Table tags in HTML

HTML Table

To display a group of data in a tabular form the HTML table tag is used. To serve this purpose the HTML <table> element is used, with <tr> tag to define the table row, <th> tag to define the table header and the <td> tag to define the table data. However, to manage the layout of the page like the header section and the footer section, the use of div tag over the table element is recommended.

 

HTML Table Tags:

TAG USES
<table> To define a table.
<tr> To define a row in a table.
<th> To define a header cell in a table.
<td> To define a cell in a table.
<caption> To define the table caption.
<colgroup> To specify a group of one or more columns in a table for formatting.
<col> To specify column properties for each column. Used with the <colgroup> element.
<tbody> To group the body content in a table.
<thead> To group the header content in a table.
<tfooter> To group the footer content in a table.
