HTML Tables are very useful to arrange in HTML and they are also used very frequently by almost whole web developers community. Tables are just like excel spreadsheets and they are made-up of rows and columns. You will make a table in HTML/XHTML by using < table > tag. Inside < table > element the table is written out row by row. A row is organized inside a < tr > tag . which stands for table row. And each cell is then written inside the row element utilizing a < td > tag . which stands for table-data.
This element is used to define a table. Tables should be used to organize data. However, they are often used to provide structure for laying out pages in the absence of CSS.
- table defines the overall table, tr each row, and td each cell's data.
- tables are useful for displaying large row/column data sets.
