The <col> tag

Definition and Usage

Defines the attribute values for one or more columns in a table. You can only use this element inside a colgroup. Use this element when you want to specify different attribute values to a column inside a colgroup. Without a col element a column will inherit all its attribute values from the column group.

Tips and Notes

Note: The col element is an empty element that contains attributes only. To create columns, you must specify td elements within a tr element.

Example

<table border="1">

</colgroup>
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
<td>3</td>
<td>4</td>
</tr>
