Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

Starting with HTML
eb pages are ordinary files with “.htm” or “.html” file extensions. They contain a code named
"hyper text mark-up language" or html. This codes when viewed in a browser like Internet
Explorer or Firefox or other web browsers will be seen as a web page. Web pages you see in a
browser might seem simple, but the code under the web page may sometimes be complicated.
To design an html web page you have two options:
• You can use a web page editor like Microsoft FrontPage, Adobe Dreamweaver or similar to create
web pages. Webpage editor software works like Microsoft Word™ (a complicated editor program
used for creating and editing pages of books, letters etc.). You just type text, insert graphics and finally
save your document as an html web page. Web page design software will generate the html code in
background and saves it in html file. Designing web pages in such software can be very easy. But if
you are going to create dynamic, well designed, professional web pages you will find that this is not a
good option. A professional web developer needs to understand the html code itself very well.
• Second option is to learn html codes and write html pages in a simple text editor. As mentioned
earlier, your codes will be seen as WebPages when viewed in a web browser. After you have learned
html code and you are confident about your HTML knowledge, you can use web page design
software like Dreamweaver to speed up the process of editing pages.
Reasons why we should write HTML code (second option)
• If you want to design professional web pages, using web page design software alone will not be
enough. You must be familiar with html codes to perform small modifications to the generated code.
Code generated by these software packages is sometimes big and chaotic and maintaining such code is
difficult. You will need to modify the code and optimize it or even write the code without their help.
• If you want to design dynamic web pages (as in most of the websites) you will need to know html
codes to be able to generate it programmatically.
• If you want to use forms in your pages to send information to your own or someone else’s server and
return result pages back to browser you will need to know html codes.

For this course you will need a simple text editor to write html codes. For example you can use notepad in
windows or any text editor in other operating systems. You will also need a browser like Internet explorer or
Mozilla Firefox. In this course we will assume that you are working in Windows 9X/NT/2000/XP/Vista.
Open notepad and type the following code.
Example 1-1: page1-1.html
<HTML>
Hello world!
</HTML>
Now save the text as "page11.html". Notepad by default will add a “.txt” extension to every file it saves. To
make sure it will save your file with an “.html” extension you need to change “Save as type” setting in “Save
file” window to “All files” (Figure 1.1).
FIGURE 1.1: Saving a file in .html format.
To browse html file, open windows explorer and double click on the file. You must see your first web page
opened in your web browser (Figure 1.2).
6. S T A R T I N G W I T H H T M L

FIGURE 1.2: this is what you should see in your browser.
<HTML> and </HTML> are called tags. First one is a start tag and second is an end tag. Tags are
something like commands in programming languages. <HTML> tag tells the browser that this is the start of
the HTML and </HTML> marks its end. We normally do not put the text of web page directly inside
<HTML></HTML> tags (as you will see in next section) but this is enough for this simple example.
HTML Code Headers
Every html page must have a header. Header contains important information about the page. Different tags
are used for different sections of a header. Header of an html page is specified by <HEAD> and </HEAD>
tags.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
….
</HEAD>
</HTML>
We will enter header information between <HEAD> </HEAD> tags.
One of the most important parts of a header is title. Title is the small text that will appear in title bar of the
browser software. So html document will be as below.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Title of the page</TITLE>
7. S T A R T I N G W I T H H T M L
6666
</HEAD>
</HTML>
Web Page Body
Now our web page needs a body in which we will enter web page content. As you may guess we will use these
tags:
<BODY> </BODY>
Body will come right after header end tag. Enter the html code in notepad and save it under the file name
"page2.html". Then view html file in your browser by double clicking on it in windows explorer.
Example 1-2: page1-2.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My company web page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Welcome to our homepage. More text here.
</BODY>
</HTML>
FIGURE 1.2: The file page12.html being viewed in Internet Explorer. Look at the title bar of the window “My company web page”.
If you want you can change background color of your web page by extending <BODY> tag as below.
8. S T A R T I N G W I T H H T M L
7777
<BODY BGCOLOR="#00FF00"> </BODY>
This will change your background color to green. Format of color number is RRGGBB. You know that each
color is a combination of three main colors: Red, Green and Blue. In color format RR is value of red
component of the main color in hexadecimal format. GG is value of green component and BB is the value of
blue component. Two digit hexadecimal number can be anything between 00 to FF i.e. 0 to 255 in decimal
format. So if we write 00FF00 we mean (red=0, green=255, blue=0) so the result is a pure green color. You
can produce 16 million colors in this way but pay attention that not all of the browsers and computers will be
capable to show all these colors with significant difference.
Background Image
We can use a background picture for web pages instead of background color. <BODY> tag in HTML code
can be extended to include an image file name as the background of the page. Let’s assume we have an
"image1.gif" file and we want to use it as background. Image file must be in the same folder as our html file
otherwise browser will not be able to find it. (Or you can add the file path to the image file name).
Example 1-3: page1-3.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>My company web page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="image1.gif">
Welcome to our homepage. More text here.
</BODY>

