Showcase Content in Tables

Adding content to a table is another method to provide information to your target audience. The use of tables makes it easy for users to obtain information rapidly because columns and headings are defined to showcase the data. Many web designers use tables when creating price lists or providing statistical data.  

 

Table Structure

When you add the markup container for tables in your HTML 5 document, the <table> element is utilized. The process to structure the table includes establishing a table border. The border attribute can be used to include an outline around the edge of the table cell. This practice will project the table so that it is more defined. An example of how to apply the border attribute is indicated below.

<table border = "1">
