You would want to use CSS to achieve that.

say you have a table with the attribute id="my_table"

You would want to write the following in your css file

#my_table{
    margin-top:10px //moves your table 10pixels down
    margin-left:10px //moves your table 10pixels right
}

if you do not have a CSS file then you may just add margin-top:10px, margin-left:10px to the style attribute in your table element like so

<table style="margin-top:10px; margin-left:10px;">
    ....
</table>

There are a lot of resources on the net describing CSS and HTML in detail

As BalausC mentioned in a comment  you are probably looking for CSS  Cascading Style Sheets  not HTML attributes   To position an element  a  lt table gt  in your case you want to use either padding or margins   the difference between margins and paddings can be seen as the  box model      Image from HTML Dog article on margins and padding http   www htmldog com guides cssbeginner margins    I highly recommend the article above if you need to learn how to use CSS   To move the table down and right I would use margins like so   table      margin 25px 0 0 25px      This is in shorthand so the margins are as follows   margin  top right bottom left
