HTML Tables

Basic HTML Table Structure

Tables in HTML are used to organize and display data in a structured format using rows and columns. The basic structure of an HTML table includes the following elements:

• <table>: This tag defines the start and end of the table.
• <thead>: This section contains the header row(s) of the table, typically used for column titles.
• <tbody>: This section contains the main body of the table, where the actual data rows are placed.
• <tfoot>: This section contains the footer row(s) of the table, often used for summary information or totals.
• <tr>: This tag defines a table row. It is used within <thead>, <tbody>, and <tfoot> to create rows.
• <th>: This tag defines a header cell within a row. It is typically used in the first row of the table to label columns.
• <td>: This tag defines a standard data cell within a row. It is used to hold the actual data in the table.
