Task 1: Identify the peripherals of a computer, components in a CPU and its functions.
Draw the block diagram of the CPU along with the configuration of each peripheral and
submit to your instructor.
PROCEDURE:
PERIPHERALS OF A COMPUTER:
"Computer" is a collection of devices that function as a unit. The most basic collection includes
a Computer CPU, a Monitor, a Keyboard, and a Mouse. The Computer CPU is normally a
rectangular box that sits on your desktop (called a "Desktop- Case") or next to your knee under
the desk (called a "Tower Case"). The computer's CPU is actually a small electronic device
inside the case but the term is often used to refer to the whole collection of electronics inside the
box.
Computer Monitor
The Computer Monitor is the computer user's window into the workings of the computer. It
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
consists of a television picture tube that had been modified to accept the type of video signal
created by the computer's electronics. Conventional televisions can be used as computer
monitors if a translation device is used to connect them. The picture quality leaves something to
be desired.
Keyboard
The Keyboard is the primary input device used to communicate with the computer. A computer
keyboard closely resembles a conventional typewriter keyboard with the addition of numerous
keys that are used specifically for computing functions
Mouse
Named for the resemblance of the wire coming out of it and a mouse's tail, the mouse was
introduced to computing in the early 1980's when Macintosh created its graphical user interface
(GUI). The mouse is another input device used to point at objects on the computer monitor and
select them. Using the mouse and keyboard in combination allows the computer user substantial
latitude in how to accomplish a wide variety of tasks.
What is a Motherboard?
The motherboard is the main circuit board inside your PC. Every component at some point communicates
through the motherboard, either by directly plugging into it or by communicating through one of the
motherboards ports. The motherboard is one big communication highway. Its purpose inside your PC is to
provide a platform for all the other components and peripherals to talk to each other.
Types of Motherboards
The type of motherboards depends on the CPU it was designed for. You can therefore categories motherboards
by which socket type they have. e.g. Socket A, Socket 478 etc. The Type of motherboard you buy is very
important, as it will need to house your CPU, and they are not interchangeable. When buying a motherboard, it
will always tell you what socket type it has.
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
The major difference between motherboards that support the same CPU is the model of the chipset (more on the
chipset later). Different chipsets offer different performance and different features in terms of memory support,
AGP port speed, Multiplier numbers, Bus speeds and much more.
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Speed of a Motherboard
A motherboard chipset controls all the data that flows through the data channels (buses) of the motherboard.
The primary function of the motherboard chipset is to direct this data to the correct areas of the motherboard,
and therefore the correct components.
Components of a Motherboard:
The motherboard contains many connections for all type of components. Motherboards contain expansion slots
such as the ISA, PCI, AGP and DIMM sockets. It also contains external connections for your onboard sound
card, USB ports, Serial and Parallel ports, PS/2 ports for your keyboard and mouse as well as network and
Firewire connections.
So the motherboard has a massive part to play in the workings of your PC. Components that you buy all rely on
the motherboard to have the correct connections are available and working. Its best to buy a decent motherboard
especially if you plan on buying extra's in the future.
The hard disk drive is the primary storage location where data is permanently stored. Below is an illustration of
what the inside of the hard disk drive may look like. The four main components of a hard disk drive are the
platters, head arm, chassis, and the head actuator.
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
The majority of computer hard disk drives is permanently stored in an internal drive bay at the front of
the computer and is connected with one ATA / SCSI cable and power cable.
RAM:
It is referred as non-volatile memory, because ROM remains its contents even when the computer is
turned-off.
Most PC’s contains small amount of ROM that stores critical programs such as program that boots the
computers.
ROM’s are used in calculation, peripheral devices such as laser-printer whose fonts are often stored in
ROM’s.
Graphics card:
Display card is used to display the data to the user. It is indirectly linked with the computer
memory and is built in the mother board. Two types of display cards are available:
CMOS Battery:
It provides voltage to the BIOS
(Basic Input and Output System) and system clock.
Heat Sink:
The purpose of heat sink is to cool
processor.

Task 2 Every student should disassemble and assemble the PC back to working condition.
Lab instructors should verify the work and follow it up with a Viva. Also students need to
go through the video which shows the process of assembling a PC. A video would be given
as part of the course content.
