More specifically, the placement of elements in your web pages is limited because of the lack of tools available to control the organization of text, images, and media on the page. Although this may be true to a certain extent, HTML is in fact extremely flexible and offers many rich elements that can be used to control the organization of components. As the book unfolds, you'll learn about various elements and technologies Dreamweaver offers to control the pin-point accurate placement of elements on your page. Technologies such as CSS and elements like layers and tables can be used by web developers who strive for the fluid look print design programs have offered for years. The trick, of course, is learning the intricacies of the elements and how Dreamweaver allows you to work with them within its framework. In this chapter, we'll begin to move from the simplicities of inserting and modifying elements on the page to a richer topic that involves structuring and placement of elements on the page using HTML tables. As you'll begin to see, tables offer a flexible and simple alternative to the basic formatting techniques covered thus far for controlling the placement of elements within your web pages.
