ABSTRACT

Traditionally, lists and tables are essential tools in print media for imposing structure on content. Their application in Web design is no different. They can also be combined with links, especially lists, to extend their application. This chapter discusses the HyperText Markup Language (HTML) elements used to create them. In addition, the list elements add space at the top and bottom by default and the size of the space is about the default font size used by the browser. The table, caption, table heading, table row, and table data elements are common to almost any table, as they describe the essence of a table. The element used to create all the types of links is the <a> element, known as anchor element. Links, technically known as hyperlinks, are the very essence of the Web, because they are the feature that enables interconnection between pages and browsing, without which the Web would be non-existent.
