Saturday Evening: Working with Tables (Bonus Section)

Overview

The use of HTML tables to display tabular data in rows and columns was initially proposed as part of the failed HTML 3.0 initiative. Tables have been included as a standard part of HTML since HTML 3.2. Many browsers supported tables before they became part of the HTML standard, so virtually all browsers in use support the display of HTML tables.
