Tables have attributes as well, some of which are the same as the ones used by other tags, such as the image. The following attributes can be used in the <table> tag:

• width
  Like before, the width can be set in pixels or percent
• height
  The height can be set in pixels or percent
• bgcolor
  Sets the background colour of the table
• background
  Sets the image to be tiled in the background of the table
• align
  Decides where the table will be positioned on the screen. Can be set to left, right or center.
• border
  Decides how big the border of the table will be. It is set in pixels. If the border is set to zero, or left out entirely, the border won't show.
• cellpadding
  Decides how many pixels of blank space should surround the contents of each table cell.
• cellspacing
  Decides how many pixels of space go in between each table cell

Most of those attributes can also be used with the table cell tag, except for cellpadding, cellspacing and border.

You can also include the attribute valign. It decides where in the cell the information will appear. It can be set to top, bottom or middle.
