The HTML <thead> tag is used to provide a header to the group of content in an HTML table. Combining the <tbody> and <tfoot> elements with the <thead> element can help to specify each part of a table, i.e., the header, body, and footer. By using these elements, browsers allow the table body to scroll separately from the header and footer. To use the <thead> element, there must be more than one <tr> tag inside the table.

Syntax

<thead>
  // Table head Contents...
</thead>

Attributes
