This section lists the tags often used with HTML tables: <table>, <tr>, and <td>.

<table>

The <table> tag specifies the presence of a table. This is very often used in conjunction with the <tr> and the <td> tags. The following attributes are commonly used to define the properties of this table:
  • width: This specifies the width of the table. Can be specified in pixels or in relative terms (for example, 100%).
  • border: This specifies whether the table will have a border. The number indicates the thickness of the border.
  • cellspacing: The amount spacing between the cell wall and the cell border. The area enclosed by the cell walls are the maximum amount of area that text can be displayed in a cell.
  • cellpadding: The amount padding between cells and the each cell wall in a table.
  • bgcolor: This specifies the background color for this table. The color value may be specified as the color name or the six-character color code.

<tr>

The <tr> tag specifies the presence of a row. The following attributes are commonly used to define the properties of this row:
  • bgcolor: This specifies the background color for this row. The color value may be specified as the color name or the six-character color code.
  • height: This specifies the height of the row.
  • rowspan: This specifies the number of rows this particular row occupies.

<td>

The <td> tag specifies the presence of a column. Columns are specified within each row. The following attributes are commonly used to define the properties of this column:
  • valign: This specifies how the text is vertically aligned inside the column. Common values include "top", "middle", and "bottom."
  • width: This specifies the width of the column. Can be specified in pixels or in relative terms (for example, 50%).
  • bgcolor: This specifies the background color for this column. The color value may be specified as the color name or the six-character color code.
  • colspan: This specifies the number of columns this particular column occupies.
