HTML <col> tag


Example

col elements that specify different alignment for the three columns in the table:

<table width="100%" border="1">
  <col align="left"></col>
  <col align="left"></col>
  <col align="right"></col>
  <tr>
    <th>ISBN</th>
    <th>Title</th>
    <th>Price</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>3476896</td>
    <td>My first HTML</td>
    <td>$53</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Try it yourself!


Definition and Usage

The <col> tag defines attribute values for one or more columns in a table.

The <col> tag is useful for applying styles to entire columns, instead of repeating the styles for each cell, for each row.

The <col> tag can only be used inside a table or a colgroup element.


Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The <col> tag is only supported by Internet Explorer and Opera.


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

Tips: Add the class attribute to the <col> tag, and let CSS take care of alignment, widths, colors, etc.!

Also have a look at the <colgroup> tag.
