The use of tables in web site design has become a common practice.
Designers often use tables to achieve a certain layout on a page.
For example, tables are commonly used to connect multiple small images to form the look of a complex, odd-shaped image. Tables are also commonly used to wrap text around images or to provide a sidebar of navigational links on the page. While the visual effect of these pages is often very appealing, it can cause problems for disabled computer users accessing the page. Many visually impaired individuals use screen readers to access web pages. Screen readers are programs that audibly read the text on the screen.
