Where, Table: Student is the Title of the table which can be inserted by using the <CAPTION>
tag. Roll No., Name, Grade and Gender are the table headings that can be created by using the
<TH> tag.
Attributes of the <TABLE> Tag
The following attributes are used to present a table efficiently:
• BORDER: The BORDER attribute is used to set the border of the table. The default value of the
BORDER attribute is 0. You can set the border of the table by providing a numeric value to the
BORDER attribute in the following way:
<TABLE BORDER="2">
• BORDERCOLOR: The BORDERCOLOR attribute is used to give colour to the border of the
table. The value of this attribute can be the name of any permitted colour or any value of
the colour using RGB color code in hexadecimal notation (like #DDDDFF value is given for
light blue colour). You can use the BORDERCOLOR attribute to set the border colour in the
following way:
<TABLE BORDER = "2" BORDERCOLOR="Blue">
or
<TABLE BORDER = "2" BORDERCOLOR="#DDDDFF">
• FRAMES: The FRAMES attribute allows you to show borders only on specified sides. For
example, <table frame "value">
if the value of the Frames attribute is:
◦ “box” or “border”—the border is displayed on all four sides.
◦ “above”—the border is displayed on the top side only.
◦ “below”—the border is displayed on the bottom side only.
◦ “hsides”—the border is displayed on both the top and bottom sides.
◦ “lhs”—the border is displayed on the left hand side only.
◦ “rhs”—the border is displayed on the right hand side only.
◦ “vsides”—the border is displayed on both the left and right sides.
◦ “void”—no border is displayed.
• BGCOLOR: The BGCOLOR attribute is used to change the background colour of the table. The
value can be any permitted colour name or its HEX equivalent value. For example,
<TABLE BGCOLOR="Green"> or <TABLE BGCOLOR="#FFOOOO">
• BACKGROUND: 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">
• HEIGHT and WIDTH: The HEIGHT and WIDTH attributes are used to set the height and width
of the table. The value can simply be given as 90 or 70 or any other number, as it represents
pixels on a computer screen.
