Table in HTML 5

Introduction

Table is used to display some data in a tabular, rows and columns format. 

Syntax for creating table is given below

<table>
<tr>
<th>Table_Header1</th>
<th>Table_Header2</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Cell_One</td>
<td>Cell_Two</td>
</tr>
</table>

Here, <table> tag defines the Table, <tr> tag defines Table Row, <th> tag defines Table Header(Column Header) and <td> tag defines Table Column.

Now, we use these code to create a table by writing following code

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<table>
<tr>
    <th>Name</th>
    <th>Subject</th>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>A. Kumar</td>
    <td>HTML</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>B. Kumar</td>
    <td>.NET</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

When we run this code, the output will be look like below

We can change the width of table by assigning value to it. As below code

<table width=100%>

We can also set border thickness and height by assigning value to it. Like below code

<table width=100% height=70px border=4>

We make some changes in above code by assigning value to width, height and border attributes. Now, the code is as below

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<table width=100% height=70px border=4>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Subject</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>A. Kumar</td>
<td>HTML</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>B. Kumar</td>
<td>.NET</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

When we run the code with these changes, the output will look like below figure
