WML - Tables



The <table> element along with <tr> and <td> is used to create a table in WML. WML does not allow the nesting of tables

A <table> element should be put with-in <p>...</p> elements.

The <table /> element supports the following attributes:

AttributeValueDescription
columnsnumberSets the number of columns in the table
align
  • L
  • C
  • R
To specify the horizontal text alignment of the columns, you need to assign three letters to the align attribute. Each letter represents the horizontal text alignment of a column. The letter can be L, C, or R. For example, if you want the following settings to be applied to your table:
  • First table column -- Left-aligned

  • Second table column -- Center-aligned

  • Third table column -- Right-aligned

Then you should set the value of the align attribute to LCR.

xml:langlanguage_codeSets the language used in the element
classclass dataSets a class name for the element.
idelement IDA unique ID for the element.

Following is the example showing usage of <table> element.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.2//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml12.dtd">

<wml>

<card title="WML Tables">
<p>
<table columns="3" align="LCR">
	<tr>
	  <td>Col 1</td>
	  <td>Col 2</td>
	  <td>Col 3</td>
	</tr>

	<tr>
	  <td>A</td>
	  <td>B</td>
	  <td>C</td>
	</tr>

	<tr>
	  <td>D</td>
	  <td>E</td>
	  <td>F</td>
	</tr>
</table>
</p>
</card>

</wml>

This will produce the following result:
