Netscape Navigator supports an additional META tag for specifying
the character set and content-type for the document. An example:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-2022-JP>
charset indicates the character encoding
scheme employed in the document. Supported values are
us-ascii iso-8859-1 iso-8859-2 x-mac-roman
x-mac-ce iso-2022-jp iso-2022-kr x-sjis
x-euc-jp euc-kr gb2312 gb_2312-80
x-euc-tw x-cns11643-1 x-cns11643-2 big5
Of course, these only work if you have the appropriate fonts installed on
your system. In addition, if the document requests a 2-byte character set
(such as the Japanese, Korean or Chinese sets), the system must support
two byte codes and two byte input methods (e.g. keyboards!).
TABLE Element -- Table alignment Page 210
The Netscape Navigator 2.0 browser also supports an ALIGN attribute
to the TABLE element. This can take two possible values, "left" and "right".
ALIGN="left" causes the table to float to the left-hand side of the page,
and allows text to flow around the table, to the right.
ALIGN="right" causes the table to float to the right-hand side of the page,
and allows text to flow around the table, to the left.
In this context, Netscape also supports HSPACE and
VSPACE attributes
to the TABLE element, that specify, in pixels, the horiziontal (HSPACE)
and vertical (VSPACE) spacing to be left around the table. Note,
however, that for tables aligned to the right hand page, large values of
HSPACE will push the table past the right margin of the display.
TABLE Element -- Use of TD and TH, Page 219-221
As noted in the book, the end tags </TD> and </TH> are
optional. However -- it is always safest to include them. In
particular, if you have a TABLE within a TABLE, you must use
TH and TD end tags, as otherwise the table parser gets very confused,
and will mess up table layout. Thanks to Daniel Paluska for pointing
this out.
