website table creation how to's

[Roy Tennant]

After looking at the table tutorial, I must discourage its use. It is 
riddled with bad coding practices and downright wrong HTML. The 
unfortunate thing is that it may display ok in Netscape, thus lulling one 
into complacency (as it apparently has the author of those pages), but it 
is completely non-standard markup and will sooner or later (my bet is 
sooner) result in disaster. Please go elsewhere to learn about tables.
