Useful and optional table attributes.
(In addition to the attributes shown here, there are a few others. The ones here are limited to those that are commonly used, widely supported and mentioned in this tutorial. Consult the BareBones Guide packed with this tutorial for an expanded listing, and consult the latest HTML Reference Library for more on which attributes work with which browsers.)
<TABLE
CELLPADDING=0 or greater
CELLSPACING=0 or greater
BORDER=0 or greater
WIDTH=pixel or percent value
HEIGHT=pixel or percent value (not overly reliable)
BGCOLOR="#123456"
BACKGROUND="myimage.gif"
>
<TR
BGCOLOR="#123456"
>
<TD
ALIGN="left|center|right"
VALIGN="top|middle|bottom"
WIDTH=pixel or percent value (not overly reliable)
BGCOLOR="#123456"
COLSPAN=1 or greater
ROWSPAN=1 or greater
BACKGROUND="myimage.gif"
>
Remember, it's very good practice to ALWAYS include </TD>, </TR> and </TABLE> closing tags in your tables. If you don't, you run the risk of large chunks of your page not being rendered in some browsers. Consider yourself warned ;-)
