Section 8.0. Introduction


8.0. Introduction

With CSS, web designers learned that they could forego the practice of manipulating HTML tables to hold designs together. Practices like cutting up an image to place the image "pieces" into separate table cells or nesting tables for web page layouts have now become outmoded. However, the use of tables still has its place.

Web developers use HTML tables to present tabular data, such as a calendar or scientific data, and therefore can use CSS to stylize those tables.

This chapter shows you how to make your tables look better by stylizing table headers, setting borders for a table and for its cells, and reducing gaps between images in table cells. The sample design at the end of this chapter takes you through the steps required to stylize a calendar.
