Header 1 Header 2
Row 1, Cell 1 Row 1, Cell 2
Row 2, Cell 1 Row 2, Cell 2

- `

` defines a table row.

- `

`) and cells (`

` defines a table header cell. - `	` defines a table data cell. - `border="1"` adds a border to the table for better visibility (optional). You can customize this structure by adding more rows (`

Question 3

What is table tag syntax?

Accepted Answer

The table tag syntax in HTML is straightforward. Here's a basic structure:

...

Inside the `` element, you typically use several other tags to define the structure of the table. These include:

- `

` (table row): Defines a row in the table.

- `

`), header cells (`

` (table header): Defines a header cell in a table. Typically used to label columns or rows.

- `

` (table data): Defines a standard data cell in a table.

Here's a simple example with a table that has one row and two columns:

     
        
        
    
    
        
        
    
  Header 1  Header 2  
  Row 1, Cell 1  Row 1, Cell 2

Remember to close each tag properly and ensure that the structure of the table follows the logic of rows and columns. You can add more rows (`

`), or data cells (` `) based on your needs.

Question 4

What is Colspan/Rowspan in HTML?

Accepted Answer

In HTML, `colspan` and `rowspan` are attributes that can be used with the `` (table data) and `` (table header) elements to control the spanning of columns and rows in a table.

1. Colspan (Column Span):

- `colspan` is used to make a single cell span multiple columns horizontally.

- It specifies the number of columns a cell should span.

- Example:

               
             
             
         
         
             
         
     
  Header 1  Header 2  
  Spanning two columns

- In this example, the second row's cell spans two columns.

2. Rowspan (Row Span):

- `rowspan` is used to make a single cell span multiple rows vertically.

- It specifies the number of rows a cell should span.

- Example:

               
             
             
         
         
             
             
         
         
             
         
     
  Header 1  Header 2  
  Spanning two rows  Row 2, Cell 2  
  Row 3, Cell 2

- In this example, the first cell in the first column spans two rows.

These attributes are useful when you need to create more complex table layouts with cells that span across multiple columns or rows.

Question 5

how to create table in html with border

Accepted Answer

You can create a table in HTML with a border, you can use the `border` attribute within the `` tag. Here's a simple example:

 
 
 
     HTML Table with Border
 
 
     Table with Border

Header 1	Header 2
Row 1, Cell 1	Row 1, Cell 2
Row 2, Cell 1	Row 2, Cell 2

In this example:

- The `border="1"` attribute is added to the `` tag to create a border around the table. The value "1" specifies the width of the border (in pixels).

You can customize the `border` attribute according to your preferences for the border width. If you want a thicker border, you can increase the value. If you want no border, you can omit the `border` attribute altogether.
