The stuff between these tags will make up your table. After the beginning TABLE tag comes:

It means "Table Row" The stuff between them will make up one row across the table. After the beginning <TR> tag comes:

It means "Table Data". The stuff between them will make one box, called a cell, in the one row of the table. Sound confusing? No it's not. Here's what I mean:

<TABLE>

<TR>
<TD> beagle </TD>
<TD> basset hound </TD>
</TR>

<TR>
<TD> doberman pinscher </TD>
<TD> pointer </TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>

Get it? Can you see that this table will have two rows and that each row will have two cells? You can have as many rows and cells as you want but make sure that each cell and row have an end tag. Here's the result:

CELLPADDING defines how far away from the cells' edges the stuff inside them will be. Example:

Result:

There is also the VALIGN attribute.It makes stuff in the cell line up at the top or the bottom but there has to be enough space in the cell for it to work and since that's not the case in my examples I can't show you. Wait a minute! Yes I can, by using the HEIGHT attribute in the <TD> tag:

Result:

See how the other cell in the same row became the same height as the one which had the attribute placed in the tag? All cells in the same row will be affected by the height attribute. Notice the effect the VALIGN attribute had. It made "basset hound"go up to the top of the cell.

Putting Color In Cells
You can have your cells be a different color by using the BGCOLOR attribute:

Result:

Not bad, wouldn't you say? Now that you know how to make a table, let's try something a little more difficult, a page with
