HTML04: Tables

the tag for define a table in a page is <table>. A table consist of row and columns. As you may know, row is the horizontal line of records, and columns are the vertical ones. Each row has contains column cells. In a table first we must create a table, and inside these table we create column cells.

To define row in a table<tr> and to specify the data in each row <td> tag is ised. Also <th> is used to heading of the column

for example:

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Fruits</th>
        <th>Quantity</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
         <td>Apples</td>
         <td>3 box</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Orange</td>
        <td>2 box</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Grapes</td>
        <td>4 box</td>
    </tr>
</table>


this will produce following table:

Fruits Quantity
Apples3 box
Orange2 box
Grapes4 box

The output don't have border. To draw border include border attribute <table border = "1">, all the borders in table will be displayed

Fruits Quantity
Apples3 box
Orange2 box
Grapes4 box

To merge cell of rows of same column, use rowspan attribute. the value given to the rowspan is number of cells to merge.

<table border = "1">
  <tr><td>Apples</td><td>3 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td rowspan="2">Orange</td><td>2 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td>4 box</td></tr>
</table>
Apples3 box
Orange2 box
4 box

To merge cells of column is same row. use colspan attribute. Example below merges  2 cell in same row.

<table border = "1">
  <tr><td>Apples</td><td>3 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan = "2">Orange</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Grapes</td><td>4 box</td></tr>
</table>
Apples3 box
Orange
Grapes4 box

Adding a caption to table, a <caption> tag is used to give a short description about the table.
<table border = "1">
  <caption>Fruit stock</caption>
  <tr><td>Apples</td><td>3 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td rowspan="2">Orange</td><td>2 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td>4 box</td></tr>
</table>
Fruit stock
Apples3 box
Orange
Grapes4 box

Drawing Simple Pie Chart

Image
To draw pie chart with 5 sectors. The program calculates the total of all the input given by user and find the angle in degrees to draw each sectors. When the program first loads, chart based on default values is painted by the program. User can edit the values in the text field and presses draw button to redraw the chart. Each time the draw button is pressed, new set of angle is calculated and repainted. I have attached the the sources for this program. It is simple and needs upgrades. Pie.java This class executed the program and initializes the components JTextField and JPanel to draw the chart. package coolApp.graphics; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class Pie { JTextField a,b,c,d,e; JButton btnDraw; double total; JPanel contentPane; Pie(){ JFrame frame = new JFrame("Pie - CoolApps"); frame.setSize(500,500); contentPane = new JPanel(); contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); frame

VB.net connecting to SQL Server

Connecting to SQL server 2014 from VB.Net 2017, read values from the database and display the data in windows form. Before begin to write this program, first we need to import SqlClient class. Imports System.Data.SqlClient Step 1 Create a sql connection object. This is to make connection to object. Dim conn As New SqlConnection() Step 2 Set the connection string to the sqlconnection object: conn.ConnectionString = connStr Road block The variable connStr is a connection string. Connection object need connection string to make connection to database. It has information like who providing the database, the name of the database and some security information. Dim connStr As String = "Data Source = ServerInstanceName;Initial Catalog=testDB;Integrated Security=True" Let's break down the connection string into the three main components. Dim provider As String = "ServerInstanceName;" Dim database As String = "Initial Catalog=testDB;" Dim

VB.net

a quick and convenient way to build a window based application. basically there is two main components in VB, the design view where we place the controls on a window form. then we have the code view where we write implementation for each controls on the form. Typically the control implementation or procedures are executed when certain events happens to the controls. Events like mouse click, or value change on text box, form load, form close and so on. After working with programming language like C, C++ and Java, getting use to VB is a bit challenging. its because first of all, VB don't use curly bracket to specify code blocks, and the statements don't end with semicolon. variable declaration for example is written as dim age As Integer in C, C++ and Java it written int age; in VB, variable declaration start with dim keyword, it means dimension and the functions are written as Function addNumber(ByVal num1 As Integer, ByVal num2 As Integer) As Integer addNumber
