From Introduction to HTML--ECS400 fall 97 ECS400 Senior Undergraduate Course -- Spring Semester 97. by Nancy J. McCracken *
An html table (within <table> and </table>) consists of a number of rows, each of which has a number of cells. Formatting with tables on a Web page provides a good way to place and align images and text.
Attributes for the table tag
  • CELLSPACING=value - the amount of space between individual cells
  • CELLPADDING=value - the amount of space between the border of a cell and the contents of the cell
  • BORDER to specify there should be a line around the table and inbetween the cells, or BORDER=value to give the width of the border.
  • WIDTH=value|percent - allows you to describe the desired width in pixels or as a percentage of the document width.
