How to Define a Table Footer in HTML

HTML tables can include headers and footers in addition to their body. The advantage of using headers and footers is that the browser can repeat them on each page when the table is large. Footers are a convenient way to add information such as totals to the bottom of a table.

Instructions

Find or create the table (

element) to which you want to add a footer.

Insert the skeleton for the footer by creating an opening

and closing tag somewhere between the initial

and the beginning of the table body.

Format the table footer as desired by adding STYLE, CLASS or other attributes such as ALIGN.

Create individual cells in the footer row by adding

elements between the opening and closing tags.

Tips & Warnings

Note that certain browsers, especially older ones, may not support table footers.
The table footer must come before the body, so that the browser can render it on the first page before reading in the entire body, if necessary.
