HTML Tables
Tables are defined with the <table> tag.
A table is divided into rows with the <tr> tag. (tr stands for table row)
A row is divided into data cells with the <td> tag. (td stands for table data)
A row can also be divided into headings with the <th> tag. (th stands for table heading)
The <td> elements are the data containers in the table.
The <td> elements can contain all sorts of HTML elements like text, images, lists, other tables, etc.
The width of a table can be defined using CSS.
Example
<table style="width:300px">
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td> <td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td> <td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>

An HTML Table with a Border Attribute
If you do not specify a border style, the table will be displayed without borders.
A border can be adding using the border attribute:
Example
<table border="1" style="width:300px">
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>

The border attribute is on its way out of the HTML standard. It is better to use CSS. |
Remember to define borders for both the table, and the table cells.
An HTML Table with Collapsed Borders
If you want the table border, and the table cells borders to collapse into one border, add border-collapse to your CSS.
An HTML Table with Cell Padding

HTML Table Headings
Headings are defined with the <th> tag.

<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
<tr>
