HTMLTableElement: tBodies property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The HTMLTableElement.tBodies read-only property returns a live {{domxref("HTMLCollection")}} of the bodies in a {{htmlElement("table")}}.

Although the property is read-only, the returned object is live and allows the modification of its content.

The collection returned includes implicit {{HTMLElement("tbody")}} elements. For example:

<table>
  <tr>
    <td>cell one</td>
  </tr>
</table>

The HTML DOM generated from the above HTML will have a {{HTMLElement("tbody")}} element even though the tags are not included in the source HTML.

Value

A live {{domxref("HTMLCollection")}}.

Examples
