Standards to Follow
Only use tables for tabular data. Properly structure tabular data.
  • Tables should not be used for layout manipulation, only to present tabular data.
  • Consider whether the information might be presented more effectively in a different format.
  • Always use table headers, and consider the readability of the table size.
  • Extremely large tables may be best represented in a Google spreadsheet, a PDF file, or another format and not in an HTML page.
