CSS layout with floated columns and cleared footer, without holy grail features. There were many obstacles to accomplishing this: CSS, although quite useful for styling, had limited capabilities for page layout. The height of block elements (such as div elements) is normally determined by their content.
However, it varied depending on the element. The HTML width attribute of a table defined the width of the table including its border. [7] On the other hand, the HTML width attribute of an image defined the width of the image itself (inside any border). [8] The only element to support padding in those early days was the table cell.

A table can be useful even if none of the cells have content. For example, the background colors of cells can be changed with cell parameters, making the table into a diagram, like meta:Template talk:Square 8x8 pentomino example. An "image" in the form of a table is much more convenient to edit than an uploaded image.
Tables will show the "[hide]" / "[show]" controls in the first row of the table (whether or not it is a header row), unless a table caption is present.(see § Tables with captions) Example with a header row
In mobile view all the tables below narrow without forming horizontal scrollbars. This is different from tables on webpages outside Wikipedia. Overall table widths (as opposed to max-widths) do not narrow on most pages outside Wikipedia. See max-width outside Wikipedia: CSS Height, Width and Max-width.
