HTML Tables

HTML tables are used to organize and display data in a tabular format on web pages. They are created using a combination of HTML tags to define the structure and content of the table. Here’s a brief overview of the main elements used to create HTML tables:

<table>: This tag defines the beginning and end of the table.

<tr>: This tag defines a table row.

<th>: This tag defines a table header cell, which is typically bold and centered.

<td>: This tag defines a table data cell.

Here is a simple example of an HTML table:


<table border="1">
  <tr>
    <th>First Name</th>
    <th>Last Name</th>
    <th>Age</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>John</td>
    <td>Taylor</td>
    <td>35</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Tom</td>
    <td>Taylor</td>
    <td>30</td>
  </tr>
</table>

In this example:

The <table border="1"> element creates a table with a border.

The <tr> elements define rows in the table.

The first row uses <th> elements for headers: “First Name,” “Last Name,” and “Age.”

Subsequent rows use <td> elements for data cells, such as “John,” “Taylor,” and “35.”
