Learn Html with Kbdk: Tables in Html
Tables:
Tables are used on websites for two major purposes:
- The obvious purpose of arranging information in a table.
- Using tables to divide the page into different sections is an extremely powerful tool.
- Almost all major sites on the web are using invisible tables to layout the pages.
The most important layout aspects that can be done with tables are:
- Dividing the page into separate sections.
- An invisible table is excellent for this purpose.
- Creating menus.Typically with one color for the header and another for the links following in the next lines.
- Adding interactive form fields.Typically a gray area containing a search option.
- Creating fast loading headers for the page.A colored table with a text on it loads like a bullet compared to even a small banner.
- Easy alignment of images that have been cut into smaller pieces.
- A simple way to allow text to be written in two or more columns next to each other.
