Blank HTML Files

Here are two blank HTML files for you. These files specify the doctype and the namespace for you. You may use these instead to begin your HTML documents. To use them right-click and save them as files. Clicking on the link will simply show you a blank page.

Table Example

Here is a single html file with 4 different tables in it. These tables were specifically designed to be used as a guide for using tables for navigation purposes and site layout. Please do not just cut and paste the html provided to use in your pages. Do try to change the look, alignment, etc. of the tables instead of using them blindly.
