Answer 4

NO! no bgcolor. That's old and deprecated. Use stylesheets.

external css would be

table {
background-color: #fefefe;
border: 1px solid #000;
}

Answer 6

It is highly recommended to style your document through CSS rules and not through HTML attributes. To put background color to a table you must style the cell directly. For example, if you want to style th and td elements, use the background property through a CSS rule applied to these selectors.
Example:
th, td { background-color: blue: color: #fff; }
