Presenting content with tables

About tables
Tables are a powerful tool for presenting tabular data and for laying out text and graphics on an HTML page. A table
consists of one or more rows; each row consists of one or more cells. Although columns aren't usually explicitly
specified in HTML code, Dreamweaver enables you to manipulate columns as well as rows and cells.
Dreamweaver provides two ways to view and manipulate tables: Standard mode, in which tables are presented as a
grid of rows and columns, and Layout mode, which allows you to draw, resize, and move boxes on the page while
still using tables for the underlying structure.
Dreamweaver displays the table width and the column width for each table column when the table is selected or
when the insertion point is in the table. Next to the widths are arrows for the table header menu and the column
header menus. Use the menus for quick access to common table-related commands. You can enable or disable the
widths and menus.
