Browser Support
All major browsers support the <tfoot> tag.
Tag Definition and Usage Instructions
The <tfoot> tag is used to group footer content in an HTML table.
The <tfoot> element should be used together with <thead>and<tbody>elements in combination to define the various parts of the table (footer, header, body).
By using these elements, browsers are able to support table body scrolling independent of the table header and footer. When a long table that spans multiple pages is printed, the table header and footer can be printed on each page that contains table data.
The <tfoot> tag must be used in the following context: as a child of a <table> element, appearing after <caption>, <colgroup>, and <thead> elements, and before <tbody> and <tr> elements.
Tips and Notes
Note:The <tfoot> element must contain one or more <tr> tags inside.
Tip:The <thead>, <tbody>, and <tfoot> elements do not affect the table layout by default. However, you can use CSS to style these elements and change the table's appearance.
