Displaying Multiple Columns
| [Previous] [Main] [Next] |
|
| |
| A transparent table can be used to display text in multiple columns. Creating such a table is trivial using html++, but could be quite cumbersome if manually coding the HTML output.
| |
|
| |
| The technique uses htmlTable for the table and htmlTableCell for the text columns. htmlTableRow is also used, but since we're interested in producing a columnar display, the table will have only one row.
