HTML <col> tag
Definition and Usage
Defines the attribute values for one or more columns in a table. You can only
use this element inside a table or a colgroup.
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
Note: The col element is an empty element that contains attributes
only. To create columns, you must specify td elements within a tr element.
Tip: Use this element when you want to specify
different attribute values to a column inside a colgroup. Without a col element
a column will inherit all its attribute values from the colgroup.
