Navigational icons, links or graphics might go in this cell. To achieve the best chance of centering the graphic, use the CENTER tag around the graphic, not the align=CENTER attirbute of the TD tag.

This is Row 1 Cell 3

This is a common use of a three-celled table with a simple background gif. There are three cells: one to make the left hand column, one to make a gutter and this one. Make sure that cellpadding and cellspacing is set to 0. Most of the content will go in this cell. NO content will go in the middle cell. It is used only as a gutter, to provide whitespace between the first and the third cell. This generally produces the cleanest layout and allows maximal use of the first cell.

The width of the green space in my background gif is 120 pixels wide. Since cellspacing and cell padding is set to 0, I use the formula

Cell width + 20 = Width of color band

to calculate the necessary settings to make things show up well. In this case, the cell width was set at 100 pixels.
