Answer 3

+18 A:

You have two options for table cells: TD or TH.

TH = Table Header

TD = Table Data.

Both are table cells.

Here is a link to the HTML 4.01 Specification that defines them: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.6 (and refers to TH and TD as 'header' and 'data' cells - for the benefit of iyerrag).
