HTML Table Headers

In this tutorial, you will learn HTML Table Headers

Table headers in HTML are used to label and organize the data in a table. Here is a tutorial on how to create table headers in HTML:

  • Start by creating the basic table structure using the <table> element. This element acts as the container for the entire table.
  • To create a table header row, use the <thead> element. This element is used to group the header content in a table.
  • Inside the <thead> element, create table header cells using the <th> element. Each <th> element represents a single header cell in the table.
  • To add data to the header cells, simply place the content inside the <th> element.
  • If you want to add styles to your table headers, you can use CSS. You can target the <th> element to apply styles to all the headers in the table.
th {
  background-color: #ddd;
  font-weight: bold;
}
  • If you want to give the table headers a specific width or height, you can use the width and height attributes on the <th> element.
<th width="50px" height="30px">Header 1</th>

Here’s an example of a basic table structure with headers:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Header 1</th>
      <th>Header 2</th>
      <th>Header 3</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Row 1, Cell 1</td>
      <td>Row 1, Cell 2</td>
      <td>Row 1, Cell 3</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Row 2, Cell 1</td>
      <td>Row 2, Cell 2</td>
      <td>Row 2, Cell 3</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

This is a basic tutorial on how to create table headers in HTML, but there are many other attributes and CSS properties that you can use to customize your table headers and make them more visually appealing and accessible.
