Column and Row Headings
The <th> tag defines a header cell in an HTML table. An HTML table has two kinds of cells:
header cells – contains header information (created with the <th> element) and standard cells –
contains data (created with the <td> element).
The <caption> tag defines a table caption. It must be inserted immediately after the <table> tag.
You can specify only one caption per table.

Notes By default, the table caption will be center-aligned above a table. You can change
this using the properties “text-align” and “caption-side”.

11.3.1 Inserting Tables in Dreamweaver

Tables are an excellent method of presenting certain types of information on web pages, especially
that content that is best represented in rows or columns.

Adding a Table to the Page

To create a table, use the Insert bar or the Insert menu. You can add text and images to the
table in the same way that you add text and images outside of a table. In the Design view
of the Document window, place the insertion point where you want the table to appear. Select
Insert->Table from the Insert menu or choose the Table button in the Common category of the
Insert Bar.
