Tables

The new HTML 4.0 table tags, <thead>, <tbody> and <tfoot> are all implemented. These tags allow printed pages to have headers and footers when the table is longer than a single page. Since the 4630 IP Telephone Web Browser has no print capability, we recommend that these tags not be used.

• <table> starts a table layout.
• <caption> adds a caption to a table. The align attribute allows a caption to be placed above or below the table. This attribute has no effect in the telephone.
• <tr> adds a new table row to a table.
• <th> adds a header for some column(s) of a table.
• <td> adds a piece of data for some row(s) and column(s) of a table.
• <thead> defines a set of table header rows. The intent of this tag is to provide a set of header rows for each printed page. While viewing the page in a browser, the header has no more effect than the <th> tag. What it provides for the designer is a more logical breakout of the data. The table’s header area is easily recognizable, since it appears between the <thead> start and end tags.
• <tbody> defines the main body of a table, when used with the <thead> and <tfoot> tags.
• <tfoot> defines a footer for a table. This tag can contain multiple rows. Like the <thead> tag, the intent of this tag is to provide a set of footer rows for each printed page. Viewing the page in a browser has no additional effect. And like the <thead> tag, this tag provides a logical breakout of the data for the designer.
• <colgroup> defines a column group. It can be used as a single definition of identical columns or as a container for dissimilar columns. The span attribute defines what columns are parts of each group.
• <col> controls the appearance of one or more columns within a column group.
