Colgroup HTML

HTML <colgroup> Tag

To define a group of columns within an HTML table, the HTML <colgroup> tag is used. It is also used to apply different properties in an HTML table, where the HTML <colgroup> tag acts as a parent container of one or more <col> elements. The <colgroup> tag is placed after the <caption> tag within the <table> element. It is placed before the <th> or <td> elements.
