Tables used to be the way that almost all web pages were designed. But today many designers use divs or other methods for laying out web pages.
Still, tables can help beginning designers distribute information evenly. Tables serve as a grid that images and text can be made to fit into.
Borders and background colors are used to make tables visually appealing.
Table Tags |
|
| Tag | Use |
<table> |
The <table> tag determines the start and end of a table. You can specify the entire width of the table, whether the table has a border, and the spacing to place between table cells. |
<caption> |
The <caption> tag places a text heading above the table, which labels the table for reference. For instance, a table containing a third-quarter financial report might have a caption of Q3 Financials. |
<tr> |
The <tr> tag defines the start and end of a table row. |
<th> |
The <th> tag defines a table header, which acts as a label for a group of table cells, whether they are in a row or a column. |
<td> |
The <td> tag defines a standard table cell. |
