HTML Tables


In our last tutorial we discussed how to create different types of frames and position them on the page. We also covered the various types of lists we can create. And I even let you in on a little recipe in my plot to make you fatter than me. In this tutorial we will go over tables (you will need a place to put that dinner I told you how to make after all) and how to insert them into your web pages.

HTML Tables - Headings in Tables
(Page 2 of 7 )

So far we have used tables and created the semblance of a column header. In reality, you create column headers with the <th> tag, like so:


<html>

<body>

<table border="1">

<tr>

<th>Cool People</th>

<th>Nerds</th>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>James Payne</td>

<td>You</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

Which displays:



Cool People

Nerds

James Payne

You

Creating a Table Caption

If you want to create a caption for your table, you can do so using the <caption> tag:


<html>

<body>

<table border="2">

<caption>Hey...I'm a Caption</caption>

<tr>

<td>Red</td>

<td>Yellow</td>

<td>Blue</td>

<td>Green</td>

<td>Orange</td>

<td>Purple</td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

Here is the table with the caption:

  Hey...I'm a Caption

Red

Yellow

Blue

Green

Orange

Purple