PROCEDURE:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Unpack the computer case. Discard its plastic wrap. Put on an antistatic wrist
strap, and attach it to ground (for example, to the screw on a typical light-
switch plate).
Unscrew the big screws on the back of the case. Pull on the side latch to open
the case. Take the power cord and the brown box out of the case. Open the
brown box to find a bag of screws and brass standoffs:
-
Take five brass standoffs out of the bag.
Look for four brass standoffs already installed at the back of the case:
Two of them are in line at the bottom; screw another into the third hole at the
bottom. Two more are in line at the middle; screw another into the third hole
at that height. Screw three more into the first, fourth, and sixth holes on the
top, roughly (not exactly) lined up with the three standoffs on the bottom and
the three standoffs in the middle:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Open the motherboard box and find a replacement face plate. Tap the
replacement face plate into the case, with two holes at the top and three holes
at the bottom. The face plate has three tabs bent into the case; bend them
further so that they are at 90 degrees to the plate.
Take the motherboard out of its box, and lay it on a non-metallic flat surface, such as a wooden table
Unpack the DIMM. Push apart the two white DIMM holders on the ends of
the blue DIMM slot on the motherboard:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Take the CPU out of its plastic container and off of the black foam, revealing
an array of gold pins:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Put the CPU into the CPU socket, with the CPU triangle on top of the triangle
marked on the motherboard; opposite corner from the lever. When the CPU is
aligned properly with the socket, it will drop gently into the socket:
Take the plastic cover off the heat sink. Put the heat sink on top of the CPU,
with the gray square face down on top of the CPU, and with the big black clip
toward the center of the motherboard:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Make sure that the big black clip is pointing up, and push the silver hook
onto the black tab below it:
Do the same with the silver hook on the other side. Make sure that both
hooks are firmly below their tabs. Rotate the big black clip---it will push back
at you somewhat---and hook it into place:
Attach the dangling plug into the three pins at the edge of the motherboard
labelled``CPU fan.'' Orient the plug so that its lips hook around the pins:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Lay the case flat on its side. Put the motherboard gently into the case.
Slide the motherboard towards the edge of the case; it will fit snugly into the
face plate (under the three tabs that you bent earlier) and the brass standoffs
will be visible through the holes. Screw nine small Phillips-head screws into
the nine holes. Don't over tighten.
The case has several slots for expansion cards, each slot covered by a plate.
Unscrew the second plate from the top. Plug in, and screw in, the video card:
Plug in the Zalman fan. Plug the fan connector into the fan resistor:
Change the hard drive jumper from CS to Slave. Slide the hard drive into
the middle of the 3.5'' drive cage, slightly more than halfway, so that two of
its screw holes are visible. Screw the hard drive into the drive cage:
Wrap the fan cable around the fan so that it will end up coming out towards the back of the case:
Slide the drive cage back into the case, and hook it into place
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Slide two drive rails out of their holders on the bottom of the case. Screw
them onto the DVD-ROM drive:
Push the top side buttons on the case to release the top front of the case. Take
the front off, and pop the middle 5.25'' drive cover out.
(Why the middle position? The top position is bad for two reasons: first, it doesn't give heat from the DVD-ROM
drive any room to rise; second, the nice IDE cable won't reach from the hard drive to the top position. In retrospect,
the bottom position is even better heat-wise, and makes the cabling less of
a stretch, but my pictures assume the middle position.)
Slowly wiggle the corresponding metal plate inside the case back and
forth until it snaps off. Watch out for sharp edges.
Slide the DVD-ROM drive into the case from the front until it snaps into
place:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Slide the front of the case back on, around the DVD-ROM drive:
Plug the IDE cable into the DVD-ROM drive (master), the hard drive
(slave), and the motherboard:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Take the rubber band off the power cables from the power supply
Two cables are different: they have two rows of pins. Plug these cables into
the motherboard until they click:
Plug 4-pin power cables into the rear fan, the DVD-ROM, and the hard drive
Don't worry about the IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable. Don't worry about the
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
power-supply fan cable. (I didn't realize, when I was selecting components for
the standard workstation, that there were only two fan connectors on the
motherboard. The next version of the standard workstation will have either a
$2 3-pin-to-4-pin converter or a 4-pin case fan.)
