Question

What are the various tags used in table . Explain with an example.

Answer 1

The <tr> element defines a table row, the <th> element defines a table header, and the <td> element defines a table cell. A more complex HTML table may also include <caption>, <col>, <colgroup>, <thead>, <tfoot>, and <tbody> elements. Note: Tables should not be used for page layout!

Answer 2

Various tags used in table are <TR> <TD> <TH>.

Explanation:

<TR> - Table Row

<TD> - Table Data

<TH> - Table heading

Eg:

<TABLE>

<TR>

<TH> Subject </TH>

<TH>Number of Staff</TH>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD>English</TD>

<TD>15</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD>Tamil</TD>

<TD>12</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD>Mathematics</TD>

<TD>10</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD>Science</TD>

<TD>18</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<TD>Social</TD>

<TD>8</TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

So here <TH> tag will automatically print the text with bold font. <TD> will represent the data and <TR> will create rows. You can also create table with any number of rows and columns with the help of tags described in the answer. You can include attributes to provide back colour, text colour, etc.
