Attributes
| Name | Occ | Type | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| abbr | [0..1] | xsd:anySimpleType | Provides an abbreviated form of the cell's content and may be rendered by user agents when appropriate in place of the cell's content. Abbreviated names should be short since user agents may render them repeatedly. For instance, speech synthesizers may render the abbreviated headers relating to a particular cell before rendering that cell's content. | |
| axis | [0..1] | xsd:anySimpleType | This attribute may be used to place a cell into conceptual categories that can be considered to form axes in an n-dimensional space. User agents may give users access to these categories (e.g., the user may query the user agent for all cells that belong to certain categories, the user agent may present a table in the form of a table of contents, etc.). Please consult an HTML reference for more details. | |
| headers | [0..1] | xsd:anySimpleType | Specifies the list of header cells that provide header information for the current data cell. The value of this attribute is a space-separated list of cell names; those cells must be named by setting their id attribute. Authors generally use the headers attribute to help non-visual user agents render header information about data cells (e.g., header information is spoken prior to the cell data), but the attribute may also be used in conjunction with style sheets. | |
| scope | [0..1] | Anonymous | Specifies the set of data cells for which the current header cell provides header information. This attribute may be used in place of the headers attribute, particularly for simple tables. | |
| rowspan | [0..1] | xsd:nonNegativeInteger | Specifies the number of rows spanned by the current cell. The default value of this attribute is one (1 ). The value zero (0 ) means that the cell spans all rows from the current row to the last row of the table section (thead , tbody , or tfoot ) in which the cell is defined. | |
| colspan | [0..1] | xsd:nonNegativeInteger | Specifies the number of columns spanned by the current cell. The default value of this attribute is one (1 ). The value zero (0 ) means that the cell spans all columns from the current column to the last column of the column group (colgroup ) in which the cell is defined. |
