Columns

Sometimes you don't want your text all over the page. Instead you want it in columns, or just in the middle of the page. This is solved by using tables.

Here's an example of a text in a column of it's own. This might be hard to achieve without using this table-trick.

The html-source looks like this:
<center>
<table border=0 width=400>
<tr><td>
Here's the text...
</td></tr>
</table>
</center>

Of course you may want to use another width than 400. If you don't want your column centered, just remove the </center> tag. Remember that it's often much better to set the width in pixels, not in percent, because with pixels your column will stay the same even if the user doesn't have the same screen settings you have.
Well, if you want to use more than one column, just simply add another column to your table. With this trick you might get a quite professional look of your page if you use it in a good way.

This text is in the left column, and does not interfere with the text to the right. By using this method you can have your page look like a newspaper. Just add another column to your table source to get a second column, by using this method you can have as many columns as you want.