Exercises
Important: Do not use any html authoring program like MS FrontPage,
Expression or Dreamweaver. You must work on the codes using a simple text editor.
Paid students need to submit their exercises inside e-learning virtual campus.
Corrected exercises will be available inside virtual campus.
If you have obtained the e-Book only, you can discuss your homework
questions in Learnem.com support forums (in registered e-book users section).
1. Write your web page code and use a background picture for it.
2. Write above code with a blue color instead of an image as its background.
3. List tags you learned in this lesson with a small description.
10. F O R M A T I N G T E X T

Formatting Text
He same as this book, text in web pages can be of different styles and can use different fonts with
different sizes. In this lesson we will learn about text formatting techniques.
Changing text style
Making a part of text to appear in bold letters, italic or underlined form is possible in Html by enclosing the
text in specific tags. Enclosing the text in <B>…</B> tags will make it bold, using <I>…</I> makes it
italic and finally <U>…</U> is used to underline a part of text.
<BODY>
This is very <B> important </B>
</BODY>
In example 2-1 you see how we can make a part of text bold, italic, both or any combination of mentioned
styles.
Example 2-1: page2-1.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 1, Lesson 2</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<B>This text is bold</B><br>
<I>While this one is Italic</I><br>
<U>and this text is underlined</U><br>
<B><I>Look at this, this is both bold and italic</I></B>
</BODY>
</HTML>
You may notice <BR> tags at the end of each line in above code. Pressing enter key in html code will make
the code to continue in a new line but in the resulting output page in a browser the text will not break into a
new line unless you use a <BR> tag in your Html code. Also pay attention that <BR> tag is one of few single
tags in html language which do not have a closing tag.
Lesson

