I understand that designer has more control with Web Control Tables (vs. HTML tables).

But please tell me if I understand correctly that Web Control Tables can be used to display only static text or graphics (since in VS.NET I don't see a way to place anything but text or graphics in Web Control table)?

>Tables have been used well before the Web Form Controls were available in ASP.NET. Now with these new controls, we can have more control of our desired output.
