I have just begun to learn js. I have basic html knowledge, but what do the <td> and <tr> tags stand for. It's almost definately something i've missed, but cannot find any specific reference to them, i just wanna know what they mean. please help! xcheers

<TR><TD> are the row and column tags within <TABLE ...>s.

Am not sure of this, not having done much "original" <SCRIPT ...> coding myself, but it appears they are used within SCRIPTs when defining a <TABLE ...> that does or does not appear on a web page depending upon the occurrence of some other event.


Someone else with more knowledge should pop-in here with more accurate information.

Thats right, <td> is a table cell. Cells have content in them. <tr> is a table row. Rows contain table cells.

<tr><td>I love Badgers</td><td>As do I</td></tr>

The only relevance they have to any kind of scripting is the same as any other structural html tag. You can use a script to write them, but apart from that, no other meaning within scripts.

<tr> stands for "table row" and <td> stand for "table data".
<tr> defines a row in table, <td> defines the content data of each cell in a raw.

tag set makes up like this,

<table>
<tr>
<td>
this is data for first cell in a raw.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