Starting now, be very careful not to touch anything inside the case. Power will
be flowing into the computer in a moment; if you touch something inside the
case, you can electrocute yourself!
Take off the antistatic wrist strap. Turn the case's rear power switch off (0).
Plug power into the case. Turn the power switch on (1). Watch the CPU fan,
and press the front power button on the case. If the CPU fan doesn't start
spinning, turn power off immediately; you have a problem. If the computer
doesn't beep within thirty seconds, turn power off; you have a problem. If the
CPU fan starts spinning and the computer beeps, turn power off; you have a
working computer. Put the side of the case back on.

Task 3: Hardware Troubleshooting: Students have to be given a PC which does not boot
due to improper assembly or defective peripherals. They should identify the problem and
fix it to get the computer back to working condition. The work done should be verified by
the instructor and followed up with a Viva.
PROCEDURE:
a) Make sure your power is working. As silly as this might sound, don’t forget to check that
your power cord is plugged in properly. Check your wall socket and check the back of your
PC. Inspect your power cord to make sure you don’t have a defective cord. If your
computer has a “power on” light, make sure that it is on.
b) Try turning the power switch on and off on your computer a few times. This action just
might do the trick. Make sure your monitor is on. Just because you see nothing on the
screen, doesn’t mean that your computer is at fault. Check to make sure that your
monitor is powered up and connected to your computer.
c) Make sure your computer runs the power-on self test (POST). Look for any sort of output
on your screen and a single beep. If you get the single beep, skip the next step. If not, then
you may have some serious problems on your hands.
d) Go to the next step.
e) Unplug everything that plugs into your computer on the outside with the exception of the
power cord. Try booting it up while listening for any beeps. If you hear a single beep, then
something you unplugged must be causing a problem. If you hear no beep or multiple
beeps, then the problem is inside the computer. If you feel comfortable doing this, remove
your computer’s side cover and remove the memory, processor, video card, all PCI cards,
and drive cables. Now go ahead and plug everything back in and turn your computer back
on. Did you get the single beep? If you did get the single beep and your computer boots,
you have fixed your problem. If not, you have a serious problem on your hands. Bring your
computer to a qualified computer repair shop.
f) Make sure that your hard drive is working correctly. A dead hard drive will certainly stop
your computer in its tracks.
a) It is taking longer than usual for your device to get up and running.
b) The hard disc is silent for long periods after you try to open a file or folder.
c) Error messages appear much more frequently, particularly when you perform tasks such as
copying, pasting, and deleting files and folders.
d) Your files are missing or inaccessible.
e) The contents of files are jumbled or you get irregular output when printing files.
4. What Should I Do If My Hard Drive Is Having Problems?
a) Run a BIOS checking utility. Most new computers come with a utility in the BIOS that can
scan for errors. The term for this is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology
(SMART). Most modern hard drives come standard with this technology. Here are instructions
on how to use these types of utilities. Your system may be little different. So, always double-
check your documentation.
b) Look for something that says “Press F10 for setup” or “Setup F2”. The exact Keystroke
can vary from system to system.
c) Once you are in the system BIOS, you should see a section called “utilities”. Once again,
this can vary from system to system.
d) Run any tests that are offered for hard drives.
e) Use scanning software provided by your manufacturer. Most companies provide software that
you can use on your drive to check it. Highly recommended is Western Digital’s Data
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Lifeguard Diagnostics.
a) Use your “defibrillator” method. This might seem drastic, give it a try. First, unplug your
computer. Then, remove your computer’s cover, yell “CLEAR!” and give the face of your hard
drive a light tap with a screw driver or small hammer. Sometimes, this will give you a few
more minutes for you and your hard drive to be together.
a) Proper ventilation: Keep your device’s vents open and clear from debris. Properly cooling your
device’s internal components is paramount.
b) Physical impact: Don’t drop your device or subject it to severe shock. This can cause
damage to the drive’s platters and reading heads.
c) Voltage: Use a surge protector or UPS. This will prevent any voltage spikes or drops from
damaging your computer. A small increase or drop in system voltage can wreak havoc in
electronics.
d) RAID: Purchase and install drive mirroring hardware. Basically, this is a card you install in
your PC. You attach your current drive to this card and add another drive of equal or greater
capacity. The card then creates a mirror image of the main drive on the fly. If your main drive
dies, it switches over to the backup. This type of setup is highly recommended if the PC is
being used for important tasks such as business uses.

