HTML tfoot Tag

The HTML <tfoot> tag is used to define the footer section of a table. It is used to group the footer content of a table and is typically placed after the <tbody> or <thead> sections.

Here’s an example of how the <tfoot> 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 <tfoot> tag is used to enclose the footer row of the table. The content within the <tfoot> tag consists of one or more <tr> (table row) elements, which contain the footer cells <td> (table data) or <th> (table header) elements.

The <tfoot> section is typically used to display summary information, totals, or any other relevant data that pertains to the table content. It is rendered at the bottom of the table, below the <tbody> section.

The <tfoot> tag is optional, and you can omit it if your table does not require a footer section. However, if you have a footer that provides important information about the table data, it is recommended to use the <tfoot> tag to structure and semantically mark up the footer content.

You can apply CSS styles to the <tfoot> section to customize its appearance, such as changing the background color, font style, or alignment, to differentiate it from the table body or header sections.

By utilizing the <tfoot> tag appropriately, you can enhance the organization and clarity of your HTML tables by providing a distinct footer section to accommodate any relevant information or summary data.
