What is best HTML Table Generator Available?

I am looking for an html table generator software program that covers just about every conceivable option and flavor of table making. Obviously, I'd prefer a free one, but would pay for a good one.

Ones already considered have been:

My free website builder (complete html editor including tables; it's free by Ewen Chia) and a $15 product: Easy HTML Construction Kit. Both are far better than the typical online generator with 6 entries, but I am so inept at coding that I really need something that does it all.

Thanks.

None of the googled ones are ok for you?

Here is the first one

Alternative is to write xml and give it a stylesheet...

What is the actual input to this table?

I have a website and need to create many tables, but I have no formal training with html, css, etc. Just what I've picked up to survive. It seems that every time I go to create a table, it takes me a long time, and since I use Firefox, it looks alright there but not on Internet Explorer. I'm looking for a software package that can provide options or choices for the various parameters (for example border style), display the HTML-generated code, and provide a preview for what the table would look like on the browser.

It seems whichever one I investigate and get excited about seems to be missing one or more components that I feel are important. The two packages I have mentioned in the question both have a lot of the features that I am looking for but neither of them has all of them.

try Komposer or NVU

after looking at Komposer, it was apparently used as 99% of the model for the my free website builder software mentioned earlier.

right...

The primary issue I have with the software is it doesn't provide any drop down or options for the border's line style. I'm unfamiliar with CSS and after taking the software-generated code, I tried changing it to create dashed lines rather than solid, but couldn't figure it out.

I also have not figured out how to use it without having the cell borders display when used ON MY ACTUAL WEB PAGE.

I you're familiar with Komposer, would you know how to do this?

Thanks.
