Making an HTML Table

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Dorian Winterfeld on behalf of Expert Village. I've been doing web programming for about ten years, and today we are going to cover the basics of HTML. Okay, so we're back to our very basic web page on our computer. "Hello Expert Village" is our only text here. Now I'm going to add an example of a table. Here's how we open a table. Table, open table, just to make it more readable I'm going to put some line breaks in there. We're going to close the table. But there's nothing in the table yet, we need to add something to the table. Now, a table consists of rows and columns. I am going to start the first row, which is just 'tr'. So we won't forget, let's close that row: 'close tr'. Now I'm going to insert what's called the column headers, or it's also called the table headers. And the first table header, the command is 'th', we're going to open it, and in this case we're going to say--we're going to make the table header be 'Name'--I'm sorry--close table header. Our next table header is going to be 'Address', close table header. Open another table header. How about we make it be the phone number--we'll just say 'Phone', close table header. Get rid of this space. And we'll save the file."
