HTML Table Colgroup

The colgroup element in HTML is used to group columns within a table. It allows you to apply styles or attributes to a group of columns simultaneously, making it easier to manage table layouts and styles.

Basic Usage

HTML
<table>
  <colgroup>
    <col style="background-color: #f2f2f2;">
    <col style="background-color: #ddd;">
  </colgroup>
  <tr>
    <th>Product</th>
    <th>Price</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Product A</td>
    <td>$100</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Product B</td>
    <td>$200</td>
  </tr>
</table>

In this example, the colgroup element groups the two columns. The first col element applies a background color to the first column, while the second col element applies a background color to the second column.

Benefits of Using Colgroup

  • Simplified Styling: You can apply styles to multiple columns at once, reducing the amount of CSS code needed.
  • Improved Structure: It provides a clear visual structure for the table, making it easier to understand and maintain.
  • Accessibility: It can be helpful for screen readers and assistive technologies to understand the table's structure.

Additional Attributes

  • span: Specifies the number of columns that the col element should span.
  • width: Sets the width of the column.

Example with Span and Width

HTML
<table>
  <colgroup>
    <col span="2" style="background-color: #f2f2f2;">
    <col width="100px">
  </colgroup>
  <tr>
    <th>Product</th>
    <th>Price</th>
    <th>Quantity</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Product A</td>
    <td>$100</td>
    <td>10</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Product B</td>
    <td>$200</td>
    <td>20</td>
  </tr>
</table>

In this example, the first col element spans two columns and has a background color, while the second col element has a fixed width.

By using the colgroup element, you can create more efficient and maintainable HTML tables, especially for complex layouts with multiple columns and styles.
