Web Site Building: Optimizing Web Tables.
Web site building: optimizing web tables.
In this article I want to tell you about optimizing of web tables, why it is so essential for website building and how you it can actually improve your web page look, so just keep on reading. Everyone knows that the browser carries out creation and display of loaded page gradually, in process of loading of components that are making it. At first the visitor will see the page text then the drawing, applets and its other elements will start to “be shown”. Such possibility is very convenient for the user, as allows to familiarize with a part of the information and to find necessary references without waiting of end of loading.
At loading of page with the table a browser not in a state to display contents of cells of the table until will finish loading of contents of these cells. It is connected with that it is necessary for browser to know the sizes of the table which can repeatedly change in contents loading process. Thus, the user can’t see the text in the table before the termination of loading of contents of this table.
The output from the formed situation to us is offered by creators of browsers which enter own HTML extensions and CSS for optimization of operation of the browsers. I suggest you to familiarize with possibilities of a browser of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
Productivity of creation of the table in IE can be considerably increased if to install for this table style table-layout in value fixed. Thus the sizes of the table will be defined in the following order:
* With attribute usage width tags COL and COLGROUP.
* By the analysis of formatting of the first line of the table.
* Equal division of width of the table into an amount of its cells.
At usage of tags COL it is necessary to set attribute width for each of them and for tag TABLE. If tags COL aren’t specified, the browser will analyze a format of the first line of the table and will build all remaining lines, using the acquired information. If it is impossible to define a format of the first line and tags COL the size of the table to share equally between all its columns aren’t specified.
The scoring in speed especially impresses in a case with the big tables. You can look at an example.
Unfortunately, this approach doesn’t work in Netscape Navigator. But it also doesn’t hinder its operation as browsers ignore unfamiliar tags and attributes. In Netscape Navigator I will tell about optimization of tables in the following article and you can achieve identical result, applying to tables both approaches simultaneously.
Currently the online technologies are very popular. The Internet network is not only a place to entertain but also a platform to make money. Whatever the reason is, to be presented in the Internet one needs a site. And this is when the question how to make a website arises. Those who are searching for info on how to build a website, should refer to the Web itself. It is full of docs on how to make a website and related topics.
In any way, it wouldn’t be smart not to take advantage of this chance provided to us by modern technologies. Google and other search engines, social networks and forums, blogs – all of them could help to find info on “make a business website” and similar topics.
