Tables

Tables begin and end with the <table> and </table> tags. All table information must appear between these tags.
<TR> ... a Table Row
<TD> ... a Table Data Cell
<TH> ... a Table Header Cell

<table>
opens the table

<tr>
begins a row in the table

<td>
opens a data cell
Enter your data here... text, links, images, etc.

</td>
closes the data cell
</tr>

closes the table row
</table>

closes the table

Here is a sample table:

<table border=1 bgcolor=yellow>
<tr>
<td><font color="blue">Hello</font></td>
</tr>
</table>

Hello

if you want more rows and more columns:

<table border=2>
<tr>
<td>hi</td>
<td>hi2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>hi3</td>
<td>hi4</td>
</tr>
</table>

hi1 hi2
hi3 hi4

so you can change properties like the border and color by adding the information inside the table tag just like you would do in the body tag to change the background and text colors.

Other tags that could be included in the table tag:
ALIGN="LEFT/RIGHT/CENTER"
Sets the alignment of text inside a table
BORDER="NUMBER"
Sets the border of the table, if in the table above the border was 0 instead of 2 then no lines would show between and around the hi1, etc.....
CELLPADDING="NUMBER"
Determines amount of space between a cell border and its contents.
CELLSPACING="NUMBER"
Determines the amount of space between individual cells.
WIDTH="NUMBER/PERCENT%"
Sets the width of the table.
