HTML <tbody> Tag

Description:

The <tbody> tag is used for grouping table rows.

The <tbody> tag is used in conjunction with the <thead> tag and the <thead> tag in determining each part of the table (header, footer, body). Browsers can use this information to enable scrolling of the table body independently of the header and footer - particularly useful for large tables.
