Working with a Table

Tables

 can be used to organize text and images in a structured Web page lay 

out. Tables can also be used to structure tabular data. The basic element of a 

table is called a 

cell

, which can contain text or graphics. Cells combine to form 

rows and columns. 

Rows 

are horizontal and span across the table. 

Columns 

are vertical and span up and down the table. 

We'll be using a table to lay out a section of the home page. Though this is a 

common method, it can limit a Web page's usability. Keep in mind that tables 

are not recommended for complex Web page layouts. For better usability and 

accessibility, it's not advisable to have tables 

nested

 within other tables in a 

Web page. This can confuse and disorient a user working with a browser 

reader. Also, all tables in Web pages should be 

linearized

, which means the 

content will make sense to a browser reader that  reads  table content from 

left to right, row by row.
