HTML <tr> Tag

The <tr> tag defines a row in an HTML table. The cells inside it are defined using the <th> (a header cell) or the <td> (a standard cell).

The <tr> element is declared inside the <table> tag.

All the rows in the table contain an equal number of cells, which is equivalent to the number of cells in the longest row. If there are fewer cells in a row, then the browser will automatically fill the row, placing empty cells at the end of it.

If you need to emphasize that there is no data in other cells, then create cell without content where necessary.

The cells added by browser have no borders, and if they go after each other, they will be shown as one integrated cell.

To customize the look of the table use CSS properties.
