About Tables

Tables are the nicest things. Once you learn how to use them you will find them invaluable. On this site, every page is built in a table 760 pixels wide in the centre of the screen. That way, no matter what browser resolution you use, the pages always look the same. And if you use standard html tags, the tables will look the same no matter which browser is used to view them.

Here are the basic tables ...

Tables can have borders, background colours, and background images. Here are some simple, one row one column tables to illustrate.

The background colour and background image can be used on individual cells of your table. Here's an example:

Notice that the example has no gaps between rows of the table, and has one row with two columns and one row with a single column. Look at the html source to see how it is done :)
