My Web Development Internship at Cudose: Learning HTML Tables & URL Paths

My Internship Journey at Cudose Creative – Day 3

Learning HTML Tables & Understanding URLs

Hey everyone 👋

Welcome back to my internship diary! Today at Cudose Creative Agency, our web development session focused on two core concepts in HTML: Tables and the difference between Absolute and Relative Paths in URLs.

Let me walk you through what I learned. This post is especially useful if you're just getting started with web development or refreshing your HTML knowledge.

HTML Tables: Structuring Data with Elegance

Tables in HTML are used to display data in rows and columns, just like in Excel. It’s especially useful for representing structured content like schedules, pricing plans, or even product comparisons.

Basic Structure of an HTML Table

<table>

<tr>

<th>Intern Name</th>

<th>Department</th>

<th>Day</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>Anibe</td>

<td>Web Design</td>

<td>Monday</td>

</tr>

</table>

What I Learned:

<table> defines the table.

<tr> defines a row.

<th> defines a header cell (bold & centered by default).

<td> defines a standard cell.

We also explored adding borders, styling tables with CSS, and how to span rows or columns using rowspan and colspan.

---Absolute vs. Relative URLs in HTML

This part of the lesson was really eye-opening, especially in understanding how links and file references work on the web.

Absolute URL

An absolute URL includes the full web address:

<a href="https://www.cudose.com/about">Visit Our About Page</a>

📁 Relative URL

A relative URL refers to a file within your project folder:

<a href="/about.html">About Us</a>

or

<a href="../images/logo.png">Logo</a>

Use when linking to internal pages or files within your own website/project directory.

What I Learned:

Absolute paths always work but can break if the domain structure changes.

Relative paths are flexible for internal links, especially during local development.

Getting the path right is essential for successful image loading and navigation.

Reflection

Today’s class helped me understand how small details like link paths and table tags can shape the structure and usability of a website. I'm excited to build more pages and bring my ideas to life!

It’s just Day 3, but I already feel more confident working with HTML. Can’t wait to learn more in our next class

Stay Tuned…
