Definition and Usage
The <tbody> tag is used to group the body content in an HTML table.
The tbody element should be used in conjunction with the thead and tfoot
elements.
The thead element is used to group the header content in an HTML table and the
tfoot element is used to group the footer content in an HTML table.
Note: <tfoot> must appear before <tbody> within a table, so that a browser can
render the foot before receiving all the rows of data.
Notice that these elements will not affect the layout of the table by default.
However, you can use CSS to let these elements affect the table's layout.
Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML 5
None of the HTML 4.01 attributes are supported in HTML 5.
Tips and Notes
Note: The <tbody> must have a <tr> tag inside!
Note: If you use one of the thead, tfoot and tbody elements, you should use
all of them.
