Table with footer – HTML

Demo

Summary

Tables are used to show tabular data on a web page.

Details

<table>
  <!-- Caption -->
  <caption>Caption for table</caption>

  <!-- Head -->
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Header 1</th>
      <th>Header 2</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>

  <!-- Body -->
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th>Row Header</th>
      <td>Cell</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
      <th>Row Header</th>
      <td>Cell</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>

  <!-- Footer -->
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <th>Footer Header</th>
      <td>Cell</td>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>

This table is similar to the table with a caption, head, and body, except that it wraps the last row element in a tfoot element. According to MDN, this extra element doesn’t have any accessibility benefits, but can be useful for styling the section of the table with CSS.
