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>

Table Cells
Each table cell is defined by a
<td> and a </td> tag.

td
stands for table data.

Everything between <td> and </td> are the content of the table cell.

Example

<table> 
<tr>    <td>Emil</td>
    <td>Tobias</td>     <td>Linus</td>
 
</tr></table>

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>

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>

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