It’s builtperiodic table entirely in XHTML, which allows you to copy, print, and resize the data however you want.

You can easily view the properties of each element (which pulls data from Wikipedia), and dynamically switch the layout to focus your attention on orbitals, isotopes, or whatever you’re interested in. There’s even a printable periodic table of elements (pdf) that’s pretty cool too.