FIGURE 2-1: Bold, Italic and underline text
Nested Tags
In previous section we saw a line of code with nested tags.
<B><I>This is both bold and italic</I></B>
When you use nested tags you must ensure that they do not overlap each other. They must be nested into
each other correctly.
Text with fixed width font
As you may know, regular fonts use different width for different alphabets. For example letter 'w' has a bigger
width than the letter 'i'. Sometimes we need a font with exactly the same width for all alphabets. If you want to
make a table of numbers and you want the columns of numbers to be exactly under each other in different
rows, you will need this kind of font. Another example is when you want to quote a computer code and you
again prefer a fixed width font. To enforce the browser to use a fixed width font with a text you can surround
the text with <TT>...</TT> tags. TT means Typewriter Text.
FIGURE 2-2: Fixed width and normal fonts.
12. F O R M A T I N G T E X T
11111111
Changing size and face of fonts
We can change face and size of fonts using <FONT>...</FONT> tags. FONT tag has a few parameters
which specify the font face, size, color etc.
Size of font
To change size of font in a part of text, enclose it in a <FONT> tag:
<FONT SIZE=n>...</font>
n is the size of the font. Size of the font must be a number between 1 and 7. If you insert some text without
determining its size a default size of 3 will be considered.
Example 2-2: page2-2.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 2, Lesson 2</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT SIZE=1>1This text is bold</FONT><br>
<FONT SIZE=2>2This text is bold</FONT><br>
<FONT SIZE=3>3This text is bold</FONT><br>
<FONT SIZE=4>4This text is bold</FONT><br>
<FONT SIZE=5>5This text is bold</FONT><br>
<FONT SIZE=6>6This text is bold</FONT><br>
<FONT SIZE=7>7This text is bold</FONT><br>
</BODY>
</HTML>
FIGURE 2-3: Text with different font sizes.
13. F O R M A T I N G T E X T
12121212
Face of fonts
We can specify different font types by specifying their short name in <FONT> tag. If your font name is more
than one word, you should enclose it in double quotes.
<FONT FACE="Font Name Here">...</FONT>
Example 2-3: page23.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 3, Lesson 2</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT FACE="ARIAL">This text is in ARIAL font</FONT><br>
<FONT FACE="IMPACT">This text is in IMPACT font</FONT><br>
</BODY>
</HTML>
You can test other fonts and see the difference. Just pay attention that web pages are viewed in different
operating systems, browsers and even mobile phones. Because of this, you normally need to choose your
fonts from a very limited list of popular fonts. It is also possible to use a list of alternative fonts in your
<FONT> tag. In this way, if your browser cannot find a specific font, it will proceed to the next mentioned
one.
<FONT Face="Arial,HELVATICA">...</FONT>
Changing font colors
In previous lesson you learned how to change background color of a web page. Here we will learn how to
change color of web page text. Look at this example:
Example 2-4: page24.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 4, Lesson 2</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<FONT COLOR="#FF0000">This text is in red color.</FONT><br>
<FONT COLOR="#00FF00">This text is in green color.</FONT><br>
<FONT COLOR="#0000FF">This text is in blue color.</FONT><br>
</BODY>
</HTML>
In above example different colors are used for each line of text. We described how color codes are used in
previous lesson. Try different combinations on above code and see the effect.
14. F O R M A T I N G T E X T

Combining Font attributes
You can guess that we can combine attributes in a <FONT> tag to produce different effects. As you know it
is also possible to nest tags. Below example is a completely valid HTML code.
<B><I><FONT SIZE="5" FACE="IMPACT" COLOR="#00FF00">
A line of text in green color, bold and italic styles and Impact face
</FONT></I></B>
Changing default font colors in a web page
Each browser has its own default settings for text, link, visited link and active link colors. Text color is
normally black. Links are usually blue etc. To change default colors, you can use below attributes of
<BODY> tag of the page.
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#00FF00"
ALINK="#FF0000">
...
</BODY>
BGCOLOR: Web page background color
TEXT: Text Color
LINK: Link Color
VLINK: Visited link
ALINK: Active link
Remembering tags and their attributes will be easier if you do enough practice with them and use them for a
while. Doing exercises is the minimum practice you can do. You can additionally create your own web pages
to do more practice.
Exercises
Important: Do not use any html authoring program like MS FrontPage,
Expression or Dreamweaver. You must work on the codes using a simple text editor.
Paid students need to submit their exercises inside e-learning virtual campus.
Corrected exercises will be available inside virtual campus.
If you have obtained the e-Book only, you can discuss your homework
questions in Learnem.com support forums (in registered e-book users section).
1. Write an html page which uses text in these forms in separate lines:
Italic and bold

Italic and underlined
Bold and underlined
2. Make a web page with a banner text "mylonglongname" on it. Each character
of the banner text will have a different size. First character starts with a font size of 1. Next
characters will have sizes 2 to 7. When you reach 8th character, use the size 7 again and then
decrease the size until you reach the last character (which will again have font size of 1).
3. Write an html page with 9 lines, each line in a different color. State color of each line in its text.

