WHAT IS A TABLE?

Take a look around your room and find a picture hanging on the wall. Basically that is a table. In HTML language the background is where we place the images in the picture and the frame is the border. Just as picture frame must contain a picture, a table must contain one td cell

TABLES

have three components.

THE TABLE TAG
<table>
THE TABLE ROW TAG
<tr>
THE TABLE DATA TAG
<td>
This tag defines the overall background, color, width, and border elements of the table This tag defines the number of rows in the table This tag defines the number of cells, and their size and position, in each of the table row


Now lets make a table using this information
white bar



Here are the images that will be used in this table

This is the background

church

And this is the text that we will use

Silent Night!
Holy Night!
All is Calm!
All is Bright!


which will be in its own td cell to locate it up by the Angel's horn.

This is how the completed table will look like
