Tables

What’s A Table?

• A table represents information in a grid format.
• Examples of tables include financial reports, TV schedules, and sport results.
• Grid allow us to understand complex data by referencing information on two axes.
• Each block in the grid is referred to as a table cell.
• In HTML, a table is written out row by row.

Basic Table Structure

• The <table element is used to create a table. The contents of the table are written out row by row.
• You indicate the start of each row using the opening <tr> tag.
• Each cell of a table is represented using a <td> element.
• The <th> element is used just like the <td> element but its purpose is to represent the heading for either a column or a row.

Long Tables

• The headings of the table should sit inside the <thead> element.
• The body should sit inside the <tbody> element.
• The footer belongs inside the <tfoot> element.
