<tr> Tag Syntax
<body> ... flow content expected ... <table> ... <tr> <td>...</td> ... </tr> ... </table> </body>
Rules for coding the HTML tr
element
Make sure you understand the difference between a tag and element and are familiar with the definitions of namespace and other HTML terms.
- Include a tr element inside a thead element, a tfoot element or an explicit or implied tbody element.
- Begin the tr element with a starting <tr> tag. The element name uses lower case letters and should be in the HTML namespace, which it will pick up automatically from the
xmlns
attribute on the <html> tag. - Inside the tr element, between the starting
<tr>
tag and the ending</tr>
tag, code the inner HTML for the cells of the table row. - End the tr element with a matching
</tr>
closing tag.
