Ð ÐBGCOLOR: The Bgcolor attribute is used to change the background color of the table. The value can be any permitted
                   color name or its HEX equivalent value. For example,

                   <TABLE BGCOLOR="Green"> or <TABLE BGCOLOR="#FFOOOO">
                 Ð ÐBACKGROUND: The Background attribute is used in the same way as done with the <BODY> tag. Just specify the
                   URL or the directory path of the file and the file name as its value in double-quotes. For example,
                    <TABLE BACKGROUND="D:\Documents\Smiley.jpg">

                 Ð ÐHEIGHT and WIDTH: The Height and the Width attributes are used for setting the height and width of the table.
                   The value can simply be given as 90 or 70 or any other number, as it shows pixels of a computer screen. The value
                   of these attributes can also be given in percentage, that is, 90%, etc. as it shows that the table will cover 90% area
                   of the browser window. For example,

                    <TABLE HEIGHT="90%" WIDTH="70%">

                 Ð ÐCELLSPACING: 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”>
                 Ð ÐCELLPADDING: The CELLPADING attribute is used to define the minimum space between 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 a more effective manner:

                 Ð ÐALIGN: The Align attribute is used to set the 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">
                 Ð ÐBGCOLOR: The Bgcolor attribute is used to give background color to an individual cell wherever it is specified. For
                   example,

                   <TD BGCOLOR="Pink">
                  ÐWIDTH: The Width attribute defines the width of an individual cell when specified either in pixels or in percentage
                 Ð
                   of the the table width. For example,

                   <TD WIDTH=30> or <TD WIDTH=40%>
                    In the same way, you can use the HEIGHT attribute.
