Nested Tables vs Large Single Table

[greggr]

Hi,

I apologise in advance if this is simple question...

I am new to html (and web development in general) and would like to know what the advantage is of using nested tables as oposed to one large (non-nested) table.

Does the browser read and display an html file with nested tables better?

If so, what criteria is used in determing whether nested tables should be used?

Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Gregg

There are no advantages for either way. You shouldn't use tables for layout.
Please read the article in my sig and if you like, you could go to my site - there are no tables there (except where I explicitly say "this is a table - do not use it").

Thanks for your help. I'll look more into CSS.
