        </title
          
        <script src
        </script>
          
        <style>
            #myCol {
                background:green;
            }
            table {
                color:white;
            }
            #Geek_p {
                color:green;
                font-size:30px;
            }
            td {
                padding:10px;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
      
    <body
        <center>    
        <h1 style = "color:green;"
            GeeksForGeeks 
        </h1
          
        <strong>

            a new row in the table
        </strong>

                <col id="myCol"
                    span="2">
                <col style="background-color:green">
            </colgroup>
              
            <tr>
                <th>S.No</th>
                <th>Title</th>
                <th>Geek_id</th>
            </tr>
            <tr id = "row1">
                <td>Geek_1</td>
                <td>GeekForGeeks</td>
                <th>Geek_id_1</th>
            </tr>

                <td>GeeksForGeeks</td>
                <th>Geek_id_3</th>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <br>

        <!-- Script to insert new row in a table -->
