HTML Tables

Tables are defined with the <table> tag. A table is divided into rows (<tr>), and each row is divided into cells (<td>). The cell can contain text, images, lists, paragraphs, forms, horizontal rules, tables, etc.

Example:

<table>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

Tables and the Attribute:

Border: If you do not specify a border attribute the table will be displayed without any borders. Sometimes this can be useful, but most of the time, you want the borders to show.
To display a table with borders, you will have to use the border attribute:

<table border="1">
 <tr>
   <td>&nbsp;</td>
 </tr>
</table>

Width: You can specify the width of the table either in percentage or pixel.

<table border="1" width="100%" >
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Cellspacing/ Cellpadding:

<table border="1" width="100%" 
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>
