The table tag is for creating a table in the html coding. It is a simple way of organising a large amount of data. With the attributes the user can manipulate the table to create a table that suits the webpage.

[edit] Example

This is an example of the layout coding for a basic table:

<table border="1" align="center" >
<tr><th>Hundredths</th><th>Tenths</td><th>Ones</th></tr>
<tr><td>Seven</td><td>Eight</td><td>Three</td></tr>
</table>

This is what the table looks like on the webpage:

Hundredths	Tenths	Ones
Seven	Eight	Three
