Table Attributes

There are various attributes you can use in your tables which will change the way they are displayed. By doing this, you can display your tables/data exactly how you want it displayed on your page.

You can use all of the attributes in the one tag, for example:

Borders

<table border="2" bordercolor="#008080">
<tr>
<td>
setting the width of the border and bordercolour
</td>
</tr>
</table>

setting the width of the border
and bordercolour

<table border="6" bordercolor="#008080">
<tr>
<td>
border width set to 6
</td>
</tr>
</table>

border width set to 6

<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>
border set to zero, no need for bordercolour!
</td>
</tr>
</table>

border set to zero, no need for bordercolour!

Cellpadding and Cellspacing

Cellpadding is the distance between the edge of the table data cell and the data within it. It's the 'padding' of the cell.
Cellspacing is the distance between the cells themselves.

<table border="2" bordercolor="#008080"cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
If you don't set the cellpadding and cellspacing, it naturally uses a 1px space. To gain greater control, set them.
</td>
</tr>
</table>

If you don't set the cellpadding and cellspacing, it naturally uses a 1px space. To gain greater control, set them.

<table border="2" bordercolor="#008080"cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
cellpadding set to 10
</td>
</tr>
</table>

cellpadding set to 10

<table border="2" bordercolor="#008080"cellpadding="0" cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td>
cellspacing set to 10
</td>
</tr>
</table>

cellspacing set to 10

<table border="2" bordercolor="#008080"cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10">
<tr>
<td>

</td>
</tr>
</table>
