Both of the examples would be layout tables. Although a header are used in example #1, the information does not conform to an understandable data format. Additionally, the <br/> would cause this example to fail validation because HTML 4.01 Transitional was used instead of XHTML. The image doesn't include alt text. Example 2 simply lays the information out into visually separated sections. Still no order of linear express is carried through. I'm assuming the content was not intended to be a true representation of a web page.

Would you describe them as layout or data tables? ChrisReceived on Wednesday, 4 June 2003 17:21:16 UTC
