HTML <tr> Tag

The <tr> tag creates a table row in an HTML table.

Each row is a container for one or more table cells.

A table can have any number of rows.

Example

#

A table with 4 <tr> tags: 1 header row (lightblue) and 3 data rows.

First Name Last Name
Denice Hobermann
Timothy O'Neill
Jane Hollander
<style>
 table.tb { width:300px; border-collapse: collapse; }
 .tb th, .tb td { padding:3px; border: 1px solid #777; }
 .tb th { background-color:lightblue; }
</style>

<table class="tb">
  <tr>
    <th>First Name</th>
    <th>Last Name</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Denice</td>
    <td>Hobermann</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Timothy</td>
    <td>O'Neill</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Jane</td>
    <td>Hollander</td>
  </tr>
</table>
tr = table row
th = table heading
td = table data cell

Using <tr>

The <tr> tag creates a single table row.

This tag must be placed inside a <table> tag.

In turn, a <tr> contains one or more <th> or <td> elements.

Note: By default, tables have no borders. Our examples use CSS for basic styling.

More Examples

A table with 8 <tr> elements -- 1 header row and 7 data rows.
