So I know that the tag splits the table into rows and I know that the tag is a standard cell that represents and contains standard data and holds content of the data cell.
Is any of what I said wrong or does it do anything more?

The tag defines a standard cell in an HTML table.



An HTML table has two kinds of cells:



Header cells - contains header information (created with the element)

Standard cells - contains data (created with the element)



The text in elements are bold and centered by default.



The text in elements are regular and left-aligned by default.



The tag defines a row in an HTML table.



A element contains one or more or elements.

Basically, the stands for 'table data' and the stands for 'table head/header'. The table header will make a cell bold and center aligned, while a table data tag will make a cell not bold & left aligned.



If you are looking for a website to help you figure out these types of questions, try the one I used as my source. That link goes to a page specifically on tag, and has a try it yourself section that allows you to quickly see the effect of changing things. Have fun learning HTML... Best of luck to you!

Hi there,

You are correct. That is what those tags do.

There also is a tag used for the top row that has bold text for making a header.

Not always used but it's available if you want to name a row or column.

Also there is a tag that can be used for the bottom row but it also is seldom used.

Hope this helps,

Al

is table data so I between the opening and closing tag you put the data.

You are Right! To add something, each tag can contain any number of tags to divide a table row in multiple row divisions to display multiple cells.

So basically, when you construct a table in HTML, you do the following:

1) Create a table, including possibly a table body*. This is basically where everything's gonna go. Think of it as the 'sheet' in Excel (sorta).

2) Inside that table, create a number of rows. Just like the numbered rows in Excel.

3) Inside each row, create a number of individual cells. These each are akin to an individual cell in Excel

So, for a 2x3 table:















A1B1C1
A2B2C2




*You can also create a table head, but let's not worry about that right now.

Both tags are use in table.I'm explain this point by example that are given below:





















text1text2<
text3<text4<




The tag defines a row in html table and element contains one or more or elements.

Yes that is right. these are attributes of table they create row and column in designing.

For an example of 2 column and two row table structure will be :

What you are saying is correct. These tags are used together when you want to display tabular data on a web page.

You got it right. But don't skip them because one given browser showed up correctly.
