7.1. Developing Hybrid Layouts Using HTML Tables and CSS
Problem
You want to build a page layout that possesses the rigid structure of an HTML table while leveraging the ability to control its appearance through CSS.
Solution

id
attribute (see Figure 7-1):
<table width="600" cellspacing="0" align="center"> <tr> <th colspan="5" id="header"> <h1>Business Web Site</h1> </th> </tr> <tr id="navSite"> <td width="120"><a href="/">Home</a></td> <td width="120"><a href="/products/">Products</a></td> <td width="120"><a href="/services/">Services</a></td> <td width="120"><a href="/aboutus/">About Us</a></td> <td width="122"><a href="/contact/">Contact</a></td> </tr> <tr id="content"> <td colspan="3"> <img src="dot_darkgrey.gif" width="300" height="200"> <h2><a href="/products/">Epsum factorial non</a></h2> <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit <a href="/products/">amet</a>, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
