HTML Tables

[joebox]

To create basic tables in html you need 3 tags.

starting tags
1.<table>
2.<tr>
3.<td>

of course you must end all 3 tags with a /

ending tags
1.</table>
2.</tr>
3.</td>

Description of tags
tr and td tags are abbreviations for table row and table data. The table tag is what creates the table. tr will create a row inside of the table. td will create a place to display the data inside the table row

We will make 1 table with 1 row and 3 data cells.

Code: Select all

<table>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</table>

Have fun!

I can't approve this submission. Make a more complete tutorial and it will be considered.

what I don't understand? Can you be more descriptive?

I think what he is referring to is maybe spend a bit more time researching HTML Tables before writing a tutorial. As there is a few things you are missing to have more of a unique feel to it.

Such as th colspan rowspan width height align etc etc hell you could even get into styling tables with jquery and CSS if you have the inclination to learn more about it.

Just my opinion

It's a basic table without any attributes. For beginners let's say really useful to newbies. I actually remember starting them in the beginning and would of found this information useful. Tutorials are not for the elite only, leave this for the newbies. Maybe just change the title to basic html tables? Newbies aren't as advanced they wouldn't understand styling, colspan, rowspan, nested tables, border, padding ect.


It's like leaving a dog in the home alone when he isn't house trained.

I wrote it specifically for newbies. What a shame to keep this information for coders who are just starting out.

All i'm saying is your tutorial doesn't have enough content. All you do is show how to make a table in html. Why not make an html tutorial for newbies?
