The <table>
tag defines an HTML table.
Each table row is defined with a <tr>
tag. Each table header is defined with a <th>
tag. Each table data/cell is defined with a <td>
tag.
By default, the text in <th>
elements are bold and centered.
By default, the text in <td>
elements are regular and left-aligned.
The basic structure of an HTML table consists of the following tags:
Constructing an HTML table consists of describing the table between the beginning table tag, <TABLE>, and the ending table table tag, </TABLE>. Between these tags, you then construct each row and each cell in the row. To do this, you would first start the row with the beginning row tag, <TR>, and then build the row by creating each cell with the beginning cell tag, <TD>, adding the data for that cell, and then closing the cell with the ending cell tag, </TD>. When you finish all of the cells for a row, you would then close the row with the ending row tag, </TR>.Then, for each new row, you would repeat the process of beginning the row, building each cell in the row, and closing the row.
