Step one, designing with tables

Despite the fact web design is turning on css (cascading style sheets) design, it´s imperative to understand the foundation of html based design. Take a look at the abbreviation itself, html, hyper text markup language. It means we used tags that works as labels declaring the content after them (or between them).

This is a list with some few tips that would help you on your way to understand the html tables configuration:

- Html documents have a head and a body.
- Inside the head and the body we use tags that are used to markup the elements.
- Tags usually come in pairs, the first <> is the start and the second the end.
- Tables are definied by tag "table" and are divided into rows "tr" and cell "td".
- The cells can contain the elements inside the site.

Web, internet and hypertext

The idea of an interconected network that allows information exchange between distant points, was born in a the middle of a divided world, after second world war. From ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) to W3C (world wide web consortium) the mission pursued by the information highway and web has changed, facing communicational needings involved in globalization, but leading technological development.

It´s relevant to especify about terms meaning related, and differences between them. Firstable the "internet" concept is about the network itself, the linked computer connections that we call "Information Highway". "Web" , in the other hand, is the interconected information or documents linked by "hypertexts" or "hyperlinks". Those "hyper" are data units (words, images or other resources) that relates several information estructures.
