A simple HTML table, containing two columns and two rows:
<table border="1">

</table>


Definition and Usage

The <table> tag defines an HTML table.
A simple HTML table consists of the table element and one or more tr, th, and td elements.
The tr element defines a table row, the th element defines a table header, and the td element defines a table cell.
A more complex HTML table may also include caption, col, colgroup, thead, tfoot, and tbody elements.

Browser Support

The <table> tag is supported in all major browsers.

Differences Between HTML and XHTML

The "align" and "bgcolor" attributes of the table element were deprecated in HTML 4.01, and are not supported in XHTML 1.0 Strict DTD.

Optional Attributes

DTD indicates in which DTD the attribute is allowed. S=Strict, T=Transitional, and F=Frameset.
