Structuring Tabular Data


HTML supports tables with the use of the <table> element. Tables allow you to organize and present data in a structured and visually appealing manner, much like digital spreadsheets.

Here’s what you need to know:

  1. Table Basics (<table>): HTML’s <table> element serves as your canvas.
  2. Table Headers (<th>): Just as spreadsheet columns have titles, tables have headers. The <th> creates a header.
  3. Table Rows (<tr>): Rows are the backbone of tabular data.

Using table elements:

Step 1: Creating Tables

Begin by using the <table> element to create a table. This foundational step sets the stage for representing your tabular data:

<table> <!-- Table rows and cells will go here --> </table>

Step 2: Adding Headers

Provide clear labels for each column by using the <th> element within a <tr> (table row). These column headers enhance understanding:

<tr> <th>Product</th> <th>Price</th> <th>Availability</th> </tr>

Step 3: Filling Rows

Populate rows with data cells using the <tr> and <td> (table data) elements. Each <td> represents a data point within the table:

<tr>
    <td>Laptop</td>
    <td>$899</td>
    <td>In Stock</td>
</tr>
