Use the tfoot tag. It must appear before the tbody tag. See also: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.3

<table>
    <thead><tr><td colspan="5">This is the header and should span all columns.</td></tr></thead>
    <tfoot><tr><td colspan="5">This is the footer and should span all columns.</td></tr></tfoot>
    <tbody>
        <tr><td>11</td><td>12</td><td>13</td><td>14</td><td>15</td>
        <tr><td>21</td><td>22</td><td>23</td><td>24</td><td>25</td>
        <tr><td>31</td><td>32</td><td>33</td><td>34</td><td>35</td>
    </tbody>
</table>
