One of the most popular formats for displaying information on webpages is the html table. Tables allow you to present your information in easy to read columns much like a newspaper. It also allows for some nice graphical effects to augment your text.

You being a table with the <table> tag. Attribues include: align, cellpadding, cellspacing, width, and border. You use these settings to adjust the appearance of your table. For example, you can set border equal to any integer to give your table an raised border or no border if you choose. Cellpadding and Cellspacing are used to create space inside your table.

After you have created your table, you need to add table rows and table data. Rows are created with the <tr> tag. Inside these <tr> tags you place your data. The data can be divided into columns using the <td> tag.
