1. Re: <tbody> tags in tables : Useful, or useless?
MurraySummers Jun 7, 2013 9:17 AM (in response to jyeager11)<tbody> is normal in a well built table. It's marginally useful. But then tables in general would have the same qualifications (in my opinion). It's been literally years since I've built pages using tables.
If you must use tables, though, I'd ignore this tag and get on with learning CSS layout.

2. Re: <tbody> tags in tables : Useful, or useless?
Nancy O. Jun 7, 2013 9:18 AM (in response to jyeager11)<tbody>, <thead> and <tfoot> tags arose out of a desire to make complex table based layouts more web accessible to screen readers. I never use table-based layouts so I have no need for these tags.

Mike M Jun 7, 2013 10:02 AM (in response to jyeager11)Tables should be used for tabular data (lists, and maybe galleries, but not always): not for layouts.
When I do insert tables in pages I use the <tbody> tags, <thead> and <tfoot> I don't.