EXP. No. 4
PROCEDURE:
i. TSR's or Third party programs causing memory conflicts or other types of conflicts with
the program or programs attempting to be run.
ii. Data not being read properly from source. Running a program or game with a dirty CD
can cause the CD to be read improperly causing Illegal Operations. Floppy diskettes
which may contain errors can cause illegal operations.
iii. Installing a program or game on a hard disk drive that has errors or is highly fragmented.
iv. Corrupt files.
v. Memory managers.
vi. Bad, incorrect or not the latest video drivers.
vii. Computer Virus.
viii. Added hardware
ix. Error in program coding
x. Corruption or problem within Windows.
xi. Bad Memory, invalid bits or physically bad memory.
Solution:
TSR's or Third party programs running in the background are one of the more commonly found
reasons for Illegal Operations. If you are receiving an Illegal Operation when attempting to run
a game or program it is recommend that you temporarily remove or disable programs running
and TSR's running in the background, ensuring that these programs are not causing your issues.
If, after removing these programs, you run the program or game and no longer receive the Illegal
Operations, it is recommend that you reboot the computer and disable or End Task each program or
TSR one at a time to attempt to determine which program is causing the Illegal Operation.
Data not being read properly from source:
When running a program or game from a CD you receive an Illegal Operation, verify that the CD
is clean..
If you are running a game from a floppy diskette or other floppy media such as a zip diskette
or LS120, verify that the diskette does not have physical errors with it by running a scandisk or
a disk drive utility included with the drive.
Installing a program or game on a hard disk drive that has errors or is highly fragmented:
When installing a program or game onto a hard disk drive it is recommended if you receive
errors after installing that program or game that you attempt to uninstall that program or game,
run a scandisk, then a defrag, and finally attempt to install the program or game again.
If errors exist on the hard disk drive, they will cause the program or game to run improperly and
can cause Illegal Operations.
Corrupt files: Corrupt, bad or missing files can cause Illegal Operations. It is recommended
thatyou attempt to uninstall and or reinstall the program causing the Illegal Operation to verify
that any corrupt, bad or missing files are replaced or repaired during the reinstallation.
Memory managers:
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
If you are running a memory manager that is used to obtain more memory or handle the
computer memory in replace of Windows, it is recommended you temporarily disable or
uninstall this program to verify it is not the memory manager causing the Illegal Operations.
Bad, incorrect or not the latest video drivers may cause Illegal Operations when performing such
tasks as moving the mouse or dragging data from one source to another as high demands are
placed onto the video card. Attempt to decrease the video settings to 640 x 480, 256 colors to
verify if the program or game being run is having errors because of the current video settings.
If, after attempting to adjust the video settings, you still encounter the same issue, verify
the computer is utilizing the latest video card drivers by visiting our Video drivers section.
Computer Virus:
Because computer viruses are loaded into memory and can change the data of program files
when infecting a computer, ensure that a virus protection utility is installed on the computer and
that you have the latest Virus Definition.
Additional information about computer Viruses can be found at our Virus page.
Added hardware:
If added hardware has been recently installed onto the computer it is likely that either the
hardware is conflicting with other hardware devices on the computer or that the drivers used to
install that hardware is causing issues with other hardware or software installed on the computer.
If added hardware has recently been added to the computer, it is recommended that you
temporarily remove that added hardware and the software associated with it to ensure it is
not causing your issues.
If you are receiving Illegal Operations only when running a particular program, verify that the
program is compatible with the Version of Windows you are running and ensure no available
patches or software are available that may fix errors made during the development stages.
Because Windows controls the memory operations as well as the file structure and association, it
is possible for Windows or files associated with Windows to become corrupted, causing Illegal
Operations or other errors. It is recommended you reinstall Windows if you are experiencing
Illegal Operations in Windows or more than one program trying to be run on the computer.
