HTML - What is the TBODY tag used for?

Question

Answer 1

see a perfect explanation here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_tbody.asp

mervin, it's time for you to start studying about XHTML. In XHTML, end tag is _never_ optional. And attribute values _must_ always be enclosed with double quotes ("). And XHTML also _must_ use lowercase tags.

Answer 2

The thead, tfoot and tbody elements enable you to group rows in a table. When you create a table, you might want to have a header row, some rows with data, and a row with totals at bottom. This division enables browsers to support scrolling of table bodies independently of the table header and footer. When long tables are printed, the table header and footer information may be repeated on each page that contains table data.

The header and footer would stay in a fixed position, and you could scroll through the contents of the tbody.
