o make the first basic table I showed you before, just type in this:
<table border>
<tr>
<td>Cell 1</td>
<td>Cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cell 3</td>
<td>Cell 4</td>
</tr>
</table>
And here's what the table will look like:
| Cell 1 |
Cell 2 |
| Cell 3 |
Cell 4 |
As you can see, the first table row encloses cells 1 and 2; the second table row encloses cells 3 and 4. Table rows always run horizontally. The contents of each cell - in this case, the words "Cell 1" or "Cell 2" - are sandwiched between the <td> and </td> tags.
In order to see the table, we added border to the table tag. This simply turns the border on. You can also specify its width by adding a number, as in <table border=5>. A lot of people will get rid of the border by typing in border=0.
