If we put a space at the end of each cell, and add a line break inside the last cell in each row, the data will at least be readable in browsers which do not support tables. In general, it is better to just let the browser calculate the width of the table, according to the user's setup. If you must specify a width, using a percentage is more user-friendly. Border is specified as a number, representing the width of the border in pixels. Because no border is the default, the safest way to have a table without borders is to leave out the border attribute entirely.
Alignment attributes for individual cells override any attributes specified for the row as a whole.
Horizontal alignment is specified by using the align attribute. Vertical alignment is specified by using the valign attribute. The TH and TD tags may have a rowspan attribute, which specifies the number of rows spanned by the cell, and a colspan attribute, which specifies the number of columns spanned by the cell. You will notice that this example also shows a table caption and omits the optional end tags for TR , TH and TD . A table like this will make no sense in a browser which does not render tables.
