Table controls are just controlling factors in the make up of the table, these are:

• BGCOLOR="#000000" - This will give each cell in your table a background colour, it is possible to give each Row a different colour.
• WIDTH="50%" - This sets the width of the coloumn as a percentage, this one will take up half of the page.
• BORDER="20" - This sets the width of the border, this setting will give it a border of 20 pixels.
• CELLSPACING="10" - This sets the vertical and horizontal distance between each cell.
• CELLPADDING="10" - This sets the vertical space each cell's text has.
• BORDERCOLOR="#008000" - This will set the colour of the border.
• ALIGN="CENTER" - This sets where the table will be positioned on the page, you can also use left and right.

Here is a table using some of the controls mentioned above.
