Defining HTML Tables


Example
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>

Example explained:

Tables are defined with the <table> tag.


Tables are divided into table rows with the <tr> tag.

Table rows are divided into table data with the <td> tag.

A table row can also be divided into table headings with the <th> tag.

Table data <td> are the data containers of the table.


They can contain all sorts of HTML elements like text, images, lists, other tables, etc.

An HTML Table with a Border Attribute


If you do not specify a border for the table, it will be displayed without borders.

A border can be added using the border attribute:

Example
<table border="1" style="width:100%">
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>

To add borders, use the CSS border property:

Example
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
}

Remember to define borders for both the table and the table cells.
An HTML Table with Collapsed Borders
If you want the borders to collapse into one border, add CSS border-collapse:

Example
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}

An HTML Table with Cell Padding


Cell padding specifies the space between the cell content and its borders.

If you do not specify a padding, the table cells will be displayed without padding.

To set the padding, use the CSS padding property:

Example
table, th, td {
border: 1px solid black;
border-collapse: collapse;
}
th,td {
padding: 15px;
}

HTML Table Headings


Table headings are defined with the <th> tag.

By default, all major browsers display table headings as bold and centered:

Example
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Points</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
