How to create a Table


Tables are defined with the <table> tag.
Tables are divided into table rows with the <tr> tag.
Table rows are divided into table data with the <td> tag.
A table row can also be divided into table headings with the <th> tag.
To add a caption to a table, use the <caption> tag:

Try the following examples in Notepad


Sample Code of Table
<html>
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>
An HTML Table with a Border Attribute

Sample Code
<html>
<table border="1" style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
</html>

HTML Table Headings and Table Cells that Span Many Columns
To make a cell span more than one column, use the colspan attribute:
Sample Code
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th colspan="2">Telephone</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Bill Gates</td>
<td>555 77 854</td>
<td>555 77 855</td>
</tr>
</table>
Table Cells that Span Many Rows
To make a cell span more than one row, use the rowspan attribute:
Sample Code
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th>Name:</th>
<td>Bill Gates</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th rowspan="2">Telephone:</th>
<td>555 77 854</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>555 77 855</td>
</tr>
</table>
An HTML Table With a Caption
Sample Code
<table border =3 style="width:100%">
<caption>Monthly savings</caption>
<tr>
<th>Month</th>
<th>Savings</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>January</td>
<td>$100</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>February</td>
<td>$50</td>

</tr>
</table>

Use the CSS padding property to add padding to cells
Use the CSS text-align property to align cell text

<style>
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table style="width:100%">

<html>
<head>
<style>
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th, td {
padding: 15px;
}
</style>
