Using style

#

The style attribute specifies the style, i.e. look and feel, of the <tfoot> element.

A style contains any number of CSS property/value pairs, separated by semicolons (;).

The style attribute overrides any other style that was defined in a <style> tag or an external CSS file.

This inline styling affects the current <tfoot> element only.

Syntax

#

<tfoot style="CSS-styles">

Values

<script>
  let toggle = () => {
     let element = document.getElementById("mytfoot");

     if (element.style.backgroundColor === "lightblue") {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "#222";
       element.style.color = "#fff";
    } else {
       element.style.backgroundColor = "lightblue";
       element.style.color = "#222";
    }
  }
</script>

Code explanation

The style attribute assigns a background and text colors to the <tfoot> element.

Clicking the button calls JavaScript which toggles the background and text color to different value.
