<thead> - HTML 5

The <thead> tag is used to group header content in an HTML table.
The <thead> element is used in conjunction with the 
<tbody> and <tfoot> elements to specify each 
part of a table (header, body, footer).
Browsers can use these elements to enable scrolling of the table body 
independently of the header and footer. Also, when printing a large table that 
spans multiple pages, these elements can enable the table header and footer to 
be printed at the top and bottom of each page.
The <thead> tag must be used in the following context: As a child of a 
<table> element, after any <caption>, and <colgroup> elements, and before any <tbody>, 
<tfoot>, and <tr> elements.

Syntax
