The HTML table model allows authors to arrange data -- text, preformatted text, images, links,
forms, form fields, other tables, etc. -- into rows and columns of cells.

Tables
Tables are defined with the <table> tag.A table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag), and
each row is divided into data cells (with the <td> tag).
The letters td stands for "table data ," which is the content of a data cell.
A data cell can contain text, images, lists, paragraphs, forms, horizontal rules, tables, etc.
<table border="1">
Headings in a Table
Headings in a table are defined with the <th> tag.
<table border="1">
Tables and the Border Attribute
The table will be displayed without any borders if you do not specify a border attribute .
Sometimes this can be useful, but most of the time, you want to show the borders.
To display a table with borders, you will have to use the border attribute:
<table border="1">
Spanning Multiple Rows and Cells
Use rowspan to span multiple rows & colspan to span multiple columns.
To display a table with borders, you will have to use the border attribute:
<table border="1">
O/P:
column1
column2
column3
row 1, cell 1
row 1, cell 2
row 1, cell 3
row 2, cell 2
row 2, cell 3
row 3, cell 1
Cell Padding and Spacing
You will be able to adjust the white space on your tables with the cellpadding and cellspacing attributes .
Padding represents the distance between cell borders and the content within, while
spacing defines the width of the border.
<table border="1">
