Name
SCOPE — NN n/a IE n/a HTML 4
Synopsis
SCOPE=”scopeConstant"
Optional
The range of cells (relative to the current cell) that behave as
though the current cell is the header for those cells. For tables
whose structure is quite regular, the SCOPE
attribute is a simpler way of achieving what the
HEADERS
attribute does, without having to define
ID
attributes for the header cells.
Example
<TR> <TH SCOPE="col">Product Number <TH SCOPE="col">Description </TR> <TR> <TD>0392 <TD>Round widget </TR>
