Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I use this tool instead of writing HTML by hand?

This tool saves you time and reduces errors. It's much faster to edit a table visually than to write out every `<tr>` and `<td>` tag. It also generates modern, best-practice code by separating the content (HTML) from the presentation (CSS), which makes your website easier to maintain.

What is a semantic HTML table?

A semantic HTML table uses tags like `<table>`, `<thead>` (for the header row), `<tbody>` (for the main data), `<tr>` (for rows), `<th>` (for header cells), and `<td>` (for data cells). Using these tags correctly helps search engines and screen readers understand your data's structure, which is great for both SEO and accessibility.

How do I use the generated code?

You should copy the generated HTML and paste it into your website's `.html` file where you want the table to appear. Then, copy the generated CSS and paste it into your site's `.css` stylesheet. Keeping the HTML and CSS separate is the modern standard for web development.

What is "Zebra Striping"?

"Zebra striping" is a design technique where you apply a different background color to every other row in a table. This makes large tables much easier for people to read by helping their eyes track across a single row without getting lost. Our tool generates the CSS for this automatically.

Is the data I enter kept private?

Yes, your data is 100% private. This tool runs entirely in your web browser. Nothing you type in the table is ever sent to our servers, ensuring your information remains confidential.
