Table Properties:
• Rows are horizontal and Columns are vertical.
• Cell Padding is the amount of space between the cell wall and the text/image in the cell.
• Cell Spacing is the amount of space between cells.
• Width of the table is either in Percent or in Pixels.
•• Percent: If you set your width at 90%, the table would always take up 90% of the window (it adjusts its size as the window size changes). The plus to choosing Percent is that the user will probably not need to scroll to see your entire table -- it will simply fill a certain percentage of their window.
•• Pixels: If you set your width at 600 pixels, your table will always be 600 pixels wide, no matter what size the window is. This is good if the size of your table is crucial to the layout (for instance, you have some text and images formatted to look a certain way). If you choose to have a table a specific number of pixels, it is best to keep it 800 pixels or less -- this will allow a fairly high portion of users to view your table without having to scroll (since 800x600 is a common monitor setting).
•Border sets the size of the lines of the table. A border of 0 (zero) will not show on the page (although you will see a dotted line around the table when you are editing the table in Dreamweaver).
