HTML Tables
 Tables represent tabular data

 A table consists of one or several rows
 Each row has one or more columns
 Tables comprised of several core tags:

<table></table>: begin / end the table
<tr></tr>: create a table row
<td></td>: create tabular data (cell)
 Tables should not be used for layout. Use CSS

floats and positioning styles instead

Simple HTML Tables – Example
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5">
<tr>
<td><img src="ppt.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture1.ppt">Lecture 1</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="ppt.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture2.ppt">Lecture 2</a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="zip.gif"></td>
<td><a href="lecture2-demos.zip">
Lecture 2 - Demos</a></td>
</tr>
</table>

Data Cells and Header Cells
 Two kinds of cells in HTML 5 tables

 Data cells – containing the table data
 Header cells – used for the column names or
some more important cells in a table
 Why two kinds of cells?

 Used to semantically separate the cells
<tr>
<th>Full name</th> <th> Mark </th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Doncho Minkov</td> <td>Very good 5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Georgi Georgiev</td> <td>Exellent 6</td>
</tr>

HTML 5 Tables
With Header, Footer
and Body

Complete HTML Tables
 Table rows split into three semantic sections:

header, body and footer
 <thead> denotes table header and contains
<th> elements, instead of <td> elements
 <tbody> denotes collection of table rows that
contain the very data
 <tfoot> denotes table footer but comes
BEFORE the <tbody> tag
 <colgroup> and <col> define columns (used
to set column widths)

Complete HTML Table: Example
<table>
<colgroup> columns
<col style="width:100px" /><col />
</colgroup>
header th
<thead>
<tr><th>Column 1</th><th>Column 2</th></tr>
</thead>
<tfoot> footer
<tr><td>Footer 1</td><td>Footer 2</td></tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody> Last comes the body
(data)
<tr><td>Cell 1.1</td><td>Cell 1.2</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

<colgroup>
<col style="width:200px" /><col />
</colgroup>

<tr><th>Column 1</th><th>Column 2</th></tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr><td>Footer 1</td><td>Footer 2</td></tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
Although the footer is
<tr><td>Cellbefore the data in the
2.1</td><td>Cell 2.2</td></tr>

code, it is displayed

Nested Tables

Nested Tables
 Table "cells" (<td>) can contain nested tables
(tables within tables):
<table> nested-tables.html
<tr>
<td>Contact:</td>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>First Name</td>
<td>Last Name</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Complex Tables
With Padding, Spacing and Stuff

Cell Spacing and Padding
 Tables have two attributes related to space

 cellspacing  cellpadding

cell cell cell cell

cell cell cell cell

 Defines the  Defines the empty
empty space space around the cell
between cells content
20

Cell Spacing and Padding –
Example
table-cells.html
<html>
<head><title>Table Cells</title></head>
<body>
<tr><td>First</td>
<td>Second</td></tr>
</table>
<br/>
<tr><td>First</td><td>Second</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

<tr><td>First</td>
<td>Second</td></tr>
</table>

Row and Column
Spans
How to make a two-cells
column? Or row?

Column and Row Span
 Cells have two attributes related to merging

 colspan  rowspan
colspan="1 colspan="1 rowspan="2 rowspan="1
" " " "
cell[1,1] cell[1,2] cell[1,2]
cell[1,1]
cell[2,1] cell[2,1]

colspan="2 rowspan="1
 Defines how "  Defines how"

many columns many rows the
the cell occupies cell occupies
25

Column and Row Span –
Example
table-colspan-rowspan.html
<table cellspacing="0">
<tr class="1"><td>Cell[1,1]</td>
<td colspan="2">Cell[2,1]</td></tr>
<td rowspan="2">Cell[2,2]</td>
<td>Cell[3,2]</td></tr>
</table>

Column and Row Span –
table-colspan-rowspan.html
Example (2)
<table cellspacing="0">
<td colspan="2">Cell[2,1]</td></tr>
<td rowspan="2">Cell[2,2]</td>
Cell[1,1]
<td>Cell[2,3]</td></tr> Cell[2,1]
</table>
Cell[1,2] Cell[3,2]

to/some-script.php">

</form>
The "action" attribute tells

<input type="text" name="FirstName" value="This
is a text field" />
 Multi-line text input fields (textarea):

text field</textarea>

 Password input – a text field which masks the
entered text with * signs
<input type="password" name="pass" />

<input type="reset" name="resetBtn"
value="Reset the form" />

Labels
 Labels are used to associate an explanatory text
to a form field using the field's ID.
<label for="fn">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="fn" />

 Clicking on a label focuses its associated field
(checkboxes are toggled, radio buttons are
checked)
 Labels are both a usability and accessibility
feature and are required in order to pass
accessibility validation.
37

Fieldsets
 Fieldsets are used to enclose a group of related
form fields:
<form method="post" action="form.aspx">
<fieldset>
<legend>Client Details</legend>
<input type="text" id="Name" />
<input type="text" id="Phone" />
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Order Details</legend>
<input type="text" id="Quantity" />
<textarea cols="40" rows="10"
id="Remarks"></textarea>
</fieldset>
 The <legend> is the fieldset's title.
</form>

Range and Spinbox
 Restricts users to enter only numbers

 Additional attributes min, max and step and

 Brings them back on a later visit on the same
page
 Autofocus
 The field becomes on focus on page load
 Required

<frameset>, <frame> and <iframe>

HTML Frames

(frames) horizontally and vertically
 Frames were popular in the early ages of HTML

development, but now their usage is rejected
 Frames are not supported by all user agents

(browsers, search engines, etc.)
 A <noframes> element is used to provide
content for non-compatible agents. 49
