The <col/> Tag in HTML 5
The <col> tag can only be used inside a table colgroup element and provides style information for a column in an HTML table. For example, in the HTML table demo below there is a style for each column that sets the column width to 20%, 30% and 50%, respectively.
| Multiple Column Heading | ||
|---|---|---|
| First Column Heading | Second Column Heading | |
| This is an example of an HTML table footer. | ||
| Row 1 | Row 1 Column 1 | Row 1 Column 2 |
| Row 2 | Row 2 Column 1 | Row 2 Column 2 |
This is an actual working demo of the table column example code below. (Do View Source to verify that this page is using the HTML 5 DOCTYPE. You can also verify it is Valid HTML 5 using the HTML Validator. Try using it to validate URLs with HTML examples from other places that claim to be HTML 5 web sites!)
See the tutorial on Creating HTML Tables for full details on how to create an HTML table using the HTML table tags together.
