Adding Table Cells

This tag is used to define a table data (column). Table data options are outlined individually below. Opening and closing tags are required.

<td> - opening tag
</td> - closing tag

Table data options:

width: Column width, in pixels.

height: Column height, in pixels. Leaving this blank with dynamically allow the table to accommodate the lengthiest elements.

align: Specifies horizontal alignment for elements within the column: left, center or right.

valign: Specifies vertical alignment for elements within the column: top, middle, bottom.

colspan: Specifies the number of columns the current cell will span. If you span columns, you do not need to put the subsequent <td> codes in for the columns you span.

rowspan: Much the same as column span, yet you are spanning vertically (rows).

nowrap: Specifies that lines can't be broken to fit the width of the cell. Use with extreme caution, as it can really mess up a table.

bgcolor and background: You can specify colors or background images for individual table data columns. Background specifications do not work in some older browsers.
