HTML Table Code

You can use the following HTML code to create a table in your HTML document. You can set the border to zero if you want the table border to be transparent.

You can also check out the HTML Table Generator.

Example HTML Table Code

HTML Code:


<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5" width="100%">
<tr>
<th>Table header</th>
<th>Table header</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="20%">Table cell 1</td><td>Table cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>

This results in:

Table header	Table header
Table cell 1	Table cell 2
