HTML td Tag

The HTML <td> tag is used to define a single cell within a table. It represents a data cell or a cell containing tabular data within a <tr> (table row) element.

Here’s an example of how the <td> tag can be used:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Data 1</td>
    <td>Data 2</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Data 3</td>
    <td>Data 4</td>
  </tr>
</table>

In the above example, the <td> tag is used to define four data cells within a table. Each <td> element represents a single cell, and the content inside the <td> tags represents the data or information to be displayed within each cell.

By default, the content of <td> elements is left-aligned within the cell. You can use CSS to apply different styles, such as text alignment, background color, borders, and padding, to customize the appearance of the cells.

The <td> tags must always be placed within a <tr> (table row) element, which represents a row within the table. You can have multiple rows with different numbers of cells within the same table.

Tables in HTML are structured using a combination of <table>, <tr>, and <td> tags. The <table> tag defines the table itself, the <tr> tags define the rows, and the <td> tags define the individual cells within each row.

By using the <td> tag, you can create well-structured and organized tables to display tabular data on your web pages.
