Table
A table
organizes data into rows and columns.
In HTML, you can create tables on a web page using the <table>
tag.
Basic Structure
The main tags for creating a table are as follows:
-
<table>
: Creates a table element -
<tr>
: Defines a row in a table. It stands for "table row." -
<td>
: Defines a data cell. It stands for "table data." -
<th>
: Defines a header cell. It is usually displayed in bold.
Example Usage
Below is a simple table example.
<table border="1"> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Age</th> <th>Occupation</th> </tr> <tr> <td>John</td> <td>25</td> <td>Developer</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Jane</td> <td>28</td> <td>Designer</td> </tr> </table>
This example creates a 3x3
table where the first row consists of header cells and the subsequent rows contain data cells.
Additional Table Tags
There are other tags available for more sophisticated table structures.

<thead>
: Groups the header content in a table -
<tbody>
: Groups the body content in a table -
<tfoot>
