Introduction
A table helps to organize data information into columns and rows.- The element table defined an HTML5 table.
- The attribute summary not only summarizes the table's contents but also helps users with visual impairments to access the content through speech devices.
- The attribute border specifies the border of the table.
- The element caption is used to indicate the table's title.
- The element tr indicates table row
- The element td includes table data
- There are other elements such as thead, th, tbody, tfoot, colspan and rowspan will be illustrated later.
