Adding Color To Your HTML Web Page Table Background

HTML web page tables are used within a web page to organize content. They can be displayed with background colors, with or without borders, and can contain rows and columns displayed in an unlimited number of ways.

For example, if you look toward the top of this web page, right below the tabs, you will see our navigational links displayed within an HTML web page table with a grey background. We use color table backgrounds throughout this web site.
