HTML Tables

❮ Previous Next ❯

HTML tables allow web developers to arrange data into rows and columns.

Example

Company Contact Country Alfreds Futterkiste Maria Anders Germany Centro comercial Moctezuma Francisco Chang Mexico Ernst Handel Roland Mendel Austria Island Trading Helen Bennett UK Laughing Bacchus Winecellars Yoshi Tannamuri Canada Magazzini Alimentari Riuniti Giovanni Rovelli Italy Try it Yourself

Define an HTML Table

A table in HTML consists of table cells inside rows and columns.

Example

A simple HTML table:

table
tr
th Company /th
th Contact /th
th Country /th
/tr
tr
td Alfreds Futterkiste /td
td Maria Anders /td
td Germany /td
/tr
tr
td Centro comercial Moctezuma /td
td Francisco Chang /td
td Mexico /td
/tr
/table Try it Yourself

Table Cells

Each table cell is defined by a td and a /td tag.

td stands for table data.

Everything between td and /td is the content of a table cell.

Example

table
tr
td Emil /td
td Tobias /td
td Linus /td
/tr
/table Try it Yourself

Note: A table cell can contain all sorts of HTML elements: text, images, lists, links, other tables, etc.

Table Rows

Each table row starts with a tr and ends with a /tr tag.

tr stands for table row.

Example

table
tr
td Emil /td
td Tobias /td
td Linus /td
/tr
tr
td 16 /td
td 14 /td
td 10 /td
/tr
/table Try it Yourself

You can have as many rows as you like in a table; just make sure that the number of cells are the same in each row.

Note: There are times when a row can have less or more cells than another. You will learn about that in a later chapter.

Table Headers

Sometimes you want your cells to be table header cells. In those cases use the th tag instead of the td tag:

th stands for table header.

Example

Let the first row be table header cells:

table
tr
th Person 1 /th
th Person 2 /th
th Person 3 /th
/tr
tr
td Emil /td
td Tobias /td
td Linus /td
/tr
tr
td 16 /td
td 14 /td
td 10 /td
/tr
/table Try it Yourself

By default, the text in th elements are bold and centered, but you can change that with CSS.

HTML Table Tags

Tag Description table Defines a table th Defines a header cell in a table tr Defines a row in a table td Defines a cell in a table caption Defines a table caption colgroup Specifies a group of one or more columns in a table for formatting col Specifies column properties for each column within a colgroup element thead Groups the header content in a table tbody Groups the body content in a table tfoot Groups the footer content in a table
