HTML 5 <table> tag

The <table> tag defines a table. Inside a <table> tag you can put table headers, table rows, table cells, and other tables.


Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5

The "align" and "bgcolor" attributes of the table element were deprecated in HTML 4.01.

In HTML 5 no table attributes are supported!
