Using tables

Sometimes we need to arrange data into a table. A common example of this that we are all familiar with is our personal class timetable.

In HTML we create tables by creating each row of the table one at a time. The elements that we use are:

<table> - This declares the table, all our rows go inside this.
<tr> - Declares a row
<th> - Declares a heading cell. Headings sit inside a row.
<td> - Declares a cell for normal information. These sit inside the row.

If we want data to span across multiple rows/columns we can do the following:
<td colspan="2"> - this would make a row span over 2 columns
<td rowspan="2"> - this would make a column span over 2 rows
