Table cell
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
A table cell is one grouping within a table. Cells are grouped horizontally (rows of cells) and vertically (columns of cells). Usually information on the top header of a table and side header will "meet" in the middle at a particular cell with information regarding the two headers it is collinear with.

HTML Usage
Kinds of cells in HTML
A table cell in HTML is a non-empty element and should always be closed. There are two different kinds of table cells in HTML: normal table cells and header cells. <td> denotes a table cell, while <th> denotes a table header. The two can be used interchangeably, but it is recommended that header cells be only used for the top and side headers of a table.
Syntax
A table cell also must be nested within a <table> tag and a <tr> (table row) tag. If there are more table cell tags in any given row than in any other, the particular <tr> must be given a "colspan" attribute declaring how many colums of cells wide it should be.
