Hi Quentin,

I am enjoying your videos, they are refreshing and updating my knowledge. I noticed that you took out the <thead> tag indicating that it was not really necessary. I would like to point out that the <thead>, <tbody>, and <tfoot> tags are part of semantic markup. Although they do not help the visual appearance of the table, they do help screen readers describe the content to people with visual impairments.

Thanks, Carolyn

Hi QW
Great series on tables. You mentioned how SQL and HTML tables are completely different. I'm learning SQL which made this question pop into my head: Surely, there's a way to have an HTML table display SQL data inside. So, before I embark on figuring out how to do it, would you recommend that as a method of displaying SQL data? Or Is there a simpler way other than using an HTML table? I don't want to beat my head against a wall trying to write the code if there's an easier more effective way.
