HTML5 Document
If you created a new web page in HTML5, your <colgroup> tag might look like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>HTML5 Example by www.techonthenet.com</title>

<body>
<table>
<colgroup>
<col span="3" style="background-color:#FFF9C4;">

</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Item</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Price</th>
<th>Total</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Bananas</td>
<td>5</td>
<td>$12</td>
<td>$60</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

</html>
In this HTML5 Document example, we have created a table with <colgroup>, <thead> and <tbody> sections. Within the <colgroup> section, we've used two <col> tags. The first <col> tag groups the first three columns and sets the background color of the columns to #FFF9C4. The second <col> tag groups the 4th column and sets its background color to yellow.
