  • By default, the table is displayed without a frame.
  • If the table width is not specified, it is to fit the contents of the cells.
  • It is possible that unnecessary empty spaces arise between table cells. This is due to the fact that the transfer of HTML code in lines automatically and creates extra space in the table. To get rid of this, place the code inside the <TR> tag in one line.
