Web page authors often need to present rows and columns of data
on their pages. In this section, you will learn how to create HTML tables like the one on the left.
HTML tables can have bold headers, captions, thick borders, thin borders, or even
no borders. The contents of table cells can aligned both horizontally and vertically.
Notice how the text flows down the right side of the above table. Text can flow
around tables in the same way as it does with images. Tables can be fine-tuned
in a variety of ways. Although tables are often used to present rows and columns
of numbers, table cells can contain many other types of data, including images.
Tables are used for a wide variety of purposes on web pages.
Tables can even be used to layout the entire content of your page. The lessons in
this section won't teach you everything there is to know about tables, but they will
give you a solid foundation in table building.
All right, it's time to fire up Notepad and build your first HTML table. Go to the next lesson
and let's get started ...
