SPAN : how many columns this affectsALIGN : alignment of cell contents | |
WIDTH : Width of the column group |
<COLGROUP ...>
defines a group of columns in the table and allows you to set properties of those columns. <COLGROUP ...>
goes immediately after the <TABLE ...>
tag and before any
<TR ...>
, <THEAD ...>
, <TBODY ...>
, or
<TFOOT ...>
tags. <COLGROUP ...>
works very much like <COL ...>
, but be sure to note that <COLGROUP ...>
requires both an opening and closing tag.
<COLGROUP ...>
is most useful for defining column groups to use in conjunction with
<TABLE RULES=GROUPS>
to put
borders between groups of columns instead of between every column. For example the following code creates a table that puts the first column in a group by itself, all the remaining columns in a group together, and puts borders between the groups of columns.
<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLPADDING=4 RULES=GROUPS FRAME=BOX>
<COLGROUP></COLGROUP>
<COLGROUP SPAN=3></COLGROUP>
