Howdy, looking for a general assessment on my table for Structuring planet data.

Do I need to include further after styling the “Name” column with a border? It seems to display ok. Thank you!

Hi @mcbiscuits437 and welcome to the community :wave:

Well done! Here are some comments:

  • Trailing slashes aren’t needed on void elements. (<col> is enough).
  • When using <colgroup> you indeed need to mention all columns. To save some typing you can use the span attribute (e. g. <col span="9">).
  • <caption> has to be the first child of <table>.
  • The scope attributes are all correct. :+1:
  • I recommend pasting the HTML code into https://validator.w3.org/nu/#textarea. There are some more errors with missing end tags.

I hope that helps. Please ask if you need more assistance. :slightly_smiling_face:

Have a nice day,
Michael

MIchael,

Thanks so much for the welcome and your assessment!

Regarding the , I could sum up the last several columns simply by writing:
col span=“9”
(i can’t figure out how to display the < > symbols in this comment, go figure).
Could I do that for the first two columns also?
e.g.
col span=“2”
col style=…
col span=“9”

I totally forgot to run through the HTML checker, thanks for the reminder!

Yes. That’s exactly right.

Regarding the angle brackets:
You can use backticks to display code. Either single backticks for inline code or triple backticks on their own line for multi-line code.

Inline code:

This is an HTML tag: `<body>`.

Multi-line code:

```
<colgroup>
  <col span="2">
  <col style="border: 2px solid black">
  <col span="9">
</colgroup>
```

Backticks, thanks for the reminder.

You have been so helpful, thanks again!
