    There is no difference, they do the same thing. 

    CREATE TRIGGER trgTable on dbo.Table FOR INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE

    Is the same as

    CREATE TRIGGER trgTable on dbo.Table AFTER INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE

    An INSTEAD OF trigger is different, and fires before and instead of the insert and can be used on views, in order to insert the appropriate values into the underlying tables.