It is possible that bad memory can cause Illegal Operations. If you have recently added memory
to the computer, it is recommended that it first be removed to verify that you are not
experiencing conflicts with the recently installed memory.

Solution: Below are steps for Microsoft Windows that should help speed up the computer or
determine why the computer is running slow.
1. If you have a hard disk drive that is 2GB or smaller, ensure that there is at least 200MB of
hard disk drive space free. If you have a hard drive larger than this size, verify that
there is at least 500MB of free hard disk space. This available space allows the computer
to have room for the swap file to increase in size as well as room for temporary files..
2. Run Scandisk or something equivalent to help ensure that there is nothing physically
wrong with the computer hard disk drive.
3. Run Defrag to help ensure that data is arranged in the best possible order.
4. Remove or disable any TSRs or programs that automatically start each time the computer
boots. Verify that the device manager has no conflicts, but if conflicts are present, resolve
them.
5. If you are using Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows 98 and do not plan on running any
MS-DOS programs from MS-DOS, click Start / Run / type command and press enter. In
the MS-DOS window type CD\ to get to C :\> then type "run autoexec.bat autoexec.ch"
and "ran config.sys config.ch". This will rename your autoexec.bat and config.sys and
help make sure memory is being optimized through Windows.
6. If you have Windows XP try deleting all files in the perfect directory. These are perfect
files and can lower system resources if loading programs no longer are being used. See
our perfect definition for additional information about perfect.
7. Try running through the basic troubleshooting steps for your operating system.
Make sure your computer and processor is not overheating, excessive heat can cause a
significant decrease in computer performance some processors will even lower the speed of the
processor automatically to help compensate for the heat related issues. Additional information
NOTE: An invalid page fault is caused when the operating system or a software program
attempts to store or call a segment or block of the computer's memory that does not exist.
Because of the invalid call, the program will generate an invalid page fault error message and
terminate the program or process to prevent additional issues.
Cause:
There are several possibilities that can cause an Invalid Page fault, the following are few of
those possibilities.
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
1. Incompatibility or issue with the software programs.
2. Issues with the computer memory.
Solution:
Disable or unload any TSRs or programs currently running before running the program
causing the GPF.
Delete all temporary files that may still be residing on the hard disk drive from currently
or previously running programs.
Run Scandisk / Defrag:
Attempt to run scandisk / defrag on the hard disk drive as it could be possible your hard disk
drive may have an issue causing the swap file or data files to become corrupt or invalid
Fatal exception error messages are generated when one of the following situations occur.
When a Fatal exception is encountered the error will be in the following format:
In the above example of the fatal exception the YZ represents the actual processor exception; this
can range from 00 to 0F. Each of these processor exceptions are explained under
extendedinformation.
After the processor exception is the enhanced instruction pointer to the code segment and the 32-
bit address. This is exactly where the error exception has occurred.
Cause:
Fatal exception errors are generally caused by programs' incompatibility, not written properly,
heat related issues or other hardware / software issues. Because of the wide range of possibilities,
we have created this document to help determine or resolve your issue.
Solution:
Disable or unload any TSRs or programs currently running before running the program
or attempting to recreate the error.

• Well known browsers natively support a variety of other formats in addition to HTML
such as JPEG,PNG,GIF image formats
Different web browsers available in the market are:
Silversmith
Mosaic
Netscape
Mozilla
Opera
Lynx
Safari
Bookmark:
Each web browser is built-in with the support of Internet Bookmarks which serve as a named anchor – primarily
to URLs. The primary Purpose of this book mark is to easily catalog and access web pages that the web browser
user has visited or plans to visit, without having to navigate the web to get there.
Pop-up Blockers:
Pop-ups are a form of online advertising on the WWW intended to attract the attention of the users. These pop
ups are hosted on the web sites which are frequently visited by the netizens.
These pop ups are activated when these web sites open a new web browser window and there by
displaying the advertisements.
Plug-ins:
A plug-in is a software component program that interacts with a main application to provide a
better integration of the media. The basic difference between application programs and plug-ins

PURPOSE: To know what search engines are and how to use the search engines.
THEORY:
Search engine:
A search engine can be defined as a web site with tools which help you to find information on
the internet
Function of a search engine:
You can find anything from a schedule of White house tours to instructions for removing stains
from clothes.