Paragraphs and Images
ext in web pages is normally organized in paragraphs. Web pages also contain photos and images. In
this lesson we will learn how to organize text in paragraphs and how to add images to the web page.
In previous lesson we used <BR> tag to break text into new lines. In this lesson we will see how we
can organize text in paragraphs.
Paragraphs
It is possible to divide text in a page into paragraphs. A paragraph starts on a new line with a single blank line
before it. Paragraph tag is <p> </p>. You are allowed to nest other tags inside paragraph tag. For example
font tag can be used inside paragraphs.
<p>First paragraph</p>
<p>Second paragraph</p>
In previous lesson we learned about <TT>…</TT> tag. There is yet another tag <PRE>…</PRE>
which works almost similar to the <TT>…</TT>. The difference is that the text inside <PRE>…</PRE>
tag does not need <BR> tags to break into new line. Lines inside <PRE>…</PRE> tag break the same as
normal text with enter key (new line).
Space between texts
Browser will not show more than one space between two words even if you have entered a hundred spaces
between them in html code. If you want to enter more than one blank character between two words you will
need to use a specific code for this purpose. " " without the quotes will appear as spaces in browser.
<BODY>
Here we insert 5 extra spaces.
</BODY>
Paragraph alignment
Paragraph tag has options to align the paragraph text to left, center or right of the paragraph. To specify
alignment for a paragraph an extra “align” parameter of paragraph tag will be used.

Indented Text
If you need a text to be indented from both sides of the web page you can use <BLOCKQUOTE> tag.

Images in your web page
In previous lesson you learned how to use an image as a background for a web page.
<BODY BACKGROUND="image.gif">
</BODY>
Here we want to learn how to add an image in a web page itself (not its background). <IMG> tag is used for
this purpose. This tag has a few parameters like width, height, border size, alignment, file name and etc. File
name parameter is compulsory while other parameters are optional. Look at this example:
Example 3-3: page3-3.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 3-3</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="image1.jpg">
<B>This is an image:</B><BR>
<IMG SRC="abanner.gif">
</BODY>
</HTML>
19. P A R A G R A P H S A N D I M A G E S
18181818
In this example I have used both a background image and an image between text. Also you may have noticed
that this tag is also a single tag that does not need an ending tag. If you want to show your image in a different
size than its real size, you can specify its size as below.
Example 3-4: page3-4.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 3-4</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BACKGROUND="image1.gif">
This is an image:<BR>
<IMG SRC="abanner.gif" WIDTH=234 HEIGHT=30>
</BODY>
</HTML>
FIGURE 3-2: Using images for background and as a part of web page itself
Alignment and border size for images
You can align image in your web page by enclosing it in a paragraph which is aligned to left, right or center.
Example 3-5: page3-5.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 3-5</TITLE>
</HEAD>

19191919
This is an image:<BR>
<P ALIGN="center"><IMG SRC="abanner.gif"></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
You can add a border to an image by adding a border parameter to <IMG> tag. See the results of this html
code.
Example 3-6: page3-6.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 3-6</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<P ALIGN="center"><IMG SRC="abanner1.gif" border=3></P>
</HTML>
FIGURE 3-3: Adding border to an image
Some of the options we use may not be supported on some browsers but things we cover in this course work
on "MS Internet Explorer" and “Firefox” which are currently the most popular web browsers.
Alternative text for images
Some web browsers just show text and do not support graphics. Though these browsers are rare nowadays
you might want to consider users which have these browsers. An example is “Lynx” which is used in
UNIX/Linux text environment.
21. P A R A G R A P H S A N D I M A G E S
20202020
You can enter a text as an alternative to each image in your web page. In this way images will be replaced by
their alternative texts in text browsers. This alternative text will be added in ALT parameter of the <IMG>
tag.
<IMG SRC="abanner.gif" ALT="Learning Online">
Path of image file
In our previous examples, image file must be located in the same directory where the html file is located. If
our image file resides in another directory, we must add a relational path or a complete URL to the image.
See examples below:
<IMG SRC="images/abanner.gif">
In above case, image is located in "images” directory below the directory where our html file resides.
<IMG SRC="../abanner.gif">
In this other example, image file is placed in the parent directory of the place where html file is located.
In next lesson we will learn about links, image links and more.

