HTML <tr> tag

Updated: 09/12/2023 by Computer Hope

The HTML (hypertext markup language) <tr> tag is short for table row and used to designate a row of cells in a table and can contain <th> and <td> tags. The following sections contain information about the <tr> tag, including an example of it in use, and related attributes and browser compatibility.

Tip

More advanced tables may include the <caption>, <col>, <colgroup>, <tbody>, <tfoot>, or <thead> elements.

Example of <tr> code

<table class="mtable2 tab">
  <tr>
    <th>Month</th>
    <th>Savings</th>
  </tr>
  <tr class="tcw">
    <td>March</td>
    <td>$200</td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="tcw">
    <td>April</td>
    <td>$300</td>
  </tr>
  <tr class="tcw">
    <td>May</td>
    <td>$250</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Example result

Month	Savings
March	$200
April	$300
May	$250

We have added a few of our own classes to the table using CSS (cascading style sheets); this action allows us to improve its appearance.
