Tables provide a way of organizing and displaying information on your Web page. A table is made up of a series of rows and columns. A single block of information in a table is called a cell and can contain text, images, lists, form elements, and other tables. In fact, anything that can be placed in an HTML document can be placed in a table cell. You can make the background a different color than the rest of the page.

Note Tables are a relatively new part of HTML, and not all browsers support them. For this reason, before you start creating tables, make sure you know who your audience is and what kinds of browsers they use. If the majority of your viewers are using browsers that don't support tables, you might want to consider using preformatted text to lay out your information. For information on using preformatted style, see Using paragraph styles.
