### Defining an HTML Table
An HTML table is defined with the `<table>` tag.
Each table row is defined with the `<tr>` tag. Inside a row there may be table headers or table data.
* A table header is defined with the `<th>` tag. By default, table headings are bold and centered.
* A table data/cell is defined with the `<td>` tag.
A more complex HTML table may also include `<caption>`, `<col>`, `<colgroup>`, `<thead>`, `<tfoot>`, and `<tbody>` elements in it.
### Simple Table Example
```html
<table style="width:100%">
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jill</td>
<td>Smith</td>
<td>50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Eve</td>
<td>Jackson</td>
<td>94</td>
</tr>
</table>
```

### Table Example with more semantic information
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Amount</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Peach</td>
<td>15</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Watermelon</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>10</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
</body>
</html>
```
Result:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Amount</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Peach</td>
<td>15</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Watermelon</td>
<td>3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>10</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
## Adding/Removing table border
The table border width can be increased/decreased using the table border attribute.
### Table Border Example
```html
<table border = "1">
<tr>
<th>Fruits</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
```
Result:
<table border = "1">
<tr>
<th>Fruits</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
```html
<table border = "0">
<tr>
<th>Fruits</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
```
Result:
<table border = "0">
<tr>
<th>Fruits</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
```html
<table border = "2">
<tr>
<th>Fruits</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
```
Result:
<table border = "2">
<tr>
<th>Fruits</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Apple</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>
