Tables Backgrounds
You can set table background using one of the following two ways −
bgcolor attribute − You can set background color for whole table or just for one cell.
background attribute − You can set background image for whole table or just for one cell.
You can also set border color also using bordercolor attribute.
Note − The bgcolor, background, and bordercolor attributes deprecated in HTML5. Do not use these attributes.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>HTML Table Background</title> </head> <body> <table border = "1" bordercolor = "green" bgcolor = "yellow"> <tr> <th>Column 1</th> <th>Column 2</th> <th>Column 3</th> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan = "2">Row 1 Cell 1</td> <td>Row 1 Cell 2</td> <td>Row 1 Cell 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Row 2 Cell 2</td> <td>Row 2 Cell 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan = "3">Row 3 Cell 1</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
This will produce the following result −
Here is an example of using background attribute. Here we will use an image available in /images directory.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>HTML Table Background</title> </head> <body> <table border = "1" bordercolor = "green" background = "/images/test.png"> <tr> <th>Column 1</th> <th>Column 2</th> <th>Column 3</th> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan = "2">Row 1 Cell 1</td> <td>Row 1 Cell 2</td><td>Row 1 Cell 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Row 2 Cell 2</td> <td>Row 2 Cell 3</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan = "3">Row 3 Cell 1</td> </tr> </table> </body> </html>
This will produce the following result. Here background image did not apply to table's header.
