What is it?
This element is part of the Complex Table Model which allows a finer level of control than the Simple Table Model while maintaining backward compatibility with the simpler model. The TFOOT element is part of a trio of table grouping elements that organize a series of Table Rows [TR] into Header [THEAD], Body [TBODY] and Footer [TFOOT] sections.

The THEAD and TFOOT section markers are optional, but one or more TBODY sections are always required. If present, each THEAD, TBODY and TFOOT element must contain one or more TR tag grouping. To allow for backward compatibility with the older Simple Table Model, if no TBODY structures exist in a table, the entire set of row groupings [TR] are assumed to be a single TBODY.

The TFOOT section is used to duplicate footer information when a table must be broken across boundaries (such as printed pages, etc.) or for use as a static footer when TBODY elements are rendered in a scrolling panel. The TFOOT section (along with the THEAD section) is placed before any TBODY sections in the HTML markup to allow browsers to render the header and footer before receiving all of the Table Body [TBODY] data (in case a table must be broken up.)
