Table -> row -> cell

You can put as many cells as you need in a row, and as many rows as you need in the table.

Code:

[table][tr][td]1[/td][td]a[/td][/tr]
[tr][td]2[/td][td]b[/td][/tr][/table]

Outcome:

1	a
2	b

So, tr is row, and td is cell?

I've been wondering this too for a long time.

oooooooh, i get it now, thanks a lot. maybe you should put a sticky or something to tell people how to use this? because it's somewhat confusing

Not a bad idea, but how often do you see people using tabes?

People don't use them often but it is simple HTML and can be useful at times..

I dunno..maybe its cause I program in CSS where i dont need tables...but I find tables to be extremly EVIL!!! So hard to edit when dealing with them!

Tables are extremely useful for data organizing, though not for designs.

tr means a table row.
td means a table datacell.

It's Simple

Always start with the "table" tags.

Code:

[table][/table]

Then put "tr" tags in them

Code:

[table][tr][/tr][/table]

Than put as much "td" tags as you want on one row
don't forget to close your tags!

Code:

[table][tr][td][/td][/tr][/table]

That will show

One Little Rectangle

To add more cells on one row, do this

Code:

[table][tr][td][/td][td][/td][/tr][/table]

that will give you:

1 cell

2cell

You can add more cells between [/td] and -->
