default value of this attribute is one (1). A value of zero (0) means that the cell will extend
from the current row until the last row of the table (<thead>, <tbody>, or <tfoot>).

colspan = A non-negative integer that specifies the number of columns spanned by the current
cell. The default value of this attribute is one (1). A value of zero (0) means that the cell
will extend from the current to the last column of the column group <colgroup> in which the cell
is defined.

Table with thead, tbody, tfoot, and caption

HTML also provides the tables with the <thead>, <tbody>, <tfoot>, and <caption> elements. These
additional elements are useful for adding semantic value to your tables and for providing a
place for separate CSS styling.

When printing out a table that doesn't fit onto one (paper) page, most browsers repeat the
contents of <thead> on every page.

There's a specific order that must be adhered to, and we should be aware that not every element
falls into place as one would expect. The following example demonstrates how our 4 elements
should be placed.

<table>
<caption>Table Title</caption> <!--| caption is the first child of table |-->
<thead> <!--======================| thead is after caption |-->
<tr>
<th>Header content 1</th>
<th>Header content 2</th>
</tr>
</thead>

<tbody> <!--======================| tbody is after thead |-->
<tr>
<td>Body content 1</td>
<td>Body content 2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

<tfoot><!--| tfoot can be placed before or after tbody, but not in a group of tbody. |-->
<!--| Regardless where tfoot is in markup, it's rendered at the bottom. |-->

<tr>
<td>Footer content 1</td>
<td>Footer content 2</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>

</table>

The following example's results are demonstrated twice--the first table lacks any styles, the
second table has a few CSS properties applied: background-color, color, and border*. The styles
are provided as a visual guide and is not an essential aspect of the topic at hand.
