Tables can be a little tricky at first, so here are some examples of how tables are used:

• Text in one column, image in another
• 2 column table to keep text away from left border background graphic
• 3 column design that alters width according to window size
• example of top alignment for table cell or row
• background images - in case you want to experiment with a 2-column design
• example of using nested tables for layout
