HTML tables:
In real time applications,user may want to prepare applicant details,Employee details, Student report card, and so on.These application would be effective,if they are in a tabular format.If these applications are to be presented in a web page,it can be done with HTML.
HTML provides the choice for the user to create tables.To create a table in HTML, <table> tag is used.Usually,application such as microsoft word, staroffice writer will display the details of first row as bold,when the data is in presented in a tabular format.
Similarly,browsers make the text which is present between the tag <th> as bold.Hence,in HTML we may use the tag for heading purpose.A table is divided into rows by <tr> tag and each row is divided into cells by <td> tags.
Example:
<th>HEADING</th>
<tr>FIRST ROW</tr>
<td>FIRST CELL</td>
Sample code to create a table in web page:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample</title>
<body>
<table border = " 1 " >
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Day</th>
</tr>
<tr>
