HTMLTableElement: createTHead() method

The createTHead() method of HTMLTableElement objects returns the <thead> element associated with a given <table>. If no header exists in the table, this method creates it, and then returns it.

Note: If no header exists, createTHead() inserts a new header directly into the table. The header does not need to be added separately as would be the case if Document.createElement() had been used to create the new <thead> element.

Syntax

js

createTHead()

Parameters

None.

Return value

Examples

js

let myhead = mytable.createTHead();
// Now this should be true: myhead === mytable.tHead
