But it has also a reference to WCAG-Guidelines. Ok, I have a question about the use of the elements THEAD, TBODY and TFOOT. In the xhtml-dtd the element TABLE is described as followed: <!ELEMENT table (caption?, (col*|colgroup*), thead?, tfoot?, (tbody+|tr+))> In my opinion, none of the elements THEAD, TBODY and TFOOT dependent on another element. I can use every element as "stand alone" element. On some websites (for example: w3c-schools -> xhtml) it is said, that every element of those three elements is used with each other of those three elements: The three Elements can only be used all together and not "stand alone". But: In the document "HTML Techniques for WCAG 2.0" explainded the use of those elements as followed: > Use thead to group repeated table headers, tfoot for > repeated table footers, and tbody for other groups of rows. There is no talk about a reference between those elements. What is the correct use of the elements THEAD, TBODY and TFOOT?
