What is HTML <tbody> tag ?
HTML <tbody> tag is used to group the body content in an HTML table.
HTML <tbody> tag represents body of data for the <table> element.
HTML <tbody> tag must be a child of <table> element.
HTML <tbody> tag encapsulates a set of table rows <tr> by which indicating that they comprise the body of the table <table>.
Note : HTML <tbody> element must have one or more <tr> tags inside.
How HTML <tbody> tag works ?
HTML <tbody> tag is used in conjunction with the <thead> and <tfoot> elements that specifies table header, table footer respectively.
HTML <tbody> tag must be a direct descendant of a <table> element and is used to identify <tr> and <td> elements that comprise the body of the table.
HTML <tbody> tag should always come after a <thead> tag and may come before or after a <tfoot> element.
Normally browsers can use <tbody> information to enable scrolling of the table body independently of the header and footer.
Note : HTML <thead>, <tbody>, and <tfoot> elements will not affect the layout of the table by default. However, you can use CSS to style these elements.
Why HTML <tbody> tag is used ?
HTML <table> tag along with <tbody> tag is used to represent and group the body content of the HTML table.
Note : More than one <tbody> elements can be used for each table as long as they are all successive, This behaviour will separate the rows in large tables into sections and we can be able to format each of them separately.
