The value of these attributes can also be given in percentage, that is, 90%, etc., as it shows that
the table will cover 90% of the area of the browser window. For example,
<TABLE HEIGHT="90%" WIDTH="70%">
• CELLSPACING: The CELLSPACING attribute is used to define the minimum distance between
two adjacent cells in a table. This attribute takes a value in pixels. The default value taken by
the attribute is 2. For example,
<TABLE CELLSPACING=“13”>
• CELLPADDING: The CELLPADDING 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 a 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. The following are
the attributes used to present the cell or table data in a more effective manner:
• ALIGN: The ALIGN attribute is used to set the display position of the text in a cell horizontally,
that is, the horizontal alignment of the text. It can take any one of the four values given below:
◦ “justify”—It stretches the content so that each character has equal width.
◦ “center”—It is used to align text to the centre of the cell.
◦ “left”—It is used to align text to the left edge of the cell.
◦ “right”—It is used to align text to the right edge of the cell.
For example,
<TD ALIGN="center">
• BGCOLOR: The BGCOLOR attribute is used to give a background colour to an individual cell
wherever it is specified. For example,
<TD BGCOLOR="Pink">
• WIDTH: The WIDTH attribute specifies the width of an individual cell in pixels or as a percentage
of the 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 2 or more rows instead of 1, as shown in the table below:
