HTML Nested Tables

HTML allows you to create nested tables, which are tables placed within other tables.

This technique is useful when you need to organize data or content in a more complex layout.

In this session, we'll explore how to create nested tables in HTML.

Creating Nested Tables

To create a nested table, you can simply place a new <table> element inside a cell of an existing table.

Here's an example:

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>Cell 1, Row 1</td>
        <td>Cell 2, Row 1</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <table>
                <tr>
                    <td>Nested Cell 1</td>
                    <td>Nested Cell 2</td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </td>
        <td>Cell 4, Row 2</td>
    </tr>
</table>

In this example, the second cell of the first row contains a nested table.

This nested table has its own structure and can have its rows, cells, and other attributes.

Advantages of Nested Tables

Nested tables offer several advantages:

  • Complex Layouts: You can use nested tables to create complex layouts, such as grids or multi-column designs.
  • Grouping Data: Nested tables allow you to group related data within a larger table, making it easier to understand and manage.
  • Responsive Design: When used with CSS, nested tables can help create responsive layouts that adapt to different screen sizes.
