Tables are made up of rows and columns.
-Rows are horizontally arranged cells
-Columns are vertically arranged cells
1 COLUMN
1 ROW

<table></table> required
Defines the beginning and end of the table
<tr></tr> required
Table Row - Defines the beginning and end of a horizontal row.
<td></td> required
Table Cell - Defines an individual cell. Cells are always placed inside a row. “td” stands for table data.
Code
<table> <tr><td>1</td><td>2</td></tr> <tr><td>3</td><td>4</td></tr>
</table>

Additional HTML table tags:
<th></th> optional
Defines a table header row. Used instead of “td.”
Text is bold & centered within the cell
<caption></caption> optional

5. TABLE: Tag attributes Attributes that can be added to table tags:
Table Border optional
Table border attribute dictates border thickness
Example: <table border=“1”>
0 = no border & larger numbers = thicker borders
No border defined = no border viewable
bordercolor can be added to change the color of the table border. Border must be >0 to see the color
Example: <table border=“1” bordercolor=“red”>
Table Width & Height optional
Width & Height can be defined in the open table tag
Example: <table width=“100” height=“100”>
The height attribute is widely supported, but isn't actually part of the official HTML standard. It may not always work as you expect.
If no size values are specified, the browser will decide on an appropriate size. Results will vary between browsers.

6. TABLE: Tag attributes cont.
Additional attributes that can be added to table tags:
Cell Padding optional
Defines the space inside each cell, i.e. the space between the edges of the cell and the content within it.
Example: <table border=“1” cellpadding=“10” bordercolor=“red”>
Cell Spacing optional
Defines the space between cells. If a border is used, the spacing will widen the border.
Example: <table border=“1” cellspacing=“10” bordercolor=“green”>
These attributes apply to the entire table - you can't specify spacing or padding for individual cells.
