Introduction

The HTML <table> element allows web authors to display tabular data (such as text, images, links, other tables, etc.) in a two dimensional table with rows and columns of cells.

Syntax

• <table></table>
• <thead></thead>
• <tbody></tbody>
• <tfoot></tfoot>
• <tr></tr>
• <th></th>
• <td></td>

Remarks

The various table elements and their content attributes together define the table model. The <table> element is the container element for table models/tabular data. Tables have rows, columns, and cells given by their descendants. The rows and columns form a grid; a table’s cells must completely cover that grid without overlap. The list below describes the various elements in the table model:

• <table> - The container element for table models/tabular data. <table> represents data with more than one dimension in the form of a table.
• <caption> - Table caption or title (Like a figcaption to a figure)
• <col> - A column (a no-content element)
• <colgroup> - A grouping of columns
• <thead> - Table header (only one)
• <tbody> - Table body / content (multiple are okay)
• <tfoot> - Table footer (only one)
• <tr> - Table row
