The TBODY element defines a group of data rows in a table. A TABLE must have one or more TBODY elements, which must follow the optional TFOOT. The TBODY end tag is always optional. The start tag is optional when the table contains only one TBODY and no THEAD or TFOOT

For example :

<TABLE RULES=GROUPS FRAME=BOX>

<THEAD>
<TR> <TH>Weekday</TH> <TH>Date</TH> <TH>Manager</TH> </TR>
</THEAD>

<TBODY>
<TR> <TD>Monday</TD> <TD>09/11/2000</TD> <TD>Kelsey</TD> </TR>
<TR> <TD>Tuesday</TD> <TD>09/12/2000</TD> <TD>Lindsey</TD> </TR>
<TR> <TD>Wednesday</TD> <TD>09/13/2000</TD> <TD>Randy</TD> </TR>
