HTML 4 tbody Tag
Also see HTML5 <tbody>
Tag.
This page is for the HTML 4 version of this element. For a more up to date version, see HTML5 <tbody>
Tag.
The HTML <tbody>
tag is used for grouping table rows.
The tbody tag is used in conjunction with the <thead>
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.
Also see the <table>
tag.
