HTML tfoot element

3 tags 1 category

The <tfoot> HTML element encapsulates a set of table rows (<tr> elements), indicating that they comprise the foot of a table with information about the table’s columns. This is usually a summary of the columns, e.g., a sum of the given numbers in a column.

The <tfoot> is placed after any <caption>, <colgroup>, <thead>, <tbody>, and <tr> elements. Along with its related <thead> and <tbody> elements, the <tfoot> element provides useful semantic information and can be used when rendering for either screen or print. Specifying such table content groups also provides valuable contextual information for assistive technologies, including screen readers and search engines. When printing a document, in the case of a multipage table, the table foot usually specifies information that is output as an intermediate summary on each page.
