HTMLTableElement: tBodies property
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The tBodies read-only property of the HTMLTableElement interface returns a live HTMLCollection of all <tbody> element children of the given <table>.
Although the property is read-only, the returned object is live and is automatically updated when the HTMLTableElement changes.
The collection returned includes implicit <tbody> elements. For example:
html
<table>
<tr>
<td>cell one</td>
</tr>
</table>
The HTML DOM generated from the above HTML will have a <tbody> element even though the tags are not included in the source HTML.
Value
A live HTMLCollection of HTMLTableSectionElement (which are all tbody) objects.
Examples
This snippet gets the number of bodies in a table.
js
myTable.tBodies.length;
