An HTML table is contained between the tags
<table>
and
</table>
. The table
is made up of a series of rows, which are contained between the
<tr>
and
</tr>
tags.
Each table row contains several columns, each of which is contained between the
<td>
and
</td>
tags. Additionally, some tables have header columns which are contained between
<th>
and
</th>
tags.
The HTML for the states table is shown below.
<table border="1">

<th>Name</th>
