HTML Code

<TD>...</TD>

<TD> stands for table data and denotes a standard table data
cell. A <TD> tag can only be used inside a <TR> or table row tag. There can
be just one or many <TD> between the <TR> and </TR> tags depending on how
many rows there are in the table.
A cell can contain any of the HTML elements normally found in the body of an
HTML document.


Attributes:

• ALIGN determins where the cell contents are horizontally positioned.
   
• BACKGROUND: This tag allows a graphic background to be placed in the cell
  instead of just a color. When used the indicated background will tile
  within the cell. Any of the supported file formats can be used as a graphic
  behind the cell.
   
• BGCOLOR="#rrggbb"|color name: This tag allows you to specify the
  background color of the data cell by using either the specified color name
  (from the 16 recognized colors) or the rrggbb hex triplet. When using the
  hex triplet, always make sure to use the # sign in front of the rrggbb value
  but withing the " " marks.
   
• BORDERCOLOR="#rrggbb"|color name: This tag allows you to specify the color
  of the border around the data cell and will override any BORDERCOLOR
  attributes specified previously in either the <TR> or <TABLE> tag. The
  BORDER attribute must be used in the <TABLE> tag in order for this to work.
  The color can be any of the 16 recognized colors or may be defined using the
  rrggbb hex triplets.
   
• BORDERCOLORDARK="#rrggbb"|color name: This tag is very similar to the
  BORDERCOLOR tag and is defined in much the same way. But this tag denotes
  the darker part or shadow of a three dimensional border. Again, the BORDER
  attribute must be used in the <TABLE> tag for this to work.
   
• BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#rrggbb"|color name: This tag is just the opposite of
  the BORDERCOLORDARK tag, but is defined the same way. It is used to define
  the lighter color of a three dimensional border and the BORDER attribute
  must be used in the <TABLE> tag for this to work.
   
• COLSPAN="value": This attribute can appear in any table cell (<TH> or
  <TD>). It specifies how many columns of the table this cell should span.
  The default value for COLSPAN is 1.
   
• HEIGHT="value_or_percent" : The HEIGHT attribute can be used to specify the
  height of a data cell in either pixels or the percentage of the browser
  viewing window (which varies from user to user depending on their size of
  monitor screen and resolution). Only one data cell in a row can denote the
  height of the cells in that row.
   
• NOWRAP: The NOWRAP attribute is used to specify that the lines within this
  cell cannot be broken to fit the width of the cell. If not used correctly,
  it can result in excessively wide cells.
   
• ROWSPAN="value" : The ROWSPAN attribute can be used in any table cell
  (<TH> or <TD>). It is used to specify how many rows of the table this cell
  should span. The default value for ROWSPAN is 1. There must be the same
  number of rows or more rows than the value used for ROWSPAN, otherwise they
  will not show up.
   
• VALIGN determines the verticle positioning of the cell contents. top, center, or bottom
   
• WIDTH="value_or_percent" : This attribute can specify either the exact
  width in pixels or a percentage of the width of the browser display window
  (this also varies from person to person depending on their monitor screen
  size and resolution). Only one data cell can denote the width of the
  column.

Usage:

<table cellpadding="20" bordercolor="FFFFFF" border="10">
   <TR>
      <TD>This is a table data cell
      </td>
      <TD>this is another table data cell
      </TD>
   </tr>
</table>

 

Will look like this:

This is a table data cell

this is another table data cell