Links and Lists
ometimes it is needed to create texts or images which clicking on them will bring us to other web pages
on the same website or another websites. In this lesson we learn how to create such page links. In
addition we will see how we can create lists of items in our web pages.
Text links
Creating a text link is easy. We use <A> </A> tag to do this. <A> tag has a few important parameters. The
most important parameter is the HREF which contains the address of the link.
Example 4-1: page4-1.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 4-1</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com">Click here to visit Yahoo</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Above code creates a link to Yahoo website. As you see we have used HREF parameter to specify destination
web page. Text between <A> and </A> is the link text. By clicking on the link text, user will be navigated to
the destination page.
Image links
In previous section we used a text as a link. It is possible to use an image instead of text. To do this, you must
replace link text between <A> and </A> with an <IMG> tag which displays an image file.
<HTML>

HREF=".."> tag.
If you test above code in a browser you will notice a blue border around the picture (you should have a
logo.gif image file in the same directory as the html file). This blue border is added by default to for the image
links. You can remove the blue border by adding a “border=0” parameter to <A> tag.

Email links
If you have surfed web for a while you might have seen links that when you click on them your email program
(outlook, thunderbird …) will starts with a "compose new message" window. The email address on the link
will be put in receiver email address box. Look at example below to see how you can make a link to an email
address.
<BODY>
Click on below link to send an email to me <BR>
<A HREF="mailto:webmaster@learnem.comt">Email Me</A>
</BODY>
If you want, you can also specify a subject for the email. This example will show you how to do this:
Example 4-3: page4-3.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 4-2</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Click on below link to send us your comments. <BR>
<A HREF="mailto:webmaster@learnem.com?subject:comments about your
site">Email Me</A>
</BODY>
</HTML>
Lists
Sometimes you want to organize items related to a subject in list form in your web page. HTML provides you
with tags to do this. <UL></UL> tags are first choice of these tags.
Example 4-4: page4-4.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 4-3</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
This is a list of subjects covered in this lesson:
<UL>

<LI>Image Links
<LI>Email Links
<LI>List of Items
</UL>
</BODY>
</HTML>
25. L I N K S A N D L I S T S
24242424
FIGURE 4-2: Lists
Result page will display list items in separate lines started with a small bullet. You see that we have entered list
items started with a <LI> tag between <UL></UL> tags. <UL> tag is a part of list tags (Figure 4-2).
If you want the items to be identified by numbers, you should use <OL></OL> tags instead of
<UL></UL> tags.
<OL>
<LI>Text Links
<LI>Image Links
<LI>Email Links
<LI>List of Items
</OL>
Horizontal Separator Rule
Another useful html tag that you will sometimes use is <HR> tag. If you need to separate text in your web
page by a horizontal lines, you may use this tag.
<BODY>
First section
<HR>
Second section
</BODY>
26. L I N K S A N D L I S T S
25252525
Output of the above code is two lines of text separated by a horizontal rule. You can specify a few parameters
for horizontal rule. If you want to change width of rule you can use width parameter. Width in percent:
<HR WIDTH="50%">
Width in pixels:
<HR WIDTH="100">
You can also determine line size parameter to change line diameter.
<HR size=5>
It is obvious that you can mix parameters with each other. Horizontal lines created by <HR> tag have a
shade by default. You can force a solid line instead of a shaded line, by adding a NOSHADE parameter.
<HR SIZE=1 NOSHADE>
You can also determine a color for your line:
<HR color="#00FF00' NOSHADE>
Above line will not have a shade and it is a solid green line.
End Note
In this lesson you learned how to use text links, image links, email links, lists and horizontal separator. Until
now we have covered general HTML tags. In next lesson we will cover more. We will then start more
advanced subjects such as tables, frames and forms.

