Vertical and Horizontal Headers in a table?

Question

How would I get a table with both horizontal and vertical headers?

So e.g.

         header1 header2 header3 
header1    1        1      1
header2    2          


        

Answer 1

Like @UlrichSchwarz said, you can just use <th> instead of <td> in the first column. Using scope, you can make it more semantically descriptive:

<table>
  <tr>
    <th></th>
    <th scope="col">header1</th>
    <th scope="col">header2</th>
    <th scope="col">header3</th>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th scope="row">header 1</th>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>1</td>
    <td>1</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th scope="row">header 2</th>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>2</td>
    <td>2</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <th scope="row">header 3</th>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>3</td>
    <td>3</td>
  </tr>
</table>

Answer 2

While you can still just <th> the entries in the first column, there is no column-equivalent of <thead>/<tbody> that I'm aware of.

Answer 3

easy. Just leave the first td in the first tr - empty
