Since we are now dealing with tables, the parent will be tables (//tables)step - 2 : Add the child Elements: Since for every table

. And is usually considered as the child element of . And all child elements will be placed to the right of the parent element and these are separated by one forward flash 

Add predicates :

From the code shown above, this contains two tags. And these elements were called as the  child elements. Moreover, these elements is called as siblings.

Accessing Nested tables :

A table within a table is called the Nested tables.   In HTML , we can execute the nested tables with the following code

One	Two
