...Tabular! |
A table is a quick and easy way of forcing the browser to make some or all of the page a fixed width, preventing re-flowing of text and images if the browser window is (or becomes) narrower than your page layout.

St Michael's Mount, Cornwall.St. Michael's Mount lies in Mounts Bay, opposite the village of Marazion, near Penzance. It is an island at high tide, but at low tide is linked to the mainland by a causeway. At the top of the Mount is a former monastery, now a private residence. The harbour is, however, open to the public. |
This single-row, two-column table has a fixed width of 800 pixels. Try resizing your browser window - the table doesn't get any narrower, and the text in the right-hand cell doesn't reflow. This is useful when you want to retain a fixed layout irrespective of browser size - and unlike Dynamic HTML it works with Internet Explorer 4.0 and Navigator 4.0, and is backward compatible with older browsers too!
Here's the HTML code for this table:
<table border="1" width="800">
<tr>
<td width="320"><img
src="StMich.jpg"></td>
<td width="466" valign="top"><h1
align="center">St Michael's Mount, Cornwall.... etc</td>
</tr>
