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.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5
Only the "summary" attribute is supported in HTML 5.
Tips and Notes
Note: You should try not to use the "summary" attribute. If the
information in the "summary" attribute is important, you should use a table
caption.
