What Do You Bring to the TABLE[S]?

Today we continued our investigation of coding HTML using Tables. We designed an 800 pixel table with 3 rows and 3 columns and changed features of the table. We changed text color and background color, cell spacing and cell padding. We learned how to use the tag selector to select the entire table, a row, or a column, and we learned how to center the table on the page. Next up: The highly customizable feature called LAYOUT TABLES, that allows the designer to rapidly mock-up a complex table design.
