Table createTFoot() Method

Table Object

Definition and Usage

The createTFoot() method creates an empty tfoot element and adds it to the table.

Note: If a tfoot element already exists on the table, the createTFoot() method returns the existing one, and does not create a new one.

Tip: To remove the tfoot element from a table, use the deleteTFoot() method.

Syntax

tableObject.createTFoot()

Browser Support

The createTFoot() method is supported in all major browsers.

Example

Create and delete a tfoot element:

<html>
<head>
<script>
function createTFoot()
{
var x=document.getElementById("myTable");
if (!x.tFoot)
{
var footer=x.createTFoot();
var row=footer.insertRow(0);
var cell=row.insertCell(0);
cell.innerHTML="<b>This is a table footer.</b>";
}
}
function deleteTFoot()
{
document.getElementById("myTable").deleteTFoot();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>

<table id="myTable" border="1">
<tr>
    <td>cell 1</td>
    <td>cell 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>cell 3</td>
    <td>cell 4</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<button type="button" onclick="createTFoot()">Create tfoot</button>
<button type="button" onclick="deleteTFoot()">Delete tfoot</button>

</body>
</html>
