Structuring Your Page Exercise

In this exercise we will be adding page structure. On a real page most of the text would be in paragraph elements with a list or two and possibly a data table. In this exercise we will be using the different ways of structuring your page.

Begin with Headers

While a live page would have design elements such as mastheads, logos, and menus our exercise page will not be using design elements, sticking with the basics.

Lists as Menus

Most standards-based web design uses an unordered list as the markup for navigational elements since semantically your site navigation is basically a list of pages within your site.

Tables

Should be limited to tabular data such as event information or a price list.
