HTML tbody Tag

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

The <tbody> tag in HTML is used to make a group of the same type of content of body element. This tag is used in HTML tables with header and footer which is known as "thread" and "tfoot". <tbody> tag is child tag of the table tag and the parent tag of <tr> and <td> tags.

Syntax:

<tbody> // Table contents   </tbody>

Attributes: Some attributes are supported by <tbody> tag in HTML4.1 but not supported in HTML5. The list of attributes is given below:

align: Set the alignment of the content.
valign: Set the vertical alignment of the content.
char: Set the alignment of content inside <thead> tag to a character.
charoff: It is used to set the character's content inside the <thead> tag aligned from the character specified by the char attribute.

Example: In this example we are using the <tbody> tag to group the body content of an HTML table. It contains rows with data for "Shashank" and "GeeksforGeeks" under "Name" and "User Id."
