HOW TO MAKE TABLE IN HTML PAGE?

Hello friends, today we gain knowledge about making tables in HTML .Tables are widely use in internet , in websites to make students report card,to make government officer data etc.

An HTML table is a rectangular grid of rows and columns on a Web page, into which you can enter all kinds of information , including text , number , links and even images. A table  is a rectangular arrangement of rows and columns on your screen.

ROW: A single line of data that runs across the table.

COLUMN: A single vertical section of data.

CELL: The intersection of a row and column forms a cell. The cell are where  you enter the data that appear in the table .

CAPTION: This is the text that appear  above the table and is used to describe the content of the table. 

HEADER:The first row of the table . The header are optional.

BORDER:These are the lines that surround the table and each cell.

Each table cell is self contained . You can edit and format the content of a cell without disturbing the arrangement of the other table elements. The text ' warp' inside each cell , making it a snap to create multiple line  entries . Tables can include not only the text , but image  and links as well.Most text tags ( such as <B>,<I>,<H1>,etc.) can be used inside a table ,so you can format the table to suit your needs.

            

            CREATING A ONE -ROW TABLE

A Table always begins with the following basic container:

  <Table>  </Table>

      All the other tags are written between these tow tags :There are two things that you need to know about the <TABLE>ta:

      

      If you want your table to show a border,use the <TABLE BORDER>tag  instead of <TABLE>.If you don`t want a border,just use <TABLE>.

   

            Adding a row: To add a row ,use <TR>(tablerow)tag and a</TR>tag between <TABLE>and </TABLE> tags.For                                                  

 example:

<TABLE BORDER><TR></TR></TABLE BORDER>

    Now you can create columns by placing the <TD>(table data)and </TD>tags between <TR>and</TR>. Each <TD></TD> combination represents one column (or an individual cell in the row),so if you want a three-column table,you should type as follows:

<TABLE BORDER>

<TR>

<TD></TD><TD></TD><TD></TD></TR></TABLE>

 you can put any of the following within the <TD>and</TD>tags:

1. TEXT
2. HTML text-formatting tags (such as <B>and<I>)
3. Links
4. Lists
5. Images.
