HTML layout
On the Internet, you can see formatted columns like newspapers everywhere.
Most websites can use the <div> or <table> elements to create multiple columns. CSS is used to position elements or create backgrounds and colorful looks for pages.
Use <div> elements to layout
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>php中文网(php.cn)</title> </head> <body> <div id="container" style="width:500px"> <div id="header" style="background-color:#00FFFF;"> <h1 style="margin-bottom:0;">标题</h1></div> <div id="menu" style="background-color:#FFD700;height:200px;width:100px;float:left;"> <b>菜单</b><br> HTML<br> CSS<br> </div> <div id="content" style="background-color:#00FF00;height:200px;width:400px;float:left;"> 内容</div> <div id="footer" style="background-color:#FF00FF;clear:both;text-align:center;"> 版权 © php.cn</div> </div> </body> </html>
Use tables for layout
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>php中文网(php.cn)</title> </head> <body> <table width="500" border="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color:#FFA500;"> <h1>标题</h1> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#FFD700;width:100px;"> <b>菜单</b><br> HTML<br> CSS<br> </td> <td style="background-color:#eeeeee;height:200px;width:400px;"> 内容</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-color:#FFA500;text-align:center;"> 版权 © php.cn</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
HTML Layout - Helpful Tips
Tip: The biggest advantage of using CSS is that if the CSS code is stored in an external style sheet, the site will be easier to maintain. By editing a single file, you can change the layout of all pages. To learn more about CSS, visit our CSS tutorials.
