How to Add Columns in HTML — Like a Boss

Adding columns in HTML is a neat way to improve your reader’s journey because it makes your data far more digestible.

Trouble is, columns in HTML are added using the table tag, and since that is not responsive, it is not the best option.

Using the HTML table tag spans your columns the width of the screen it is displayed on.

There are two methods to add columns in HTML. Which one you use depends on your intent for the columns, because technically, one is a table, and the other uses HTML and CSS columns.

Where the intent is to use columns for design purposes, such as the layout of a webpage, HTML/CSS would be the better choice because those are responsive columns.

For comparison columns that perhaps only show icons or small segments of data, the HTML table tag for columns may suffice.

Follow along with the HTML tutorial below to learn all there is to know about adding HTML columns with and without CSS.

How to add columns in HTML

Adding columns in HTML is done using the table tag along with the style tag to set the max width. It is not recommended because HTML only is not responsive. Modern browsers use HTML and CSS3 to display responsive columns.

Step 1: Set your table width

When you open a table tag, the style width can be applied in-line without inserting it into the style section of your HTML document.
