whatever way you like.
For example, the following HTML layout example is achieved using a table with 3 rows and 2 columns - but the header and footer column spans both columns using the colspan attribute:
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="background-color:#CC99FF;">
<h1>This is Web Page Main title</h1>
</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td style="background-color:#FFCCFF;
width:100px;text-align:top;">
<b>Main Menu</b><br />
HTML<br />
PHP<br />
PERL...
</td>
<td style="background-color:#eeeeee;height:200px;
width:300px;text-align:top;">
welcome to you
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="background-color:#CC99FF;">
<center>
Copyrights are saved
</center>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

This will produce following result:

Multiple Columns Layouts - Using Tables
You can design your webpage to put your web content in multiple pages. You can keep your content in middle column and you can use left column to use menu and right column can be used to put advertisement or some other stuff.
Here is an example to create three column layout:
<table width="100%" border="0">
<tr valign="top">
<td style="background-color:#FFCCFF;width:20%;
text-align:top;">
<b>Main Menu</b><br />
HTML<br />
PHP<br />
PERL...
</td>
<td style="background-color:#eeeeee;height:200px;
width:60%;text-align:top;">
welcome to you
</td>
<td style="background-color:#FFCCFF;
width:20%;text-align:top;">
<b>Right Menu</b><br />
HTML<br />
PHP<br />
PERL...
</td>
</tr>
<table>

This will produce following result:

HTML Layouts - Using DIV, SPAN
The div element is a block level element used for grouping HTML elements. While the div tag is a block-level element, the HTML span element is used for grouping elements at an inline level.
Although we can achieve pretty nice layouts with HTML tables, tables weren't really designed as a layout tool. Tables are more suited to presenting tabular data.
You can achieve same result whatever you have achieved using <table> tag in previous example.
<div style="width:100%">
<div style="background-color:#CC99FF;">
<b style="font-size:150%">This is Web Page Main title</b>
</div>
<div style="background-color:#FFCCFF;
height:200px;width:100px;float:left;">
<b>Main Menu</b><br />
HTML<br />
PHP<br />
PERL...
</div>
<div style="background-color:#eeeeee;
height:200px;width:300px;float:left;">
welcome to you
</div>
<div style="background-color:#CC99FF;clear:both">
<center>
Copyrights are saved
</center>
</div>
</div>
|
This will produce following result:
This is Web Page Main title
Main Menu
HTML PHP PERL...
welcome to you
