💡 Key Idea

What is an HTML Table?

Organize data in rows and columns.

An HTML table is a structured way to display data in a grid of rows and columns. It is defined using the `<table>` element, which contains rows (`<tr>`) and cells (`<td>` for data, `<th>` for headers). Tables are ideal for presenting tabular information like schedules, pricing,...

↳ An HTML table is a grid of rows and columns built with `<table>`, `<tr>`, and `<td>`/`<th>`.

✏️ Example

Basic Table Structure

See a simple table in action.

This creates a table with two columns (Name and Age) and two data rows. The header row uses `<th>` to label each column.

↳ A basic table uses `<tr>` for rows and `<th>`/`<td>` for header/data cells.

💡 Key Idea

Table Sections: thead, tbody, tfoot

Group rows for clarity and styling.

Tables can be divided into semantic sections: `<thead>` (header rows), `<tbody>` (body rows), and `<tfoot>` (footer rows). This improves accessibility and allows separate styling or scrolling of the body.

↳ Use `<thead>`, `<tbody>`, and `<tfoot>` to structure table content semantically.
