Tables on Steroids, Mates!

Gentlemen,
You learned the basics of coding tables by hand the other day.
Today, let's spice up the table design and add:
a) summary
b) title
c) padding
d) spacing
e) font color
f) background color for the page
g) background color for the table

Typically, we let CSS handle the colors, padding, and spacing, but I need to illustrate the concepts of padding and spacing, and its easier to do with color involved.

Your table should look like this (but you can pick your own color scheme, provided it is readable)

Make sure you validate your code and show me the table when you are finished.

The complete assignment is listed on the Sunday/Monday blog entry for this week.
