TRUE or FALSE: Cellspacing and cellpadding are properties of the cell that exist even if the border is OFF or set to zero
True
False

When specified in the '<TABLE>' tag, which of the following attributes are recommendations only, i.e., they can be overidden by browser calculations?

<TABLE WIDTH=5 CELLPADDING=10 ><TR><TD>wowza!</TD></TR></TABLE>
<TABLE BORDER=10 WIDTH=50% ><TR><TD>wowsa!</TD></TR></TABLE>

When the browser encounters a long text passage in a table's cell, what does it do?

TRUE or FALSE: When 'HEIGHT' and 'WIDTH' are specified, and if a cell has a lot of text, the browser still has to stay within the specified cell dimensions
True
False

When sizing a table's cells, the minimum requirement for specifying all cells is:
specify 'HEIGHT' and 'WIDTH' for every cell
specify 'HEIGHT' for one cell in each row, and 'WIDTH' for one cell in each column
Specify 'WIDTH' for all heading cells, and 'HEIGHT' for all remaining cells

<TABLE> <TR> <TD>stuff</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD>      </TD> </TR> </TABLE>
