Yes, you can have multiple tbody elements in a table. tbody is an implied element when you have *not* defined thead or tfoot in the table, otherwise it is required. @Ted You are only allowed one thead, and one tfoot (which must appear before tbody) per table. A heading for a tbody is th with scope=rowgroup. Of course, browser support for the scope attribute is patchy, but this is the semantically correct way of marking it up. It also gives you a really nice hook on which to apply your css: th[scope=rowgroup] Some samples of complex table markup: http://www.treasury.govt.nz/cms/samplemarkup/index.htm @people rushing to their favorite validators =) Yes, I'm aware of the missing alt, it's in the pipeline for a fix. See if you can find the error that the w3c validator misses.

[WSG] Adding a header to a tbody
Hi All Ive got a new question. Im building a large table and would like to add some tbody elements within a cell that discusses product features. I thought it would be nice to break it down between accessories, batteries, weight, good karma, etc. It would be even better if I could add a header to these elements. However, I cant think of a way this morning to add a header to a tbody. Im using a th on the first cell of each row and there is no need for thead in these subtable elements. Does anyone have a suggestion? Does this make sense? Ted

Re: [WSG] Adding a header to a tbody
Is there any rule against having more than one thead in a table? Could you do: thead/thead tbody/tbody thead/thead tbody/tbody etc... Just guessing, mightn't be permissible (given you can make the thead repeat with print stylesheets, I'd guess it's highly unlikely to be allowed...)
