HTMLTableElement: createTFoot() method

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The createTFoot() method of HTMLTableElement objects returns the <tfoot> element associated with a given <table>. If no footer exists in the table, this method creates it, and then returns it.

Note: If no footer exists, createTFoot() inserts a new footer directly into the table. The footer does not need to be added separately as would be the case if Document.createElement() had been used to create the new <tfoot> element.

Syntax

js
createTFoot()

Parameters

None.

Return value

HTMLTableSectionElement

Examples

js
let myfoot = mytable.createTFoot();
// Now this should be true: myfoot === mytable.tFoot
