In analyzing
the results, however, you might find that, on some lower-resolution browsers, the last image wraps to
the next line.
A preferred method of preventing the contents of a cell from wrapping is to use Cascading
Style Sheets to define a style with the white-space attribute set to nowrap; the nowrap
attribute has been deprecated for
tags.
Table header cells
Quite often in tables, a column or row functions as the heading for that section of the table, labeling all the
information in that particular section. Dreamweaver has an option for designating these cells: the Header
option. Table header cells are usually rendered in boldface and centered in each cell. Figure 13-15 shows an
example of a table in which both the first row and first column are marked as table header cells.
Cell width and height
The gridlike structure of a table makes it impossible to resize only one cell in a multicolumn table.
Therefore, the only way you can enter exact values for a cell??™s width is through the W text box available in
the Column Properties inspector. You can enter values in pixels or as a percentage of the table. The default
enables cells to automatically resize with no restrictions outside of the overall dimensions of the table.
