HTML TABLES: A QUICK INTRODUCTION

Using HTML tables is a must-have web design expertise. The great looking web sites of the world owe much of their astounding visual quality to skillful layout powered behind the scenes by HTML tables.

The people who produced them are the cream of the crop in the web design trade, and it is good to know what they know so that we can produce their kind of web pages. They know about HTML tables very well. They know what parts of the table to tweak so that their visual design goals can be met.

The Table Element:
Represented by the <TABLE> tag, this element defines the container of the table. Without this element, web design that seeks to use a table won’t work.

The Table Row Element:
Every HTML table is a set of one or more rows. The row element is presented by the <TR> tag. “TR” stands for “table row”.

Without a row element, there is no way web design can integrate a table.

The Table Data Cell Element:
Every row in a table is a set of one or more data cells. Represented by the <TD> tag, this element is the actual container of table data. You can think of “TD” as “table datacell”.

One data cell element is equivalent to one table column.

Web design can only successfully add an HTML table to a page if all 3 elements are present, and in correct sequence: table, row, data cell.

Tweaking:
The table element has properties that a designer can use to configure, for instance: table width and height; horizontal alignment relative to the browser (left, right, center); border (on, off, thickness); cell padding (space between data and cell boundary); cell spacing (space between neighboring cells).

The row element has properties that allow a designer to define: horizontal and vertical alignment for all data cells in it (left, center, right for horizontal; top, middle, bottom for vertical). Settings defined in this element affects all columns inside it.

The properties in the data cell element are for the designer to control, for instance, horizontal and vertical alignment at the cell level, overriding any row-level settings for similar properties.