Tables (1)
Table is a matrix like structure which holds objects such as text, images, buttons and etc in its cells. In
most professional web pages they are used in web pages to place adjust text and image positions even
though you do not see table borders. Later you will see how it is possible to set the border size of
tables to 0 to hide them.
Drawing a table
To draw a table we use <TABLE> tag. <TABLE> tag needs to related tags for its rows and columns.
<TR></TR> tag is used to create a row in table. Each <TR></TR> tag nested in <TABLE>
</TABLE> tag will create a new row in the table. In addition one or more <TD></TD> tags are
used to create columns in each row. Following example produces a table with two rows.
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>First Row</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Second Row</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
If you browse this code in a browser, you will not see any table but two lines of text. In fact table is
there but you cannot see it.
<TABLE> tag will by default create a table with border size of 0. You must use a “border” parameter
to specify a border size for your table.
<TABLE BORDER=1>
<TR>
<TD>First Row</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Second Row</TD>
</TR>

Specifying table sizes
You can specify width for a table both in percents of page width and in pixels. This means if user resizes
browser window, browser will maintain a width of 50% of its window for the table.
Example 5-1: page5-1.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 5-1</TITLE>

<BODY>
<TABLE WIDTH=50% BORDER=1>

<TR>
<TD>Cell Row2 Col1</TD>
<TD>Cell Row2 Col2</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
FIGURE 5-1: a 2*2 table
30. T A B L E S ( 1 )
29292929
If you want you can determine table width in pixels. In this way width of the table will be fixed and
resizing the browser window will not have any effect on the table size.
<TABLE WIDTH=250 BORDER=1>
<TR>
<TD>Cell Row1 Col1</TD>
<TD>Cell Row1 Col2</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Cell Row2 Col1</TD>
<TD>Cell Row2 Col2</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
You can specify a height for your table too. Width and height of the table will be divided between cells
in rows and columns so if table width is 100 pixels and there are 2 columns then width of each cell will
be 50 pixels. Just pay attention that if you put a long text in a cell which is longer than the cell itself, cell
will be expanded to fit the text in it.
Text alignment in table cells
By default text entered in a cell will appear at the left side of the cell. You can add either of below
options to <TD> tag to specify horizontal alignment of text inside the cell.
<TD ALIGN=CENTER> or
<TD ALIGN=RIGHT> or
<TD ALIGN=LEFT> (this option is the default if you do not specify)
You can also determine vertical alignment of text in a cell by adding VALIGN option to <TD> tag.
There are three values for VALIGN option : TOP, BOTTOM and MIDDLE. MIDDLE is default
value if you do not use this parameter.

Images in table cells
As we mentioned earlier, tables are also used to hold images in their places. You can insert an image in a
table cell by enclosing <IMG> tag between <TD></TD> tags of a certain cell.

rows and columns as bold.
2. Create a 2*2 table. Insert an image file (small sized) in each cell of table. Adjust cell alignment of
each cell so that images gather at the center of the table sticking to each other. Adjust table width
to 50% of web page width. Set the height of the table to 200.

Tables (2)
s we saw in previous lesson, tables are important in web design because we need them for
holding text, pictures, buttons, etc. in their places in addition to creating normal tables. In this
lesson we will cover more options about table cells (cell padding, cell spacing …) and finally we
will learn how to link different parts of a single image to different web addresses.
Cell Width (Column Width)
In previous lesson we learned how we can determine width and height of a table.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Table: Column widths not specified</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=100 BORDER=3>

<TD>TOP RIGHT</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>BOTTOM LEFT</TD>
<TD>BOTTOM RIGHT</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
In above table we have not determined sizes for two cells in first row. However you can determine
width of each column in your table by specifying width of cells in first row. Just be careful to specify
correct sizes. For example if your table width is 200 pixels sum of cell widths in a row must be exactly
200 otherwise each browser will render the page differently because of the wrong setting.

