Due to the widespread use of tables across third-party widgets like calendars and date pickers, we've designed our tables to be **opt-in**. Just add the base class `.table` to any `
`.
## Contents
* Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header
{:toc}
## Basic example
{% example html %}

## Table head options
Use one of two modifier classes to make ``s appear light or dark gray.
{% example html %}

## Striped rows
Use `.table-striped` to add zebra-striping to any table row within the ``.
{% example html %}

## Responsive tables
Create responsive tables by wrapping any `.table` in `.table-responsive` to make them scroll horizontally on small devices (under 768px). When viewing on anything larger than 768px wide, you will not see any difference in these tables.
{% callout warning %}
#### Vertical clipping/truncation
Responsive tables make use of `overflow-y: hidden`, which clips off any content that goes beyond the bottom or top edges of the table. In particular, this can clip off dropdown menus and other third-party widgets.
{% endcallout %}
{% callout warning %}
#### Firefox and fieldsets
Firefox has some awkward fieldset styling involving `width` that interferes with the responsive table. This cannot be overridden without a Firefox-specific hack that we **don't** provide in Bootstrap:
{% highlight css %}
@-moz-document url-prefix() {
fieldset { display: table-cell; }
}
{% endhighlight %}

### Reflow
Turn traditional tables on their side by using `table-reflow`. When using reflow, the table header becomes the first column of the table, the first row within the table body becomes the second column, the second row becomes the third column, etc.
{% callout warning %}
#### Content order and complex tables
Beware that the `table-reflow` style changes the visual order of content. Make sure that you only apply this style to well-formed and simple data tables (and in particular, don't use this for layout tables) with appropriate `` table header cells for each row and column.
In addition, this class will not work correctly for tables with cells that span multiple rows or columns (using `rowspan` or `colspan` attributes).
