Introduction
Chapter 3 covered many techniques
for solving user interface problems. This chapter focuses
specifically on ways to use HTML tables to solve a number of
presentation-related problems.
The chapter starts by showing you some clever ways of using tables
for simple histogram-style bar charts. The techniques in these
recipes can liven data reporting web pages without relying on complex
graphics generation.
A number of recipes discuss problems and solutions applicable to
displaying tabular data in a grid. The recipes will show you how to
alternate row colors in tables for improved readability, sort the
displayed by clicking on a table header, and separate rows of data
onto separate pages. You will find a recipe that combines all of
these features using an easy-to-use open source tag library.
