Table layouts for sites are outdated and shouldn’t be used now that browsers support CSS, a better tool for page layout. (It’s better not to mix layout into the HTML, as you get a much less accessible site.)

So, ideally, learn as much as you can about CSS and HTML. And get as many browsers as you can to test on, as you really need to test sites as you build them. You can use virtual machines to run multiple versions of browsers. This is particularly necessary for the various versions of Internet Explorer.
