public class Tbody<T extends Tbody<T>> extends StyledElement<T>
Represents an HTML <tbody> element for grouping table body rows.

This class provides functionality to create and manage table body sections within HTML tables. The tbody element groups one or more <tr> elements containing the main data content of a table, distinct from header (<thead>) and footer (<tfoot>) sections. This semantic grouping improves table structure, accessibility, and enables independent styling and scrolling of table sections.

Features:

  • Groups table rows containing main body content
  • Provides semantic structure to HTML tables
  • Enables independent styling of table body rows
  • Supports scrollable body with fixed headers/footers
  • Can contain multiple row groups within a single table
  • Extends TableElement for table-specific functionality

Usage: 


 // Create a table with structured sections
 Table table = new Table();

 // Add header section
 Thead thead = new Thead();
 Tr headerRow = new Tr();
 headerRow.addElement(new Th("Name"));
 headerRow.addElement(new Th("Age"));
 thead.addElement(headerRow);
 table.addElement(thead);

 // Add body section
 Tbody tbody = new Tbody();
 Tr row1 = new Tr();
 row1.addElement(new Td("John"));
 row1.addElement(new Td("30"));
 tbody.addElement(row1);

 Tr row2 = new Tr();
 row2.addElement(new Td("Jane"));
 row2.addElement(new Td("25"));
 tbody.addElement(row2);
 table.addElement(tbody);

 // Multiple tbody elements for grouping
 Tbody group1 = new Tbody();
 // ... add rows
 Tbody group2 = new Tbody();
 // ... add rows
 table.addElement(group1);
 table.addElement(group2);
