HTML04: Tables

the tag for define a table in a page is <table>. A table consist of row and columns. As you may know, row is the horizontal line of records, and columns are the vertical ones. Each row has contains column cells. In a table first we must create a table, and inside these table we create column cells.

To define row in a table<tr> and to specify the data in each row <td> tag is ised. Also <th> is used to heading of the column

for example:

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Fruits</th>
        <th>Quantity</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
         <td>Apples</td>
         <td>3 box</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Orange</td>
        <td>2 box</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>Grapes</td>
        <td>4 box</td>
    </tr>
</table>


this will produce following table:

Fruits Quantity
Apples3 box
Orange2 box
Grapes4 box

The output don't have border. To draw border include border attribute <table border = "1">, all the borders in table will be displayed

Fruits Quantity
Apples3 box
Orange2 box
Grapes4 box

To merge cell of rows of same column, use rowspan attribute. the value given to the rowspan is number of cells to merge.

<table border = "1">
  <tr><td>Apples</td><td>3 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td rowspan="2">Orange</td><td>2 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td>4 box</td></tr>
</table>
Apples3 box
Orange2 box
4 box

To merge cells of column is same row. use colspan attribute. Example below merges  2 cell in same row.

<table border = "1">
  <tr><td>Apples</td><td>3 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td colspan = "2">Orange</td></tr>
  <tr><td>Grapes</td><td>4 box</td></tr>
</table>
Apples3 box
Orange
Grapes4 box

Adding a caption to table, a <caption> tag is used to give a short description about the table.
<table border = "1">
  <caption>Fruit stock</caption>
  <tr><td>Apples</td><td>3 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td rowspan="2">Orange</td><td>2 box</td></tr>
  <tr><td>4 box</td></tr>
</table>
Fruit stock
Apples3 box
Orange
Grapes4 box
