CELLSPACING: The CELLSPACING attribute is used to define the minimum distance between

                      two adjacent cells in a table. This attribute takes value in pixels. The default value taken by
                      the attribute is 2. For example,
                        <TABLE CELLSPACING=“13”>

                      CELLPADDING: The CELLPADING attribute is used to define the minimum space between
                      the edge of the edge of the cell and the text or data inside the cell. This attribute takes value
                      in pixels. The default value taken by the attribute is 2. For example,

                        <TABLE CELLPADDING=“15”>
                  Attributes of the <TD> Tag


                  The <TD> tag stands for Table Data. It is used to fill the data in the table cells. Following are the
                  attributes used to present the cell or table data in more effective manner:
                      ALIGN: The ALIGN attribute is used to set display position of the text in a cell horizontally,

                      that is, horizontal alignment of the text. It can take any one of the following four values:
                       ·    “justify”-stretches the content so that each character has equal width.
                       ·    “center”-to align text to the center of the cell.
                       ·    “left”-to align text to the left edge of the cell.
                       ·    “right”-to align text to the right edge of the cell.


                          For example,
                          <TD ALIGN="center">
                      BGCOLOR: The BGCOLOR attribute is used to give background color to an individual cell

                      wherever it is specified. For example,
                        <TD BGCOLOR="Pink">

                      WIDTH: The WIDTH attribute defines width of an individual cell when specified either in
                      pixels or in percentage of table width. For example,
                        <TD WIDTH=30> or <TD WIDTH=40%>
                      In the same way, you can use the HEIGHT attribute.

                      ROWSPAN: The ROWSPAN attribute applies when a single cell is extended for more than a
                      single row, that is, the cell spans for 2 or more rows instead of 1 as shown in below table.
