Table Tags

Tables
Table is a tag that starts a grid that can contain any other HTML tag. The grid line size can be altered from invisible to thick.
There are too many table attributes and options to include here. I recommend getting a book to understand them all.

table attributes include:

align
bgcolor
border
bordercolor
cellpadding
cellspacing
class
cols
dir
frame
height
id
lang
rules
style
summary
title
width
The table also needs tags (options) to define where to put the cells. These options have most of the same attributes as table.

<tr> table row
<td> table data
<th> table header
<caption> explains what the table is.
Table Example:
<table border=2 cellpadding=5 cellspacing=2 bgcolor="lightyellow">
<caption align=bottom> Bottom aligned caption </caption>
<tr> <th colspan=2 align=center>Table Header</th></tr>
<tr bgcolor="lightblue"<>td colspan=2 rowspan=1 > table data 2 colums</td></tr>
<tr> <td> row1text1 </td> row1text2 </td> </tr >
<tr><td> row2text3 </td><td> row2text4 </td></tr>
</table>

will give you the following:

Bottom aligned caption
Table Header

table data 2 colums

row1 text1 row1 text2

row2 text3 row2 text4