FIGURE 6-2: First column 35% wide, second column 65% wide
When you determine sizes of first row cells you do not need to determine widths for second row cells
etc.
If you want a cell to be empty, you cannot omit definition for that cell or just leave its content empty.
Insert cell definition (using <TD> tag), and enter a between <TD></TD> tags. As we told in
earlier lessons this means a space character. You must enter at least a single space in this form if you
need an empty cell, otherwise area of the cell will not appear like an empty cell. Browsers will not render
the cell correctly.

FIGURE 6-3: Empty cells
In above example we have two empty cells but because we have specified both table size and column
sizes, table will not lose its shape and first column will be 140 pixels wide and the second column will be
260 pixels wide. If we remove sizes, we cannot guarantee how it will be displayed on different browsers
and screen modes. We urge you to determine table sizes in every table you create. If you want your
tables resize automatically to fit the browser window, you need to use percent sizes but if you want fixed
width tables, use pixel sizes for your tables. Also if you want the size of a cell to be exactly the same as a
picture (which is put inside it) you need to use pixel size.
Cell padding
You can specify two other important size parameters for a table. Cell padding is the space between cell
borders and table contents such as text, image etc.

FIGURE 6-4: Cell Padding
Default value for this option is 1. It means the contents of a cell will have a distance of one pixel with
borders. If you don't want any space between objects inside the cells and its borders you can determine a
value of 0 for this option. You can also increase the padding size. In above example we have set a
padding of 20 pixels to show you the effect. We have added a few arrows to the picture to show the
padding distance.

Cell spacing
Cell spacing parameter determines the space between inner (cells) and outer parts (outer border) of a
table. In fact a table is constructed form two borders. A outer border area and a cell border area. There
is a space between cell area and outer border. We call this "cell spacing". If you increase this value you
will have a thick border. Default value for this property is 2. If you specify 0 for it, you will have a very
thin border.

You can also mix cell spacing and cell padding options to make specific tables you need.
Tables and images
Sometimes you need an image which each section of it links to a different website address. When user
clicks on different parts of the picture they will be navigated to different pages. In previous lessons you
learned how to use an image as a link.
In this special case you can cut your picture into as many parts as you need and insert them in a table
that holds image parts beside each other. Then link each image part to a different page. You will also
need to set both cell spacing and cell padding to a value of 0 to prevent the table from appearing
between image parts. In this way users will see a single image but when they click on different parts of
the image they will go to different addresses.
There is another method using image maps to accomplish above purpose but we do not discuss it in this
lesson.
Working with graphic editing programs
As a web designer you need a graphics editor program. There are many professional programs available in the
market.
Adobe Photoshop ™ is a very professional and powerful program but it is expensive. If you are in graphics
design job, then buying this software is a good idea. Otherwise you can use free but powerful software called
“Paint.NET”. You can download Paint.NET from its website at http://www.getpaint.net.
Graphics editor programs will enable you to cut pictures into parts, add effects to your graphics, decrease
graphics size etc. In exercises of this lesson you need such software to cut a picture into 4 parts. As a web
designer you really need to have expertise in at least one graphics editor software.
Exercises
Important: Do not use any html authoring program like MS FrontPage,
Expression or Dreamweaver. You must work on the codes using a simple text editor.
Paid students need to submit their exercises inside e-learning virtual campus.
Corrected exercises will be available inside virtual campus.
If you have obtained the e-Book only, you can discuss your homework
questions in Learnem.com support forums (in registered e-book users section).
1. In previous lesson we asked you to create a 2*2 table with images inside each cell that gather
at the center of the table. As we did not know how to omit cell padding and cell spacing, image
parts had a little space between them.
40. T A B L E S ( 2 )

Rewrite that example in a way that picture parts stick to each other so that the user can not
realize they are separate images. Cut a single image into four parts with your desired graphics
editing program. Then use these 4 images for this exercise.
If you want to send your exercise to your tutor send pictures with it (preferably all of them in a
zip file). Also mention which program you are using for editing images.
2. Rewrite above example so that each part of image links us to a different page in your website.
Use <A HREF=""></A> inside <TD></TD> tags.

