HTML <col> Tag ❮ Prev Next ❯

The <col> tag defines the properties of one or more columns in the HTML table defined by the <table> tag. The <col> tag is often used with the <colgroup> tag which specifies a group with common properties.

The <col> tag is placed inside the <table> tag, before the <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot> and <tr> tags, and after the <caption> tag if it is used (in the <caption> tag we insert the name of the table).

Syntax

The <col> tag is empty, which means that the closing tag isn’t required. But in XHTML, the (<col>) tag must be closed (<col/>).

Example of the HTML <col> tag:

<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Title of the document</title> <style> table, th, td { border: 1px solid #666; } </style> </head> <body> <table> <colgroup> <col span="2" style="width:20%; background-color:#eee;"> <col style="width:10%; background-color:#8ebf42;"> </colgroup> <tr> <th>Name</th> <th>Gender</th> <th>Age</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Mary Nicolson</td> <td>female</td> <td>19</td> </tr> <tr> <td>John Johnson</td> <td>male</td> <td>23</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> Try it Yourself »
