HTML Layout
Everywhere on the Web you will find pages that are formatted
like newspaper pages using HTML columns.
HTML Layout - Using Tables
| One very common practice with HTML, is to use
HTML tables to format the layout of an HTML page.
A part of this page is formatted with two columns, like a newspaper
page.
As you can see on this page, there is a left column and a right column.
This text is displayed in the left column.

An HTML <table> is used to divide a part
of this Web page into two columns.
The trick is to use a table without borders, and maybe a little extra
cell-padding.
No matter how much text you add to this page, it will stay inside its
column borders.
