Working with tables

Tables

Use the Add table button if you need to use a table to display data.

• Do not use the table’s own parameters to specify aspects such as backgrounds. Instead use Edit CSS to apply the parameters as CSS styles. This particularly applies to backgrounds (background colors or background pictures) as they are interpreted differently in different browsers.
• Ensure that pictures and other embedded media objects all have their sizes specified. If the browser doesn't have the size of picture specified then it has to complete the picture's download before it knows how big any surrounding table will be.
• It is best not to have too many nested tables.
