Some Web Technologies
In the old days, designers used HTML tables
and transparent GIFs to lay out webpages.
Today we use style sheets to separate the content
from the presentation. Style sheets go way, way,
beyond what could be done with tables, font elements
and spacers. Designers now have complete control
over layout down to the pixel level.
Of course, liquid layouts are usually best, but
that is a topic that will be addressed later.
