HTML - Tables
Tables are defined with the <table> tag.
A table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag), and each row is divided into data cells (with the &tl;td&tg; tag). td stands for "table data," and holds the content of a data cell. A &tl;td&tg; tag can contain text, links, images, lists, forms, other tables, etc.
Table Example:
<table>
<tr>
<td>Color>/td><td>Black</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Color>/td><td>White</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Fruits</td><td>Apple</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Fruits</td><td>Strawberry</td>
</tr>
</table>
The HTML Code above looks in browser:
| Color | Black |
| Color | White |
| Fruits | Apple |
| Fruits | Strawberry |
If you do not specify a border attribute, the table will be displayed without borders. Sometimes this can be useful, but most of the time, we want the borders to show.
To display a table with borders, specify the border attribute:
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>Row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
Header information in a table are defined with the <th> tag.
The text in a th element will be bold and centered.
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Header 1</th>
<th>Header 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row 2, cell 1</td>
<td>row 2, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
How the HTML code above looks in a browser:
| Header 1 |
Header 2 |
| row 1, cell 1 |
row 1, cell 2 |
| row 2, cell 1 |
row 2, cell 2 |
