How the heck does this work??

Therat · 02-07-2004, 08:16 AM

I'm fairly new at HTML and like to go to 'cool' sites and study the coding. It helps one to learn. There is a site, www.crescentplastics.com that looks easy but there's stuff in there I dont understand why.
1) Appears the 'page' is centered using an H6 tag! What am I missing?
2) Uses a rowspan=14. Does that tie everything together? How?

Any help greatly appreciated,
The Rat

looks to me like its fine... lol
<H6 ALIGN=CENTER> is what everything starts with, everything ends with </H6>
putting center with it, will just um, center it... then its closed with, instead of </center>, it's </H6>
and thats through the whole page, making the whole page centered...
Doesnt that make sense?

and the ROWSPAN atribute just means the cell should span across 14 rows in the table.

I'm kinda new to actually learning html (WYSIWYG all the way), but if you're trying to learn from the source, why would you choose sites with javascript?
