Definition and Usage
The <tbody>
tag is used to group the body content in an HTML table.
The <tbody>
element is used in conjunction with the <thead> and <tfoot> elements to specify each part of a table (body, header, footer).
Browsers can use these elements to enable scrolling of the table body independently of the header and footer. Also, when printing a large table that spans multiple pages, these elements can enable the table header and footer to be printed at the top and bottom of each page.
Note: The <tbody>
element must have one or more <tr> tags inside.
The <tbody>
tag must be used in the following context: As a child of a <table> element, after any <caption>, <colgroup>, and <thead> elements.
Tip: The <thead>, <tbody>
, and <tfoot> elements will not affect the layout of the table by default. However, you can use CSS to style these elements (see example below)!
