Summary - Class schedule table

HTML course · Beginner · Lesson 46/68

Build a weekly class schedule table using all table elements.

What we learned in this group

In this group you saw every core building block of tables:

  • <table>, <tr>, <td> for the table skeleton
  • <th> and scope for header cells
  • <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot> for sections
  • <caption> for the table title
  • colspan and rowspan for cell spanning

Now we will combine all of them to build a class schedule table.

Exercise Build a class schedule table

Add a <table> to body. Right after the <table> opening, write a <caption> title (for example Weekly Class Schedule). Then add a <thead> section with <th scope="col"> headers for Day and Class. Finally add a <tbody> section with at least one <tr> row holding two <td> cells (for example Monday / Math).

Show example solution 
<body>
  <table>
    <caption>Weekly Class Schedule</caption>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th scope="col">Day</th>
        <th scope="col">Class</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>Monday</td>
        <td>Math</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</body>

Test yourself

  1. Match each tag to its role

    <table>
    Table container
    <tr>
    Row
    <th>
    Header cell
    <caption>
    Title describing the table
    <thead>
    Header row section

  2. Which of the following is optional in a table (not required in every table)?

    • <table>
    • <caption>
    • <tr>
    • <td>
    Show answer

    <caption> — Correct. <caption> is useful but not required; table, tr and td are the table's backbone.

  3. Open the header section

    <table>
  ____
    <tr><th scope="col">Day</th><th scope="col">Class</th></tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody><tr><td>Monday</td><td>Math</td></tr></tbody>
</table>
    Show answer 
    <table>
  <thead>
    <tr><th scope="col">Day</th><th scope="col">Class</th></tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody><tr><td>Monday</td><td>Math</td></tr></tbody>
</table>
