| <COLGROUP> </COLGROUP> |
If you wanted to create a table that had a single, wide description column followed by a series of small check boxes, you would code: <TABLE> <COLGROUP span="10" width="30"> <COLGROUP span="1" width="0*"> <THREAD> <TR>... </TABLE> This way, the first <COLGROUP> tag formats all ten check boxes, much nicer than typing in ten identical specifications--for each row! |
Allows you finer control over the formatting of tables by specifying groups of columns that share width and alignment properties. Every table must have at least one <COLGROUP>; without any specific <COLGROUP> definition, HTML 4.0 assumes the table consists of a single column group that contains all the columns of the table. |
| <FIELDSET> </FIELDSET> |
With the <FIELDSET>...</FIELDSET> tag, you can group related form fields, making your form easier to read and use. Human brains like to be able to classify information, and <FIELDSET> helps do just that. When you enclose a group of form elements in the <FIELDSET> tags, the browser will group the elements so you can easily tell they belong together. | |
| <LABEL> </LABEL> |
Use <LABEL> with <FIELDSET> to attach a label to the form grouping. | |
| <BUTTON> </BUTTON> |
Another addition to forms, allows you to have push buttons on forms that more closely resemble push buttons available in Windows and other applications. Many aspects of <BUTTON> are similar to those of <INPUT> elements of types submit and reset, but <BUTTON>, in the words of the W3C, "allows richer presentational possibilities." One example of a "richer presentational possibility" is the fact that a <BUTTON> has beveled, shadowed edges, looking 3-D rather than flat, and "moves" when clicked, giving the impression of being pushed in, then released. | |
