HTML Code

HTML Code – Table

Here is a rather generic HTML table.  The code does not contain any formatting HTML options and will rely on the hosting page to provide those.

<div class="datagrid">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Athlete</th>
<th>Team</th>
<th>Position</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td colspan="3">
<div id="paging">
<ul>
	<li><a href="#">Previous</a></li>
	<li><a class="active" href="#">1</a></li>
	<li><a href="#">2</a></li>
	<li><a href="#">3</a></li>
	<li><a href="#">4</a></li>
	<li><a href="#">5</a></li>
	<li><a href="#">Next</a></li>
</ul>
</div></td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Kyrie Irving</td>
<td>Cleveland Cavaliers</td>
<td>Point Guard (PG)</td>
</tr>
<tr class="alt">
<td>DeMar DeRozan</td>
<td>Toronto BlueJays</td>
