bookCreating and Structuring HTML Tables

Tables in HTML are used to display data in rows and columns, providing a structured way to organize information.

Creating Tables

Use the <table> tag to create a table. Rows are defined with <tr> and cells with <td>. Here's the basic structure:

index.html

  • <table> creates the table;
  • <tr> creates a row;
  • <td> creates a cell inside a row.

Table Headers

Use <th> for column or row headings. Header cells usually go inside a <thead> section.
