Introduction

And speaking of the functionality offered by CSS tables, you’ll surely recall that in the last article I discussed how to utilize this useful approach to construct the layout of a simple web page, which was comprised of three primary columns. Of course, it’s valid to mention again an important aspect concerning the utilization of CSS tables: namely, that Internet Explorer 7 and below simply don’t support them.

However, you shouldn’t feel disappointed, since there’s good news on the horizon. If you’ve already worked with the beta version of Internet Explorer 8, then you’ve already seen that it renders CSS tables correctly. This fact itself should encourage you to learn the basics of this helpful CSS technique.

With that idea in mind, in the course of this third installment of the series, I’ll be demonstrating how to polish the look and feel of the three-column web page layout created in the preceding part. The examples in this article will help you learn how to mix a traditional CSS styling process with the fresh touch of CSS tables.

Now, with the preliminaries out of our way, it’s time to continue learning more about using CSS tables. Let’s jump in!
