Ch0cu3r Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 what is the significance of "alt"? alt is the name of the CSS class definition. Check your CSS stylesheet to see what styles are applied for that class.

spence911 Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 alt is the name of the CSS class definition. Check your CSS stylesheet to see what styles are applied for that class. This is a very simple HTML table. There is no CSS stylesheet. <table cell spacing = "0" border = "5" style = "width: 20 em; border: 1px solid #567;"> <tr> <th>Sequence #</th> <th>Value</th> </tr> <tr> <td>F<sub>0</sub></td> <td>0</td> </tr> <tr class = "alt"> <td>F<sub>1</sub></td> <td>1</td> </tr> </table> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/283748-what-does-mean-when-creating-an-html-table/#findComment-1457655 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 you need to have defined the "alt" class in the styles eg <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> table { border-collapse: collapse; } tr { background-color: #CCCCCC; } tr.alt { background-color: #C0FFC0; } </style> </head> <body> <table border="1" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0"> <?php $c = 'A'; for ($row=0; $row<6; $row++) { $cls = $row%2 ? '' : "class='alt'"; echo "<tr $cls>"; for ($col=0; $col<3; $col++, $c++) { echo "<td>$c</td>"; } echo "</tr>\n"; } ?> </table> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/283748-what-does-mean-when-creating-an-html-table/#findComment-1457657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
