Browser Support

Internet Explorer Firefox Opera Google Chrome Safari

The <tbody> tag is supported in all major browsers.

Definition and Usage

The <tbody> tag is used to group the body content in an HTML table.

The <tbody> element is used in conjunction with the <thead> and <tfoot> elements to specify each part of a table (body, header, footer).

Browsers can use these elements to enable scrolling of the table body independently of the header and footer. Also, when printing a large table that spans multiple pages, these elements can enable the table header and footer to be printed at the top and bottom of each page.

The <tbody> tag must be used in the following context: As a child of a <table> element, after any <caption>, <colgroup>, and <thead> elements.

Differences Between HTML 4.01 and HTML5

None of the HTML 4.01 attributes are supported in HTML5.

Tips and Notes

Note: The <tbody> element must have one or more <tr> tags inside.

Tip: The <thead>, <tbody>, and <tfoot> elements will not affect the layout of the table by default. However, you can use CSS to let these elements affect the table's layout.
