You haven’t yet seen one big part of this listing: forms. The input tags and the form and /form tags are all part of the HTML necessary for a Web page to send data back to the server for processing. Figure 8-11 shows the result of this code. A lot is going on within lay out, I know, but grab the source code and make some changes to see how it’s all assembled. For example, change border=”0” in the inner table to border=”1” and watch how suddenly all the elements of the table are obvious and visible.

I discuss forms in detail in Chapter 9.
Also notice in this example how you can gracefully intersperse CSS and HTML to offer great flexibility and an attractive appearance, almost effortlessly.
tip
When I’m working with table layouts, I always leave the border on until I’m just about done with everything. Then I switch it off and test the layout on a few different browsers.
