HTML tbody Tag

The HTML <tbody> tag is used to group a set of table rows (<tr>) together to define the body content of a table. It is typically used in conjunction with the <table> and <thead> (table head) and <tfoot> (table footer) tags to structure and organize the different sections of a table.

Here’s an example of how the <tbody> tag can be used:

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>Header 1</th>
      <th>Header 2</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td>Data 1</td>
      <td>Data 2</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Data 3</td>
      <td>Data 4</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
  <tfoot>
    <tr>
      <td>Footer 1</td>
      <td>Footer 2</td>
    </tr>
  </tfoot>
</table>

In the above example, the <tbody> tag is used to group the table rows that represent the body content of the table. Each <tr> element within the <tbody> tag represents a table row, and <td> elements within the rows represent table data cells.

The <tbody> tag is not strictly required in HTML tables. If it is omitted, the browser will still interpret the table rows within the <table> tag as the table body. However, including the <tbody> tag explicitly helps to improve the structure and readability of the table, especially when combined with the <thead> and <tfoot> sections.

By using the <tbody> tag, you can logically group and distinguish the body content of a table from its header and footer sections. This can make it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to navigate and interpret the table structure correctly.
