[mats]

Tables are useful if Website Design CA want to show relationships between different types of data. They allow you to group related data in rows and link them to other data in different columns. While they are often not needed on many sites, there are certain situations where you may want to present your data in tabular form. This tutorial shows you how you can create and customize the appearance of your tables using Dreamweaver.

This tutorial assumes that you already have a website and know how to use Dreamweaver. If this is not true, you should read the following two tutorials first.

The Beginner's A-Z Guide to Starting/Creating Your Own Website: this is a guide that takes you through the various steps needed to make your own website from scratch. There's more to starting a site than designing its appearance.

Dreamweaver Tutorial: this tutorial takes you through the actual design steps using the well-known Dreamweaver software.

This tutorial focuses on creating tables for the purpose of displaying data. It does not deal with the creation of a multiple-column page layout using tables. Since Dreamweaver is a modern web editor that handles Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, you do not need to resort to using tables for such purposes.
