Defining an HTML Table
An HTML table is defined with the <table> tag.
Each table row is defined with the <tr> tag. Inside a row there may be table headers or table data.
- A table header is defined with the
<th>tag. By default, table headings are bold and centered. - A table data/cell is defined with the
<td>tag.
A more complex HTML table may also include <caption>, <col>, <colgroup>, <thead>, <tfoot>, and <tbody> elements in it.
Simple Table Example
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
