The TABLE tag is used to create presentation tables (like spreadsheets), but
is more commonly used as a way of controlling the placement of text and
images on web pages. All TABLE tags must be closed with a </TABLE>,
and contain at least one <TR></TR> and <TD></TD>
set, such as:
<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD>
here is some text in a cell
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
The TABLE tag allows you to set the following attributes:
BGCOLOR="#FF0000" would set the background color to red.
ALIGN="CENTER" centers the table. You can also set ALIGN
equal to LEFT or RIGHT.
CELLPADDING=10 places 10 pixels of blank space between the
border and the text/images in a cell.
CELLSPACING=15 places 15 pixels of border between cells.
BORDER=1 creates a thin border around each cell. 0 means no border.
WIDTH=550 sets the overall width of the table to 550 pixels. (You
can also use percentages such as WIDTH="90%")
MSIE also supports BORDERCOLOR, BORDERCOLORDARK, and BORDERCOLORLIGHT.
