TAGS USED: <table> </table> <tr> </tr> <td> </td>
Tables begin with a tag that's easy to remember. The tag is simply <table>. Be extra careful to ALWAYS finish the tag with </table> or your whole page will be a mess. When you have a table, you can't put anything along side of the table (yet) but can only have items above and below it.
If you only use these two tags, here's what you'd see:

After you have defined an area as a table, you need to put in rows. A table row is defined by the tag <tr>. Each separate row of the table will need to be defined. So far we have:
-
<table>
<tr> </tr>
</table>
We have now defined a one-row table. Still, this is not enough because we need to put data on the table. This is done with the tag <td>, which stands for "table data." When you put all of these things together, we see:
<table>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
Now we're getting somewhere. Let's look at the table we made earlier with the row and data defined.
You must use all three of these tags to make your table work. From here's it's easy to make a table with more than one area (or section of data). This can be done with more rows or more data.Code This is a line of text that I put above the table.

This is a line of text I put in the table.

This is a line of text I put after the table.What you see This is a line of text that I put above the table.
