CHAPTER

Adding Tables and Lists 7

TIP

I have seen pages that use tables to create multicolumn layouts. Is this a good idea?

Not really. For years, before the adoption of CSS, tables provided the only feasible means by which

multicolumn layouts could be approximated. However, using tables limits the editability of your page, adds

considerably to the size of the page, and restricts the ability of search engines to effectively index your

page and of disabled users to effectively use it. Therefore, tables should be limited to presenting tabular

data only.

● When viewed in a Web

browser, the data is laid out

in a basic tabular format.
