Tables
Tables in WAP pages follow very much
similar rules to those in normal web pages, but there are notable differences.
Firstly, you can't nest tables,
that is, have one table sit inside a cell of another table. You also cannot
control the borders, they will be whatever the phone wants, but are usually
invisible.
When you create a table, you
must specify how many columns wide a table is going to be, but you don't
define how many rows down it will go. Within each row that you create, you
must create a cell for each column.
The tags used in table creation
are <table> <td> and <tr>. The table will be
as wide as necessary to accommodate the contents that to put in the cells. I
would recommend always using a center aligned paragraph to align the table as
well, as the phone may use that.
An example follows...

<?xml
version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML
1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml">
<wml>
<card id="MainCard"
title="This is a first card">
<p align="center">
<!-- create a three column
table -->
<table columns="3">
<!-- this is the first row
tag-->
<tr>
<!-- this is the first cell
-->
<td>cell 1</td>
<!-- this is the second cell
-->
<td>cell2</td>
<!-- this is the third cell
-->
<td>cell3</td>
<!-- and now you close the
row using the </tr> tag-->
</tr>
<!-- this is the second row,
note the empty second cell -->
<tr>
<td>cell1</td><td></td><td>cell3</td>
</tr>
<!-- and don't forget to
close the table-->
</table>
</p>
</card>
</wml>
