T head

The T head and T body tags work together to define the structure of a complex table. A complex table has more than one header row. In this case, the first row describes the direction of a bus route, and the second row describes intersections where the bus stops.

Code Example:

<thead>
<tr>
<th colspan="6" id="dir">Northbound</th>
</tr>
<tr><th id="intersection1">Sixth & Congress</th>
<th id="intersection1">Eleventh & Congress</th>
<th id="intersection1">Twelfth & Lavaca</th>
<th id="intersection1">Fifteenth & Lavaca</th>
<th id="intersection1">Martin Luther King & Lavaca</th>
<th id="intersection1">Twenty-fourth & Guadalupe</th>
</tr>

<tbody>
<tr>
<td headers="dir intersection1">10:33am</td>
<td headers="dir intersection1">10:36am</td>
<td headers="dir intersection1">10:42am</td>
<td headers="dir intersection1">10:45am</td>
<td headers="dir intersection1">10:50am</td>
<td headers="dir intersection1">10:55am</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
