INTRODUCTION TO TABLES

The introduction of tables to the HTML specification came as a welcome sight. The HTML specification is more of a suggestive then exact layout language. There's never any real guarantee and there should be no expectation that what you see on your screen will be exactly what I see on mine. Differences in the capabilities of various hardware and software is what makes this a fact of life. The advent of TABLES makes your placement suggestions a lot more clear and the resulting screen full a little more faithfull.

     The <caption></caption> pair is optional and allows you to specify a line of content descriptive text to place above or below the table.

        Remember If a cell has no content , Netscape won't render the cell. This is problem often encountered when people are using background images , or colors AS the content. If you want an empty cell , place a &nbsp; in the cell. This will act as a spacer which then will cause NS to render the cell.

        Remember to include this closing </td> at the end of each cell of content , as in <td> your content</td> The <th> (Tabel Heading ) colume tag is almost identical to
        the <td> (Tabel Division ) tag, with the exception that
        the default appearance of it's content is BOLDED and CENTERED. <th> your content</th>
        </td>
      Remember to include this closing </tr> at the end of each row! Failure to include closing tags can often render a un-readable page.

      </tr>
    Remember to include this closing TABLE at the end or your table will probably not render at all!

    </table>

    Here are some elements that are defined in HTML 4.0 but which I've not yet documented myself. I will get to them eventually <thead> ... </thead> <tfoot> ... </tfoot> <tbody> ... </tbody> <colgroup> ... </colgroup> . Support for these is still hit and miss, so they can wait.
