HTML tbody Tag

Last Updated : 21 May, 2026

The HTML <tbody> tag defines the body section of a table, grouping the main data rows separately from the header and footer.

  • Placed inside a <table> and contains <tr> (table rows) with <td> (data cells).
  • Separates table data from <thead> (header) and <tfoot> (footer).
  • Improves table structure, readability, and accessibility.

Syntax:

<tbody> // Table contents </tbody>

Attributes

  • align: The align attribute sets the horizontal alignment of the content.
  • valign: The valign attribute sets the vertical alignment of the content.
  • char: The char attribute aligns content based on a specific character.
  • charoff: The charoff attribute specifies the offset from the alignment character.

Note: These attributes were supported in HTML 4.01 but are not supported in HTML5.

Example:  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."
