Bill Kennelly's HTML Tag Reference
TD - table data
Description
The TD tag specifies text in a cell in a table. Use the TD tag inside a TR tag inside a TABLE tag. You can set the background color of a cell by specifying its BGCOLOR attribute. For each cell, you can use the COLSPAN and ROWSPAN attributes to specify how many columns and rows the cell spans.
