The <TABLE> tag is used to create a table in HTML. Each table begins with a <TABLE> tag and ends with the </TABLE> tag. You can define various attributes of a table inside the <TABLE> tag as given below:
| Table tag | Type: |
Container tag Function: To create a table on a web page Syntax: <TABLE>_</TABLE> Used within tags: <BODY> |
|---|
The columns contain cells, each of which begins with the <TD> (table data) tag and ends with </TD>tag. The <TD> tag must always be present inside the <TR> tag.
To specify a column heading, we use the <TH>tag that also ends with </TH> tag. It makes the text bold.
The <CAPTION>tag is used inside the <TABLE>tag to specify the caption of the table.
< THEAD>, <TBODY>, and <TFOOT> tags are also used to define the specific sections of a table.
