HTML 5 <table> Tag, Definition of <table> tag in html5
In this discussion, We will introduce about the use of <table> tag in html5. This tag is used to create the table in the html document . Simple table can have any no of <th>(table header), <tr>(table row), <td>(table cell) tag. The <caption> tag defines the title of the table and used just after the <table> tag. The <caption> tag used only once for a <table> tag. The caption by default apears centered and above the table. There is no specific attribute of this tag and "align" attribute is not supported in html5.
Declaration Syntax:
| <table>Table Content </table> |
This tag have a "summary" attribute which specify the summary of the table. but we avoid the use of this attribute and use caption tag if summary required.
Example:table_tag.html
| <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Example of table tag</title> </head> <body> <table border="1"> <caption><b> Table</b></caption> <tr> <th>Employee</th> <th>DOB</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Gyan singh</td> <td>1-3-87</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Bikrant</td> <td>14-2-86</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> |
