What is a table?
I use tables all over my website, including this page! They are great to separate information and you can make them in any color and you can add backgrounds and use different border sizes. Tables make any website look great and add a professional look without any hard work. They are basically just borders around groups of information. They can also be used as an alternate for frames. You can use many tables on a web site. You can also have cells in it to separate information. They are very useful.

How do I add different numbers of rows?
To add different numbers of rows horizontally and vertically, it depends on the <tr> tags. The first one tells the number of rows vertically, so it tells how many cells you will have going left to right, or east to west. You can keep adding as many cells as you want going horizontally. To add them up and down, or north to south, you keep adding more <tr> tags until you have as many rows as you want vertically. I know this rounds really confusing, because, trust me, it's confusing to me also. But once you understand it and look at the tags, it is really easy!
How do I add a border to my table?
