HTML Tables
HTML Tables are a markup structure in HTML used to organize and display data in a tabular format with rows and columns. They are created using elements like <table>, <tr>, <td>, and <th> to define the table, rows, cells, and headers, respectively. Tables are commonly used for presenting structured data such as schedules, statistics, or product comparisons on web pages.
Developers should learn HTML Tables for displaying data that requires a grid-like layout, such as financial reports, comparison charts, or data dashboards. They are essential for creating accessible and semantically correct tabular content, especially when using headers and captions to improve screen reader compatibility. However, for complex layouts or responsive design, CSS Grid or Flexbox are often preferred over tables for non-tabular content.
