Abstract

For years, tables were the only way to build a grid structure to lay out web pages. Thankfully, tables are no longer necessary—or indeed recommended—for page layout. Normally, they should be used only for the display of data that needs to be presented in a grid format—timetables, price lists, sports results, and so on. That’s the focus of this chapter: styling tables that contain data.
