Creating nice looking tables in HTML can be quite annoying. You have to give the table an ID or class, then give each row a class or give each column a class. Then you have to add some crazy code to make each row alternate color and another set of crazy javascript to make the rows highlight when you mouse over them. Well... That is no longer the case. Below is an example of how to get nice looking HTML tables with very little code or markup.

First things first, if your page is using tables for layout, then stop reading. This solution is for people who only use tables for their intended purpose. So, make sure you are using tables correctly before continuing on.

The day has finally come! Since my POS HP took another crap on me, I've decided enough is enough. So I went out and bought myself a shiny new Mac. And I must say, I'm so glad that I did!

From start to finish, this by far has been one of my most enjoyable projects. It took a few drafts before I started to feel confident in my design, when finally, it all came together. I must say, I'm really pleased with the end result.

Working with Matt was a pleasure. He was very receptive to my ideas from the very beginning. In our first meeting, he came prepared, and gave me all his thoughts and ideas of what the site should contain. Based on this information, and the fact that this was a site for an attorney, I wanted to convey a strong sense of professionalism, with a minimum amount of images, and a sizable amount of textual content. This was not at all a problem for Matt. He was able to come up with some excellent quality content that made it easy to incorporate into the final draft.

For this site, I used XHTML, CSS, Magpie RSS, sIFR (for all headers), and a minimal amount of JavaScript and PHP.
