### 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
|
|
```html
|
|
<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>
|
|
```
