The table HTML Tag

table HTML: Main Tips

• The <table> element describes an HTML table.
• The <table> element contains <tr>, <th>, and <td> elements.
• It can also contain optional <tbody>, <tfoot>, <col>, <thead>, <colgroup> and <caption> elements.
• This tag supports global attributes in HTML.

Defining a Table in HTML

By using table HTML tags, you can include a table with rows and columns in the web page:

<table>
  <tr>
    <th>Place</th>
    <th>Animal</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Space</td>
    <td>Dog</td>
  </tr>
</table>

To style your table, you can use CSS properties. If you don't, these values will be set by default:

table { 
    display: table;
    border-color: gray;
    border-collapse: separate;
    border-spacing: 2px;
}
