Description
The createTFoot() method creates an empty <tfoot> element and adds it to the table.
Note: If a <tfoot> element already exists on the table, the createTFoot() method returns the existing one, and does not create a new one.
Note: The <tfoot> element must have one or more <tr> tags inside.
Tip: To remove the <tfoot> element from a table, use the deleteTFoot() method.
