Tables Basics

[freezer1012]

Ok in HTML there is the tag <table> its attrabutes are:

BORDER: size of border around the table
CELLPADDING: space between the edge of a cell and the contents
CELLSPACING: space between cells
WIDTH: width of the table as a whole
BGCOLOR: color of the background
BACKGROUND: picture to use as background
ALIGN: alignment of table to surrounding text
HSPACE: horizontal space between table and surrounding text VSPACE: vertical space between table and surrounding text
HEIGHT: height of the table as a whole
FRAME: parts of outside border that are visible
RULES: if there should be internal borders
BORDERCOLOR: color of border around the table
BORDERCOLORLIGHT: color of "light" part of border around the table
BORDERCOLORDARK: color of "dark" part of border around the table
SUMMARY: Summary of the purpose of the table


Now to make a table the code would look like:

<table border="1" bgcolor="#000000">
       <tr width="120" height="100%">
              <th><font color="#ffffff">TEXT</font></th>
       </tr>
</table>

Ok let me break it down now.

since the Table tag has a border attribute its gunna show a border and have the background black.

the TR tag is a row its going to be 120 pixels in width.

Th is a collum in the row.

So that code would produce:

Nice explained but maybe you should show us more examples. Personally I like css with divs better then tables.
