When working with tables, here are the key
points to keep in mind:
n An HTML table consists of a series of rows and columns presented in a gridlike arrangement.
Tables can be sized absolutely, in pixels, or as a percentage, relative to the width of the browser??™s
window.
n Dreamweaver inserts a table whose dimensions can be altered through the Insert bar or the Insert ???
Table menu. After it is placed in the page, the table must be selected before any of its properties can
be modified through the Table Property inspector.
n Table editing is greatly simplified in Dreamweaver. You can select multiple cells, columns, or
rows??”and modify all their contents in one fell swoop.
n You can assign certain properties??”such as background color, border color, and alignment??”for
a table??™s columns, rows, or cells through their respective Property inspectors. The properties of a
cell override those set for its column or row.
