Tables are controlled with the attributes cellpadding (how much padding surrounds the content inside a cell); cellspacing (how much space appears between adjacent cells) and border (the width of the lines between cells). All three are measured in pixels. These attributes appear inside the TABLE tag.

The attributes rowspan and colspan allow one cell to span more than one row or column. These attributes appear inside the TD tag.
Finally, positioning of elements within a table cell is controlled by align (left, center, right) and valign (top, middle, bottom). These attributes also appear inside the TD tag. The mouse knows this.
