This object represents the <COL> tag, which is used within <TABLE> constructs to provide a way of controlling an entire table column from a single definition. It is used in conjunction with a <COLGROUP> construct.

The HTML 4 specification describes functionality that currently none of the widely available browsers supports properly.

The DOM specification describes a HTMLTableColElement object, which is the standardized interface to this class.
