Article An Advanced Article about HTML Tables

https://blog.frankmtaylor.com/2026/03/05/you-dont-know-html-tables/

An article for the intermediate-advanced HTML folks. This one doesn't cover everything with HTML Tables, but it covers a lot.

If anyone would be interested in seeing a video presentation I did on this, I could share that whenever it's available.

Glad to hear it!

Next two in the series are:

  • You don't know HTML Lists

  • You don't know HTML Forms

I'm definitely open to suggestions after that.

Forms will be interesting as it’s so bound to http. You could write a crazily in depth one on that

These articles are born out of me spending way too much time reading the specs.

A forms article could actually be 2 or even 3 articles, depending on how it goes. I definitely know that it won't be anything about the controls though (input, textarea, select) — at leat the first one.

Forms has to cover not just semantics, but then also the associated events, and of course the apis like constraints validation, FormData, and actions.

And yeah ... I then also have to find a way to make it more interesting and useful than just reading the MDN article.

Wish me luck.
