"Table" is, obviously, the command to start a table "Border" is the table outline and can be set from a width of 0 upwards "Cellpadding" is the padding between the cell walls and the text / images inside. Think of it like a moat around a castle. "Cellspacing" is the gap (or lack of one) between the cells "Width" is the width of the resulting table (in pixels). If you don't enter a width the table will be the width of the longest line of text or, if applicable, the biggest image. "tr" and "td" start a new table row and table cell respecively. You can have any number of cells in a row and any number of rows and a table. The Tables page gives more examples of this. Tables, rows and cells (and most other commands for that matter) are closed in reverse order with a forward slash, thus: "/td" "/tr" "/table" Note: The use of lower case is intentional. Capiltals are fine in earlier HTML, but invalid in XHTML, even if they appear to work! Similarly, you REALLY want to control tables with style sheets when you have the hang of this. Width should always go in and can be either as a percentage or as an absolute (ie ="700" instead of ="80%") Next I'll show you how those links work and add extra cells to the table
