CHAPTER

Adding Tables and Lists 7

Do the header cells have to be in the first row of

the table?

No. For some tables, header cells in the left column

make more sense. Others might have headers in both

the first row and the left column, and still others

might have multiple headers. You can use the <th>

tag anywhere that it logically makes sense to have

the header.

Can I have headers that are not bold or centered?

Yes. Simply create a CSS declaration for the <th>

tag, and set font-weight:normal to override

the bold and text-align:left to override the

alignment. You could, of course, add other

properties as well, perhaps setting the background

color of the headers or making the font larger.

● When you view the page in

the browser, the header cells

are bold and centered.

4 Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for
each remaining cell in the
row.
