Table Summary

In the fourth lesson, we learned everything we need to create tables in HTML and found out that:

• Tables are created with the table element.
• A table row is created with the tr element (table row), which is a child of the table element.
• A cell with data is created with the td element (table data), which is a child of the tr element.
• A column is made up of the cells at the same position in each row.
• A heading cell is created with the th element (table header), which is also a child of the tr element.
• The colspan attribute sets how many columns a cell spans.
• The rowspan attribute sets how many rows a cell spans. The rows below then have one cell fewer, because the cell takes up their place.

In the next lesson, we'll look at HTML forms: why we need them, how to create them and more!
