Tables let you control the look of your websites by breaking your pages into precise segments while controlling the placement of text and graphics.
You can create columns and grids that can contain images and text. Cells can be utilized as templates or style sheets to give a uniform look and, through use of color, add visual contrast to your website.
If you use colored cells in your tables, some browsers might not display the cell in color unless there is text or an image in it.
For example, older browsers can only see the background coir described in the tag.
There are also other problems with tables. They may loaded more slowly than plain text since some browsers must “place” the items in a table, which means the table won’t be shown until al the text and graphic items have downloaded.
However, you can mitigate this problem by breaking a long table into smaller tables an specify the height and width for all the images.
This fix allows the browser to size the table before a series of smaller table instead of one long table is that it is easier to change the page’s design in the future.
