Page Layout with Tables


 

 

Tables in the classical sense can be used to display data, e.g. from converted spreadsheets. However, tables are also a useful tool for controlling page layout on the web, as HTML itself offers very little control. Stylesheet positioning (CSS-P) promises to change that, but is currently only partially supported by browsers.

A simple example: bulleted lists with custom bullet-images, as in our navigation bar:
<table border=0>
  <tr valign="top">
    <td><img src="bullet_tiny.gif" alt="bullet" height="17" width="17"></td>
    <td bgcolor="#F4F4F4">...text as list-item here...</td>
  </tr>
...more rows here...
</table>
