HTML <col> tag
Syntax
<col> - </col>
Definition and Usage
The COL element allows authors to group together
attribute specifications for table columns. The COL
does not group columns together structurally -- that is the
role of the COLGROUP
element. COL elements are empty and serve only as a
support for attributes.
If used, COL must be after the optional CAPTION
and before the optional THEAD
in the TABLE. Unlike COLGROUP,
COL does not group columns structurally; it merely
defines attributes common to all cells in one or more columns.
