docs	Tables	Documentation and examples for styling tables with Bootstrap.	content

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 <table>, then extend with custom styles or our various included modifier classes.

Contents

• Will be replaced with the ToC, excluding the "Contents" header {:toc}

Examples

Using the most basic table markup, here's how .table-based tables look in Bootstrap. All table styles are inherited in Bootstrap 4, meaning any nested tables will be styled in the same manner as the parent.

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry	the Bird	@twitter

{% endexample %}

You can also invert the colors—with light text on dark backgrounds—with .table-inverse.

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry	the Bird	@twitter

{% endexample %}

Table head options

Similar to default and inverse tables, use one of two modifier classes to make <thead>s appear light or dark gray.

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry	the Bird	@twitter

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry	the Bird	@twitter

{% endexample %}

Striped rows

Use .table-striped to add zebra-striping to any table row within the <tbody>.

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry	the Bird	@twitter

{% endexample %}

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry	the Bird	@twitter

{% endexample %}

Bordered table

Add .table-bordered for borders on all sides of the table and cells.

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Mark	Otto	@TwBootstrap
3	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
4	Larry the Bird		@twitter

{% endexample %}

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Mark	Otto	@TwBootstrap
3	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
4	Larry the Bird		@twitter

{% endexample %}

Hoverable rows

Add .table-hover to enable a hover state on table rows within a <tbody>.

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

{% endexample %}

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

{% endexample %}

Small table

Add .table-sm to make tables more compact by cutting cell padding in half.

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

{% endexample %}

{% example html %}

#	First Name	Last Name	Username
1	Mark	Otto	@mdo
2	Jacob	Thornton	@fat
3	Larry the Bird		@twitter

{% endexample %}

Contextual classes

Use contextual classes to color table rows or individual cells.

Class	Description
.table-active	Applies the hover color to a particular row or cell
.table-success	Indicates a successful or positive action
.table-info	Indicates a neutral informative change or action
.table-warning	Indicates a warning that might need attention
.table-danger	Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action

#	Column heading	Column heading	Column heading
1	Column content	Column content	Column content
2	Column content	Column content	Column content
3	Column content	Column content	Column content
4	Column content	Column content	Column content
5	Column content	Column content	Column content
6	Column content	Column content	Column content
7	Column content	Column content	Column content
8	Column content	Column content	Column content
9	Column content	Column content	Column content

{% highlight html %}

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... {% endhighlight %}

Regular table background variants are not available with the inverse table, however, you may use [text or background utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/utilities/colors/) to achieve similar styles.

#	Column heading	Column heading	Column heading
1	Column content	Column content	Column content
2	Column content	Column content	Column content
3	Column content	Column content	Column content
4	Column content	Column content	Column content
5	Column content	Column content	Column content
6	Column content	Column content	Column content
7	Column content	Column content	Column content
8	Column content	Column content	Column content
9	Column content	Column content	Column content

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 %}

#	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading
1	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell
2	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell
3	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell

#	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading
1	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell
2	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell
3	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell

{% highlight html %}

{% 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 <th> 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).
