HyperText Markup Language/Tag List/table

Use edit

The table tag is for creating a table in the HTML code. It is a simple way of organising a large amount of data. With the attributes the user can manipulate the table to create a table that suits the webpage.

Example edit

This is an example of the layout coding for a basic table:

<table border="1" align="center">
  <tr>
    <th>Hundredths</th> <th>Tenths</th> <th>Ones</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Seven</td><td>Eight</td><td>Three</td>
  </tr>
</table>

This is what the table looks like on the webpage:

Hundredths	Tenths	Ones
Seven	Eight	Three

Required attributes edit
