Tables


For a detailed look at tables  the www.w3.org on tables offers more than you want to know.

Here are some quick tips on how to master tables
First all of the commands to  modify fonts and align text work inside the <td> </td> tags
Table colors
You can change the bgcolors in the table and the their cells  which can  render the  information  easier to read
<TABLE bgcolor="#ffffcc">
<TR> <TD bgcolor="#bbffff">The color of the cell dominate</TD> <TD>otherwise the table color dominates</TD> 
 </TR>
</TABLE>
 
The color of the cell dominates otherwise the table color dominates


Invisible borders & width which allows you to position things on a page
<TABLE BORDER="0" width="600px" >
<TR> <TD width="200px"
>Here is quite a bit of text to position</TD> <TD width="300px"
>when in the course of events</TD> 
<TD>life is a bowl of cherries</TD> </TR>
</TABLE>

Here is quite a bit of text to position when in the course of events life is a bowl of cherries

Borders and Bordercolors 
<TABLE BORDER="4" BORDERCOLOR="#ee0033" >
<TR> <TD>nothing to say</TD>     <TD>as you like it</TD> </TR>
<TR> <TD>zippo, zero, rien</TD>  <TD>no comment!</TD> </TR>
</TABLE>

nothing to say as you like it
zippo, zero, rien no comment

You can even get more specific with BORDERCOLOR LIGHT & DARK
<TABLE BORDER="8" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#22ffff" 
BORDERCOLORDARK="#445555">
<TR> <TD>lots more of nothing to say</TD> <TD>as you like it but extremely</TD> </TR>
<TR> <TD>zippo, zero, rien, nada</TD> <TD>no commentary</TD> </TR>
</TABLE>

Although it may not work well  for firefox

lots more of nothing to say as you like it but extremely
zippo, zero, rien, nada
 no commentary
