## Interface HTMLTableElement

All Superinterfaces:
  Element, HTMLElement, Node

    public interface HTMLTableElement
    extends HTMLElement

The create* and delete* methods on the table allow authors to constructand modify tables. HTML 4.0 specifies that only one of each of the `CAPTION`, `THEAD`, and `TFOOT`elements may exist in a table. Therefore, if one exists, and thecreateTHead() or createTFoot() method is called, the method returnsthe existing THead or TFoot element. See the TABLE element definition in HTML 4.0.
