multiple table layout

Curiosity mainly. Consider doing a massive table layout like doing a color chart
where you have 16 columns and 2 rows per table. Laid out horizontally.
A new table under the previous one. In row one you have the color # then row 2
shows the actual color. How would you do this in say css without having to copy
and paste table after table coding?

Is there some reason you refuse to post a link to your work-in-progress, Mr.
Waste?

If I were doing it, I would use one table, and I would do it server side,
looping through the values.

<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Hex</th><th>Color</th>
</tr>
<thead>
<tbody>
------- server side code here --------
for each hex in array
color = hex
--------------------------------------
<tr>
<td>color</td><td style="background-color:color">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
--------------------------------------
next
--------------------------------------
</tbody>
</table>

The array for the hex colors could probably be done with a formula, but
I'm not going that far.

Why don't you let your sock do the talking, Bullis?

Heard it all before, St00pid, *every* time I out one of your socks.

No need, St00pid, you did it for me.

Strike a nerve, Mr. Bullis? You sure are upset that "time waster" can't put
up a site. Why is that?

That seems to be eating at you, St00pid. Heater not working too well in the
old Dodge van? Trailer a little drafty this time of year? Got a job yet,
laws00t boi?

Interesting. I wasn't aware that you could pass variables through a css
attribute like that.

I can't. You missed the bit where Adrienne said "server side". The code she
posted looks like pseudo-code for a server side script. It's up to you to
flesh it out into something like PHP.

Cheers
Richard.

Why *wouldn't* you be able to use a server-side script to generate CSS?

That's what I was wondering about. I didn't see how it was possible to do it
locally.
Most of the color chart sites I've seen all just seem to use tables.

<sigh/> And that is just what Adriennes server side process would produce.
An HTML table.

Bullis, it's ALWAYS obvious when it's you. It's been explained to you HOW
it's obvious MANY times before, and yet TO THIS VERY DAY you have no clue.
That speaks volumes.

And yet, he's more successful than you will ever, ever be.
