The <col> tag

Definition and Usage

Defines the attribute values for one or more columns in a table. You can only use this element inside a colgroup. Use this element when you want to specify different attribute values to a column inside a colgroup. Without a col element a column will inherit all its attribute values from the column group.

Differences Between HTML and XHTML

In HTML the <col> tag has no end tag.

In XHTML the <col> tag must be properly closed.

Tips and Notes

Note: The col element is an empty element that contains attributes only. To create columns, you must specify td elements within a tr element.
