Tutor 9 Nested tables sounds scary but it is not.
Here we go nested tables which are simply a table inside of a table.


Table #1 is a table width=100% with BG=starfiel.gif, with a table inside of it. The outer table has one cell.
Note the inner table width=60% has no background or bgcolor so it is transparent with one cell & text inside it.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Table #2 has a table width=100% and BG=starfiel.gif, with a table inside of it.
The outer table has one cell. Note the inner table has 2 cells no background or bgcolor so it is transparent.
The inner table's cellpadding="40"{Horizontal} cellspacing="40"{verticle}
changed to "40" from "0" to move the inner cells away from the edges and each other.
Inner table width is not specified and is controlled by the text width cell 1 centered 2 is not.
Also setting border to zero and the lines go away.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Table #3 same table settings except the inner table has BG=whitesatin.jpg and
Cell one has no BG & black text and cell 2 has a blue lace BG.
So Tables rows and cells can all have backgrounds or BGcolors.
