The thead tag
The thead tag defines the top of the table. It is used to group rows so that CSS styles can be applied to a group at once. There can only be one thead tag in one table.
The thead tag is often used in conjunction with tbody and tfoot to define the header, body, and footer of an HTML table.
Example
Let's add red text color to the group of rows united by the thead tag using the color property:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Surn</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>name1</td>
<td>surn1</td>
<td>200$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>name2</td>
<td>surn2</td>
<td>1000$</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td>count: 2</td>
<td>-</td>
<td>total: 1200$</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
</table>
thead {
color: red;
}
table, td, th {
border: 1px solid black;
}
:
Example
And here thead is not on top, and tfoot is not on the bottom, nevertheless the browser will put them in their places:
<table>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td>count: 2</td>
<td>-</td>
<td>total: 1200$</td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>name1</td>
<td>surn1</td>
<td>200$</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>name2</td>
<td>surn2</td>
<td>1000$</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Surn</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
table, td, th {
border: 1px solid black;
}
