Tables How to create tables in an HTML document. (You can find more examples at the bottom of this page).

HTML Tables
Tables are defined with the <table> tag. A table is divided into rows (with the <tr> tag), and each row is divided into data cells (with the <td> tag). td stands for "table data," and holds the content of a data cell. A <td> tag can contain text, links, images, lists, forms, other tables, etc.

Table Example
< t a b l eb o r d e r = " 1 " > < t r > < t d > r o w1 ,c e l l1 < / t d > < t d > r o w1 ,c e l l2 < / t d > < / t r > < t r > < t d > r o w2 ,c e l l1 < / t d > < t d > r o w2 ,c e l l2 < / t d > < / t r > < / t a b l e >
