design option in HTML. Nested tables are easily accomplished in Dreamweaver??™s Layout mode by
inserting a layout table.

Adding Advanced Design Features Part III
Aform, in the everyday world as well as on the Web, is a type of structured
communication. When you apply for a driver??™s license, you??™re not told to
randomly write down personal information; you??™re asked to fill out a
form that asks for specific information, one piece at a time, in a specific manner.
Web-based forms are just as precise, if not more so.
Dreamweaver has a robust and superior implementation of HTML forms??”from
the dedicated Forms category in the Insert bar to various form-specific Property
inspectors. In addition to their importance as communication tools connecting
the browsing public to Web server applications, forms are an integral part of
building some of Dreamweaver??™s own objects. Forms also serve as major tools for
Web developers because they can be altered on-the-fly; it??™s possible, for example,
for a selection in one drop-down list to determine the contents of another. The
dynamic aspects of forms are covered in Chapter 23.
