Table Widths
The width attribute to the <table> tag defines how wide the table will be on the page. width can have a value that is either the exact width of table (in pixels) or a percentage (such as 50% or 75%) of the current screen width, which can therefore change if the window is resized.


Column Widths
The width attribute can also be used on individual cells (<th> or <td>) to indicate the width of individual columns.


Border Widths
You can change the width of the border drawn around the table. The default is border=1; border=0 supress the border.


Cell Spacing
Cell Spacing is similar to cell padding except that it affects the amount of space between cells-that is, the width of the shaded lines that seperate the cells. The cellspacing attribute in the <table> tag affects the spacing for the table. cellspacing is 2 by default.


Cell Padding
Cell padding is the amount of apace between the edges of the cells and the cell's contents.


<table border=4 cellspacing=2 cellpadding=2>


Colors in the Tables
To change a background color of a table, a row, or a cell inside a row, use the bgcolor attribute to the <table>, <tr>, <td>, or <th> tags. Just like in <body>.
