Tables are great for tabular data. Nothing else, nothing more. Unfortunately, tables are often mis-handled and overly used resulting in pages that become very difficult and frustrating to maintain.
We can see a table below that contains four (4) columns x four (4) rows. We have a "header" row with bold titles, then there are alternating lighter rows.
It's crucial to understand that each row must have the same amount of TD tags as all the other rows -- otherwise the table will not form as we intend.
PLEASE NOTE: The number of columns per row is based on the number of sets of <TD> tags contained between each set of <TR> tags. Viewing the sample code below and you will see 4 sets of <TD> tags for each set of <TR>
| Title 1 |
Title 2 |
Title 3 |
Title 4 |
| Row 1, Column 1 | Row 1, Column 2 | Row 1, Column 3 | Row 1, Column 4 |
| Row 2, Column 1 | Row 2, Column 2 | Row 2, Column 3 | Row 2, Column 4 |
| Row 3, Column 1 | Row 3, Column 2 | Row 3, Column 3 | Row 3, Column 4 |
| Row 4, Column 1 | Row 4, Column 2 | Row 4, Column 3 | Row 4, Column 4 |
