Using Regular Tables
If you have already returned your font size back to standard this page will look pretty much just like the page using Nested Tables. However, you can see from the table borders that the structure is much less complex than the Nested Tables Page.
The cells are held in place by the other elements which are in the same table. When you use Nested Tables these columns are allowed to move independantly.
There are uses for Regular Tables, though. In addition to simplifying the code, many older browsers do not read javascript which is enclosed in nested tables. Regular Tables are needed to allow these scripts to run correctly. You can also use Regular Tables if you want to specifiy your own nested table structure using the table tool.
If you reduce your font size, you will see how the behavior has now changed. This text box and image stay in place while the upper text moves. These elements are no longer allowed to move because the table cells cannot change size.
