HTML col Tag

The information on this page is based on HTML version 4.01 (which is the current version of HTML). The next version, HTML 5, is currently being written. Here's a list of HTML 5 tags.

The HTML col tag is used for specifying column properties for each column within a colgroup.

You would normally only use this tag if the values for each column is different. Otherwise, you can specify the properties as part of the colgroup tag.

Also see HTML colgroup tag.

<table border="1">
  <colgroup span="3">
    <col width="50"></col>
    <col width="100"></col>
    <col width="20"></col>
   </colgroup>
   <tr>
    <td>col 1</td>
    <td>col 2</td>
    <td>col 2</td>
