Is there a way of using table-header-group and table-footer-group in a div instead of in a thead or tfoot?

+3  A: 

According to www.w3.org it is allowd to use display: table-header-group when the parent (the element containing the div) is displayed as a table or inline-table. So something like this should be allowed

<table>
  <div style="display: table-header-group;">header group</div>
</table>

If the parent is not a table, then it should be inserted, according to point 4 on the www.w3.org page.

The big problem is, whether all (major) browsers support this. Especially IE(6) is known for not supporting most kinds of display types.
