BASIC HTML 101

Overall HTML format: Tables



Note: use View, Document Source to see the HTML to create these tables.

Note: not all browsers support tables, but they can be very useful in positioning text and graphics on a page.



Tables can have any number of columns and rows.

R1C1 R1C2 R1C3
R2C2 R2C2 R2C3
R3C2 R3C2 R3C3

The same table without borders looks like this:

R1C1 R1C2 R1C3
R2C2 R2C2 R2C3
R3C2 R3C2 R3C3

Tables, like other HTML elements, can also be centered on the page.
Not confused? OK, note that tables can contain tables:

T1R1C1 T1R1C2 T1R1C3
T1R2C2 T1R2C2 T1R2C3
T1R3C2 T1R3C2
T2R1C1 T2R1C2 T2R1C3
T2R2C2 T2R2C2 T2R2C3
T2R3C2 T2R3C2
T3R1C1 T3R1C2 T3R1C3
T3R2C2 T3R2C2 T3R2C3
T3R3C2 T3R3C2 T3R3C3

Additionally, Tables can have a variety of other specifiable attributes described in various quick references, such as...

a HEADER that spans all columns
