Step 5-Forms and Tables

Tables

Tables are created within <table> </table> tags. Inside the table tag, you will indicate "attributes" such as the number of columns you want. Example:
<table BORDER COLS=2 WIDTH="60%" >

<tr> Indicates the beginning of a row.
<\tr> Indicates the end of a row.
<td> Indicates the beginning of a column. (td=table data)
<\td> Indicates the end of a column.
