HTML <tfoot> Tag
To define a group of rows as the footer of an HTML table, the HTML <tfoot> tag is used. It is used as a child of the <table> element along with the <tbody> and <thead> tags. The HTML <tfoot> tag, however, does not affect the layout of the table but is used for providing semantic information. One or more <tr> elements must be placed within a <tfoot> tag.
Syntax:
<tfoot> <tr></tr> <tr></tr> </tfoot>
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> thead {background-color:lightgray;} tbody {background-color:pink;} tfoot {background-color:wheat;} table, th, td { border: 2px solid brown; } </style> </head> <body> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>NAME</th> <th>AGE</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Tom</td> <td>20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Jerry</td> <td>10</td> </tr> </tbody> <tfoot> <tr> <td>Average</td> <td>15</td> </tr> </tfoot> </table> </body> </html>
Explanation:
In the above example, we have displayed the use of the HTML <tfoot> tag along with the other HTML table tags. We thus defined the footer in the above table.
