Creating a Table in HTML
To create a table in HTML the <TABLE> tag is used. Each table begins with a <TABLE> tag and
ends with </TABLE> tag. You can define various attributes of a table inside the <TABLE> tag as
given below:
• Each row in a table begins with the <TR> table row tag and ends with the </TR> tag. The
rows must always be inside the <TABLE> tag.
• The columns contain cells, each of which begins with the <TD> table data tag and ends with
the <TD> tag. The <TD> tag must always be present inside the row tags <TR>.
• To specify a column heading, you use the <TH> tag that also ends with the <TH> tag. It
makes the text bold. The <CAPTION> tag is used to specify the title for the table.
