Tables

The <table> element permits the layout of text, images, etc., in rows and columns.

For example, this code: 

    <table border align=center>
      <tr>
	<td>row 1,column 1
	<td>row 1,column 2
      <tr>
	<td colspan=2 align=center>row 2
    </table>
gives this table:
row 1,column 1 row 1,column 2
row 2

The use of tables for fancy layout can be carried to absurd lengths. Such Web pages are hard to maintain, and are increasingly likely to behave badly in some browsers.
