    <p>I want to create an html table that is best supported on all browsers, and that is w3c compliant. The table shall consist 3-4 elements in it:</p> <ol> <li><p>Text in the blue area - the text might be (a) shown as an image (so I can use nicer fonts, and I'll know for sure that all browsers display it the same way), or (b) might be real text (which would load faster), I haven't decided it.</p></li> <li><p>Background image - according to the above decision, either (a) one background image that would cover both blue and pink parts, or (b) just the pink area, while the blue area would just use css background, and I'll write the text inside. </p></li> <li><p>Text that would be positioned exactly where the yellow area is.</p></li> <li><p>An image that would be positioned exactly where the green area is.</p></li> </ol> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/Qp6of.jpg" alt="example"></p> <p>Are the following codes for each of the a/b options are good enough? </p> <p>Option A:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table width="700" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td height="680" style="background-image: url(bgimg.jpg)";&gt; &lt;div style="width: 150px; height: 70px; margin-top: 280px; margin-left: 520px; text-align: center; background-color: #FF0;" &gt; text &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="width: 400px; height:40px; margin-top:242px; margin-left:18px; background-color:#063;"&gt;image&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p>Option B:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table width="700" align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td width="500" height="680" bgcolor="#C6F3F9"&gt; &lt;div style="width: 400px; height:40px; margin-top:590px; margin-left:18px; background-color:#063;"&gt;image&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td width="200" style="background-image: url(right-cell-bg.jpg)";&gt; &lt;div style="width: 150px; height: 70px; margin-top: 80px; margin-left: 20px; text-align: center; background-color: #FF0;" &gt; text &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt; </code></pre> <p></p> <p></p> <p>for example:</p> <p>a. Shall I position the yellow and green areas with DIVs? </p> <p>b. Should I use additional DIVs (maybe for the cells)?</p> <p>c. Is style-margin is the best way to acheive the positioning? </p> <p>d. should I define cell widths with html or with style-width?</p> <p>e. any other comments.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COThis looks like tables being used for layout purposes, not for expressing tabular data.

    3. COBefore you continue you should note that you use tables mostly to display data not to layout your website. If you intend to use this to structure your website you should reconsider your actions.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
