HTML Tables & Data Grids

Pascual Vila

Frontend Instructor // Code Syllabus

HTML Tables are the original way to display structured data. While not for layout, they are essential for datasets, schedules, and comparison charts.

The Container and Rows

Every table starts with <table>. Inside, we don't define columns directly. Instead, we define rows using <tr> (Table Row).

Data vs Headers

Inside a row, you place cells. Use <td> for standard data and <th> for headers. Headers are crucial for accessibility, allowing screen readers to understand the context of the data.

Merging Cells

To make a cell span multiple columns, use the colspan attribute. To span multiple rows, use rowspan. This allows for complex grid layouts within the data table.
