Creating a Table in html

Tables work a lot like HTML list tags, in that you must use the table container tag to hold together a group of tags that define each individual row. The main container is the <TABLE> tag, which uses enclosing tags for table rows (<TR>) and table data (<TD>). Most tables will also use an element for table headers (<TH>) which is generally used as the title text for rows and columns.
Tables take the following format:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>Caption text for table</CAPTION>
<TR><TH>column1</TH><TH>column2</TH><TH>column3</TH>
<TR><TD>row1data1</TD><TD>row1data2</TD><TD>row1data3</TD>
<TR><TD>row2data1</TD><TD>row2data2</TD><TD>row2data3</TD>
...
</TABLE>

An example of a table using this format might be the following:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>Team Members for 3-Person Basketball</CAPTION>
<TR><TH>Blue Team</TH><TH>Red Team</TH><TH>Green Team</TH>
<TR><TD>Mike R.</TD><TD>Leslie M.</TD><TD>Rick G.</TD>
<TR><TD>Julie M.</TD><TD>Walter R.</TD><TD>Dale W.</TD>
<TR><TD>Bill H.</TD><TD>Jenny Q.</TD><TD>Fred B.</TD>
</TABLE>

After you work with HTML list containers, it's fairly easy to make the jump to creating tables in HTML
