| 00:04 | video tutorial: rendering a table in our html page |
| 00:10 | like this one; we will recreate this table from scratch |
| 00:17 | we will start by adding the table element in page which acts like a container, since it will contain all other elements needed |
| 00:33 | our container is empty → nothing to display in browser |
| 00:38 | "Moon Phases, March and April, 2013" represents the caption of the table, which can be added in page through caption element; note: caption element is optional |
| 00:39 | recreating this table |
| 01:01 | this represents the head of the table and can be added in page through thead element; note: thead is optional |
| 01:16 | this represents the body of the table and can be added in page through tbody element note: tbody is optional; when absent, tr element must be present as child of the table element |
| 01:19 | this represents the footer of the table and can be added in page through tfoot element note: tfoot is optional |
| 01:37 | thead, tbody and tfoot don't display in browser |
| 01:42 | thead element contains: 1 row (1 tr element) with 4 header cells (4 th elements) |
| 02:29 | our table's header displays in browser |
| 02:34 | tbody element contains 2 rows (2 tr elements) with 4 cells each (4 td elements) |
| 03:20 | the 2 rows with 4 cells each displays, but the cells are empty for now |
| 03:31 | adding content inside the cells |
| 03:59 | the body of our table displays in browser |
| 04:04 | tfoot element contains 1 row (1 tr element) with 4 cells (4 th elements) |
