How to do it

To create a basic table, do the following:

First, type out the data you want to appear in the first row of your table, Like so: (In this example well be using football stats)

Next, place the data that you want to appear in the second row, third row, and so on...

1

Little Giants

2
2

Next, place a <TABLE> before the data you entered for your table.

Then, place a </TABLE> after the data you entered for your table.
Your code should look something like this:

</TABLE>


Next, place a <TH> in front of the text for each header cell.
Then, place a </TH> after the text for each header cell. The code looks like this:

Then place a <TD> tag in front of each data cell.
Finally place a </TD> tag at the end of each data cell. Your complete code looks like this:
