Question: How do you build an HTML table from scratch?
HTML tables can be very tricky to build in a text editor, but once you learn how to build them you'll be glad you did. Knowing HTML tables is a good indication that you're an intermediate or advanced HTML author.
Answer:
HTML tables require only three tags to build:
The best way to start is to think about tables as being a group of cells in a row, and a group of rows in a table.
First create the table:
<table> </table>
Then, within that table, create your first row:
<table>
<tr> </tr>
</table>
Finally, create your cells within the row:
<table>
<tr> <td> </td> </tr>
</table>
And then add the text within the cell:
<table>More Web Design / HTML Q&A
<tr><td>cell 1</td></tr>
</table>