Limitations:
Search engines visit web sites only several weeks. Search engines cannot see information in
other data bases later on.
On the internet a search engine is a coordinated set of programs that includes: A spider (crawler
or bot) that goes to every page or representative pages on every web site that wants to be
searchable and reads it, using hypertext links on each page to discover and read site’s other
pages.
Pros:
• You can select the search terms
• You can use the same search terms with multiple search engines
• You can change search terms as much as you wish
• You will normally receive numerous links

HTML consisting of his/her photo, name, address and education details as a table and his/her
skill set as a list.
Go to start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Notepad (In windows operating systems)
Optionally, You may also use our HTML Tester for writing your codes and testing it online.
Start by creating a new folder at any place in your computer for storing html codes (preferably on desktop
for easy access). Rename it as ‘html’ for clarity. Keep all the codes you learn here to this folder for your
ready reference.
Make sure you save the files with either ‘.html’ or ‘.htm’ extension (in place of default ‘.txt’ for text files).
Both these extensions are one and the same; you may use whatever you like!

<html>
2 <head>
3 <title>My First Web Page</title>
4 </head>
5 <body>
Hello World!
6 </body>

Save the text file as ‘myfirstwebpage.html’ or ‘myfirstwebpage.htm’ in html folder. Remember to change
the extension as ‘.html’ or ‘.htm’ in place of default ‘.txt’ or your html code will not work! Now go to ‘html’
folder where you have just saved your web page and double click to open it.
Wow! You have just created your first web page. Congratulations…!
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
Web pages are made of a series of elements. Elements consist of start tag, end tag and some content in
between. In the example above, “<title>My First Web Page</title>” is an element. At this time,
the things may look a little difficult to you, but keep Reading on!
HTML Images
HTML Images are one of the most important and interesting part of world Wide Web. Images are used to
make web pages attractive and help to get the message across. Placing HTML image in web page is quite
easy.
We use <img> tag to place image in HTML document.
The ‘alt’ attribute in html images means the ‘alternate text’. Once you mouse hover to the image, it will
displayed as a small pop-up. It is recommended to always place ‘alt’ attribute along with html images.
Height and width attributes are optional, where you can decide the height and width of the image to be
displayed in web browser.
HTML Tables
Basic html tables are created by using <table>, <tr> (Table Row) and <td> (Table Cell) tags.
It may seem to be a little difficult at the beginning, but as you complete this part of tutorial
Information Technology Lab Manual(II CSE) Dept. of CSE
on html, it will be all simple. HTML tables are used for ‘Web Page Layout’ by many web
designers. <tr> and <td> tags are placed inside <table> tag. Let’s quickly make a simple
html table.
1
2 <tableborder="1">
3
<tr>
4 <td> Row 1 Col 1 </td>
5 <td> Row 1 Col 2 </td>
6 </tr>
7
8 <tr>
<td> Row 2 Col 1 </td>
9 <td> Row 2 Col 2 </td>
10 </tr>
11
12 </table>
13
As you can see, there are two rows in the table, each containing two cells. Contents are
placed in cells (<td> tags). We have used border attribute to define the thickness of the
table border. If you don’t want a border, specify it as zero. We will now look at some other
common attributes like ‘cellspacing‘, ‘cellpadding‘ and ‘width‘ of html tables.
Cell Spacing, Cell Padding & Width
With cellpadding, cellspacing and width attributes, we can adjust the space in and around
the html tables. Cell-spacing is the distance between cells and cell-padding is distance
between cell borders and the content within it. Width of the html table can be specified
either in pixels or percentages. While specifying the width in pixels ensures exact width,
percentage allows the table to resize itself depending on the web content and page width.
Additionally, you may also define the width of cells. Let’s test with three examples below:
Example 1
1
2 <tablecellpadding="0"cellspacing="10"border="1">
<tr>
3 <td> Row 1 Col 1 </td>
4 <td> Row 1 Col 2 </td>

HTML Table Headers
Table headers are defined with <th>&</th> tag. You can place these tags inside <tr> tags,
just like <td> tags. Most browsers display the headers bold and centered.
