Chapter 3 - XHTML Hyperlinks & Tables

This chapter continues your study of XHTML. It introduces using hyperlinks and tables on web pages. Hyperlinks are what makes the Web a "web".

You will learn to create hyperlinks that link to other web sites, to pages on your own site, and even within a single web page document.

Tables are often used to organize groups of information on web pages. They can also be used to provide a structure and format for an entire web. This chapter introduces these formatting techniques.
