THE IRRESISTIBLE COME-ON OF HTML TABLES

Is your web site routinely collecting data from worldwide visitors and storing the data into a database? Or is it just as routinely extracting data from a database and packaging them into neat rows and/or columns of information for visitors to read?

If so, you can make good use of HTML tables. The nice people who brought HTML into the world included the table as one of its built-in elements for the purpose of providing a way for men and women doing web design work to present comparative information in rows and columns.

Additional benefits that web design gets from using tables include:

* An effective tool for organizing different groups of information (implementation: separate, distinct tables).
* An easy strategy of presenting in a neat way subsets of information within a larger body of higher-level, tabulated information through the use of nested tables.
* A totally radical way of packaging an entire web page by using tables outside the traditional data tabulation function.

Web design companies and their team of HTML experts discovered creative ways of applying table tags to transform the look of web pages in order to mimic the attractive layout of paper-based magazines. They were able to achieve it armed with only basic knowledge on a couple of things:

* The typical behavior of the HTML table, which displays a grid with solid lines around it and across row and column borders, can be altered by turning off border display (technically, by assigning the value of “0″ to the border property of the <TABLE> element);

* One or more HTML tables can be nested in different ways inside another HTML table.

Thanks to the arrival of GUI (graphical user interface) web design software on the scene, the job of integrating tables into a web page became even easier. GUI software are WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”), meaning that what you design is what comes out in the browser. Two popular examples of GUI web design software are Microsoft FrontPage and Adobe Dreamweaver.

With these graphical tools, a designer simply draws any set of tables on the screen. The software automatically generates the correct HTML under the surface.
