How to create tables in HTML?

HTML tables allow us to arrange data into rows and columns on the web page.

We use the <table> tag, to create table in HTML. A table consist of rows and columns. Table heading, row and column and table data can be set using one or more <th>, <tr>, and <td> elements.

  • A table row is defined by the <tr> tag. To set table header,we use <th> tag. To insert data in table cell, use the <td> tag.

  • A table in HTML consists of table cells inside rows and columns of the table.

  • Table heading is defined by the <th>...</th>. Data inside the <th> are the headings of the column of a table.

  • Each table cell is defined by a <td>...</td> tag. Data inside the <td> tag are the content of the table rows and columns.

  • Each table row starts with a <tr> ....</tr> tag.

  • We use style sheet to create border for the table.

Example

Following is an example program to create table in HTML. 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <style>
      table, th, td {
         border:1px solid green;
      }
   </style>
<body>
   <h2>Count</h2>
   <table>
   <tr>
      <th>Monday</th>
      <th>Tuesday</th>
      <th>Wednesday</th>
      <th>Thursday</th>
      <th>Friday</th>
      <th>Saturday</th>
      <th>Sunday</th>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>12</td>
      <td>28</td>
      <td>28</td>
      <td>28</td>
      <td>28</td>
      <td>28</td>
      <td>28</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>35</td>
      <td>21</td>
      <td>34</td>
      <td>00</td>
      <td>8</td>
      <td>75</td>
      <td>24</td>
   </tr>
</body>
</html>

Example

Following is another example program to create table in HTML.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <style>
      table, th, td {
         border:1px solid black;
      }
   </style>
<body>
   <h2>Tables in HTML</h2>
   <table>
      <tr>
         <th>Name</th>
         <th>RollNo</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>Jason</td>
         <td>28</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>Yadav</td>
         <td>22</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>Abdul</td>
         <td>25</td></tr>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>Abdul</td>
         <td>25</td></tr>
      </tr>
   </table>
</body>
</html>

Now we try to extend our table to our browser tab size using style attribute.

Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <style>
      table, th, td {
         border:1px solid black;
      }
   </style>
<body>
   <h2>Tables in HTML</h2>
   <table style="width: 100%">
      <tr>
         <th>Name</th>
         <th>RollNo</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>Jason</td>
         <td>28</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>Yadav</td>
         <td>22</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>Abdul</td>
         <td>25</td></tr>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td>Abdul</td>
         <td>25</td></tr>
      </tr>
   </table>
</body>
</html>
