How do I make an HTML table?

Question

I can't find any site online that will instruct me on how to make an excel table in HTML format. Help?

Answer 1

There is an option in excel to save the file in html format (of course you get a lot of extra header info that is not needed.

Basic table format has three tags: table, tr, td.

The <table> starts it and </table> ends it.

Each row is defined by <tr> and </tr>, within a row the data for each column cell is defined by <td> and </td>.

So: <table><tr><td>col 1</td><td>col 2</td></tr>

<tr><td>col 1B</td><td>col2B</td></tr></table>

is a complete simple table with two rows and two columns
