Editing Table Properties:
When you have a table in your web page, Dreamweaver MX 2004 will allow you to edit the table in many ways. By using the Properties palette, you can modify different aspects of your table.

In order to edit your table using the Properties palette, you must select your table. You can select the table by clicking on its outer border. Additionally, you may right-click inside the table and select “Select Table” from the menu. This leaves less chance for error in accidentally resizing your table by clicking on its border. Once it is selected, you'll notice that the Properties window has changed its appearance to show that it is now ready to edit your table.

1. Table ID:
   Allows you to name a table.
2. Rows:
   The number of rows that the table contains.
3. Cols:
   The number of columns that the table contains.
4. Width:
   The width of the table, represented by a number.
5. Height:
   The height of the table, represented by a number.
6. Pixels/Percentage:
   The height/width, represented by a number, to be in either pixels or percentages of the total page size.
7. CellPad:
   The space between the items inside a cell and the cell’s borders.
8. CellSpace:
   The space between cells, themselves.
9. Align:
   The alignment of the table (left, center, right).
10. Border:
    The width of the table’s border (zero/0 for no border).
11. Class:
    The CSS style that the table will adhere to.
12. Column Width/Height Quick-Clicks:
    Allows for quick formatting / changing of the table’s height and width attributes.
13. BG Color (Color Chooser):
    Choose the table’s background color with the eyedropper tool.
14. BG Color (Hex):
    Choose the table’s background color via the hex number.
15. Border Color (Color Chooser):
    Choose the table’s border color with the eyedropper tool.
16. Border Color (Hex):
    Choose the table’s border color via the hex number.
17. BG Image:
    Choose a background image for the table.

All of the fields in the Properties palette for tables are pretty much the same fields you see when you first insert a table. There are some additions, though. You can adjust the alignment of the content in the tables, add background or border colors to the table, add background images, and fine-tune the dimensions of the table. You can also go back and edit the number of rows and columns in your table, adjust the width and height in pixels or percent, and modify the cell padding, cell spacing, and border.
