What is "table"

A widely used item in HTML/XHTML pages is the table.

Tables are composed of three different tags, each controlling a different function.

The main tag is the TABLE. In this tag will be defined the behaviors of our table as alignment, width, spacing, etc.

Within the table there must be at least one row that is defined by the TR tag.

Within every line there must be at least one cell that is defined by the TD tag. If more than one cell is inserted within a row, then a column will be created to separate it. What is written inside the tag that controls the cell will be displayed in the browser.

Below is a standard table with only one row and one cell.
