Definition and Usage
The <thead> tag is used to group the header content in an HTML table.
The thead element should be used in conjunction with the
tbody and tfoot
elements.
The tbody element is used to group the body content in an HTML table and
the tfoot element is used to group the footer content in an HTML table.
Notice that these elements will not affect the layout of the table by default. However,
you can use CSS to let these elements affect the table's layout.
Browser Support
The <thead> tag is only partially supported in all major browsers.