Tables (3)
ells, rows and table itself can be painted with colors. In addition each cell or the whole table can have
images as their background.
Table background color
Newer browser software (IE, Netscape and Firefox) support background colors for tables. It is possible
to specify background color for a table inside <TABLE> tag. Example 7-1 shows how we can specify a
color for an entire table (figure 7-1).

It is possible however to specify different colors for each row or even each cell of the table. If you want
to specify a color for an entire row, you can use BGCOLOR option inside <TR> tag. In example 7-2
we have specified a different color for each row.

FIGURE 7-2: example7-2 view
As we mentioned earlier, it is also possible to specify a color for individual cells by using BGCOLOR
option in <TD> </TD> cell tags. You can of course mix all above options to create a specific table
design. In example 7-3 we change color of the first row to "#336699". We also change color of two cells
in second row to "#66CCFF" and "#CCFFFF" respectively.

Column Span
Sometimes you need to join two cells in a row to each other. For example in a 2*3 table we may want to
join two first cells with each other to create something like Figure 7-4. COLSPAN=2 in <TD> tag
means this specific column (cell) will span to two cells instead of one.
FIGURE 7-4: A table with two first cells joined

FIGURE 7-5: joining two columns using colspan
If you have 3 cells in each row by default and you extend a cells using COLSPAN=2 to two cells you
should have two <TD> tags in that row instead of 3. In above figure 7-5, for the first row we have two
<TD> tags and for second row we have 3 of them. Also if you define a width of 100 for a cell which
has a COLSPAN=2, the resulting joined cell will have a width of 200.
Row Span
This time we want to join two cells in a column (from different rows) to each other. This is very similar
to previous section with the difference that we now want to join cells from different rows rather than
cells in different columns. We use ROWSPAN instead of COLSPAN to do this.

FIGURE 7-7: joining two rows using rowspan
Again when you have joined two cells using the option ROWSPAN=2 and your table has a total of 2
rows, first <TR> which shows the first row will contain 3 cells or <TD> tags but second row will have
only 2 cells (because the first cell of second row has been joined to a cell in first row and actually has
become a part of first row). Look carefully at example 7-5 and try to understand how ROWSPAN
works. Again you may mix different tags to create your custom designed tables.
Nested Tables
In HTML (and also in Word processors) it is possible to nest tables in each other. If you are going to
design complicated web pages you will do this most of the time. For example let’s assume you need a
table with a border size of 3 in a specific part of a web page. To fix the position of that table in your
47. T A B L E S ( 3 )
46464646
desired place you can use a table with border size of 0 (hidden) which is just supposed to help us to
position the other table. Nested table code is almost straightforward.
Example 7-6: page7-6.html
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Example 7-6</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE border=0 width=500>
<TR>
<TD width="25%"> </TD>
<TD width="25%"> </TD>

<TABLE border="2" width="100%">

<TD width="50%">JScript</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
<TD width="25%"> </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>
In this example we have a 1*4 table. We want to hold our main table inside this table in its third column
so that our main table will be shown in right side of the center of the screen. Main table has a border
size of 1 while first table is hidden. In below figure you can see both the hidden table and the main table.
You can see the actual web page in figure 7-9.

You have learned basics of creating tables in 3 recent lessons. Tags related to html tables are not very
difficult to learn but creating a page with a lot of nested and complicated tables might become difficult.
You need to work for some time to be able to use tables effectively. In next lesson we will start studying
on Frames. Until then, you can use your free time to work on tables.

2. Rewrite above example so that first row cells have a specific color and each cell in second row
has a separate color.
3. Create a table with 3 columns and 1 row. Now nest a 2*2 table in center of the screen using
previous table so that first table is invisible but second one has a border size of 3.
