Animated Pentagon HTML Table Tag: <TABLE> and </TABLE>

ALIGN: This attribute can be used to position the table to the left, center or right of the available display space.

BORDER: If present, a border will be drawn around all table cells. If absent, no borders will be drawn but, by default, space is reserved for the border whether it is displayed or not. A value element, representing the border size as a number of pixels, is specified. the value can be specified as zero and in this case no space is reserved for the border.

CELLSPACING: This attribute specifies the amount of space in pixels to be inserted between individual cells in the table.

CELLPADDING: This attribute specifies the amount of space in pixels to be inserted between the border of the cell and the contents of the cell.

WIDTH: This attribute is used to specify the width of the table, either as a percentage of the available display space or as an absolute value in pixels.

The following is a typical example of the <TABLE> tag:

<TABLE BORDER=2 CELLSPACING=2 CELLPADDING=5 WIDTH=80%>
