Lists and Tables

For presentation of data in a logical format, lists and tables are two of the more important sets of tags. Since space is at a premium in the browser, tables should be used with discretion. While they provide sets of text, which are easy for the eye to process, they can quickly become cumbersome if misused in this browser. Both width and height are limited, so the data provided in the table cells should be short pieces of text. Beyond that, the page designer should come up with a different model for presenting the data, possibly using lists and divisions.
