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