Hi everybody, what a nice forum. I have a question and I hope that someone can point me to the right direction. I want to build a product review website for a niche product. I want the page to be like one of the top 10 review sites like this one: http://vocabulary-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

The product I want to offer is completely different from this one, it is just an example. Of particular interest to me is the comparison table that they have. Is this a regular html table or something else if yes, what is the tag to come up with the table head slanted.

I looked at their source code but it looks like that table is from JavaScript. Please take a look at that page and advise me how I can come up with a simple closely identical page.

NB: my background is that I have two websites that I have built by the host provided site builders, I know basic html.

Thank you,

Those tables aren't being generated with Javascript, so I'm not sure where you got that idea.

That site uses a technique known as nesting tables, which I don't think I recommend. Although the use of tables in this case is proper, since it represents data, which is what tables are for, the way the table is nested inside of other tables for layout is improper, as it is not nearly as efficient or elegant as putting them inside of divs and using CSS for layout.

I suggest you take some tutorials here:

and here:
http://www.w3schools.com/Css/default.asp
to sharpen up your HTML and CSS

The table is just a plain HTML table (Although it has been spruced up a bit - the core of it is just a regular old HTML table).
The way they did the slanted headers at the top of the table is with an image and an image map.
A good way to see how someone coded something (HTML and CSS wise anyway) is to download "firebug" for firefox. You can hover over parts of a webpage and see the code for that part. It is really useful!
