ROW BACKGROUNDS
If we are making changes to all the cells in a row, rather than putting code into each cell, we can put the coding in our row tags. Let's use our demonstration table again, this time without borders on the cells: Let's say we want to place a background color in the heading row, we simply add the background-color attribute to the beginning row tag like so: 

Our table will now look like this:

CHANGING FONT-FAMILY IN ROWS

 * If you are going to change the font-family in all the cells in a row, install the code in the row tag. Here we will add it to the background attribute like so:

CHANGING FONT-SIZE IN ROWS
 
 * To change the font-size in a row, install the code in the row tag. Here we will add it to the above changes like so:

CHANGING TEXT COLOR IN ROWS

CHANGING HEIGHT OF ROWS

CHANGING COLUMNS
TRY THESE OUT. . . ..

 Exercises
