HTML tfoot Tag

The HTML tfoot tag is used for adding a footer to a table.

The tfoot tag is used in conjunction with the tbody tag and the thead tag in determining each part of the table (header, footer, body). Browsers can use this information to enable scrolling of the table body independently of the header and footer - particuarly useful for large tables. Also, when printing a large table that spans multiple pages, this information can enable the table header and footer to be printed at the top and bottom of each page.

Note: You need to declare the footer at the top of the table, before the tbody, so that the browser/user agent can process it first prior to all the tbody data.
