<th> for rows?

J Vaughan

Hi. Simple question here. I am using a table (not for layout) as
follows:

<table>
<tr><th>Name:</th><td>Fred</td></tr>
<tr><th>Tel:</th><td>11111111</td></tr>
<tr><th>email:</th><td>f@example.invaild</td></tr>
</table>

Is it correct to use <th> in this context? Obviously the page displays
as I want, but is it the right way of doing it?

Absolutely. But you should consider adding markup to specify the
heading scope.

This a question of markup, not style. x-posted to ciwah, follow-ups set.

I think that is acceptable, since the text in the <th>'s could be
described as "headings" for the <td>'s next to them.
