Here is a table that I made for one of my other web pages:
| Evan James' Fisherman's Wharf Model Railroad | ||
|---|---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
![]() |
<table></table>
The "opening" and "closing" tags that tell the browser it is looking at a table. These two tags must be used.
<tr></tr>
"Table Row": Sets up a "row" in which all items contained are listed in a straight line.
<td></td>
"Table Data": Sets up a "cell", where table data is placed. The TD-Table Data cells sit inside the TR-Table Row tags.
All of the tags above are "container tags" and have an opening and closing tag. Forgetting to place one of these where needed can cause strange effects in different browsers, especially Netscape, when trying to create a TABLE.
