Definition:
In web development, an HTML table is an element used to display data in a tabular format of rows and columns on a web page. It allows you to organize and present information in a structured way, making it easier for users to read and comprehend the data. Tables are created using HTML tags and can include headers, data cells, and various formatting elements.
Syntax:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Header 1</th>
<th>Header 2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row 1, Cell 1</td>
<td>Row 1, Cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Row 2, Cell 1</td>
<td>Row 2, Cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>In this Structure:
<table>: Defines the start of the table.<tr>: Defines a table row. It contains one or more<th>(table header) or<td>(table data) elements.<th>: Represents a header cell in the table. Header cells are typically used for column or row labels.<td>: Represents a data cell in the table. Data cells contain the actual content of the table.
You can have multiple rows (<tr>) in a table, and within each row, you can have multiple header cells (<th>) and data cells (<td>).
Example:
HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=, initial-scale=1.0">
