Tables

Documentation and examples for opt-in styling of tables (given their prevalent use in JavaScript plugins) with Bootstrap.

Overview

Due to the widespread use of <table> elements across third-party widgets like calendars and date pickers, Bootstrap's tables are opt-in. Add the base class .table to any <table>, then extend with our optional modifier classes or custom styles. All table styles are inherited in Bootstrap, meaning any nested tables will be styled in the same manner as the parent.

Using the most basic table markup, here's how .table-based tables look in Bootstrap.

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

<table class="table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First</th>
      <th scope="col">Last</th>
      <th scope="col">Handle</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Options

Inverted

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

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

<table class="table table-dark">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">First</th>
      <th scope="col">Last</th>
      <th scope="col">Handle</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">1</th>
      <td>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@mdo</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">2</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>

      <td>Larry</td>
      <td>the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>

</table>

Striped rows

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

#	First	Last	Handle

Bordered

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

<table class="table table-bordered">

No borders

Add .table-borderless for a table without borders.

#	First	Last	Handle

<table class="table table-borderless">

  <tbody>

      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>

Vertical alignment

Table cells of <thead> are always vertical aligned to the bottom. Table cells in <tbody> inherit their alignment from <table> and are aligned to the the top by default.

Heading 1	Heading 2	Heading 2	Heading 4
This cell inherits `vertical-align: middle;` from the table	This cell inherits `vertical-align: middle;` from the table	This cell inherits `vertical-align: middle;` from the table	Nulla vitae elit libero, a pharetra augue. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum. Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper.

Variants

Use contextual classes to color table rows or individual cells.

Class	Heading	Heading
Active	Cell	Cell
Default	Cell	Cell
Primary	Cell	Cell
Secondary	Cell	Cell
Success	Cell	Cell
Danger	Cell	Cell
Warning	Cell	Cell
Info	Cell	Cell
Light	Cell	Cell
Dark	Cell	Cell

<!-- On rows -->
<tr class="table-active">...</tr>

<tr class="table-primary">...</tr>
<tr class="table-secondary">...</tr>
<tr class="table-success">...</tr>
<tr class="table-danger">...</tr>
<tr class="table-warning">...</tr>
<tr class="table-info">...</tr>
<tr class="table-light">...</tr>
<tr class="table-dark">...</tr>

<!-- On cells (`td` or `th`) -->
<tr>
  <td class="table-active">...</td>

  <td class="table-primary">...</td>
  <td class="table-secondary">...</td>
  <td class="table-success">...</td>
  <td class="table-danger">...</td>
  <td class="table-warning">...</td>
  <td class="table-info">...</td>
  <td class="table-light">...</td>
  <td class="table-dark">...</td>
</tr>

Regular table background variants are not available with the dark table, however, you may use text or background utilities to achieve similar styles.

#	Heading	Heading
1	Cell	Cell
2	Cell	Cell
3	Cell	Cell
4	Cell	Cell
5	Cell	Cell
6	Cell	Cell
7	Cell	Cell
8	Cell	Cell
9	Cell	Cell

<!-- On rows -->
<tr class="primary">...</tr>
<tr class="bg-success">...</tr>
<tr class="bg-warning">...</tr>
<tr class="bg-danger">...</tr>
<tr class="bg-info">...</tr>

<!-- On cells (`td` or `th`) -->
<tr>
  <td class="bg-primary">...</td>
  <td class="bg-success">...</td>
  <td class="bg-warning">...</td>
  <td class="bg-danger">...</td>
  <td class="bg-info">...</td>
</tr>

Conveying meaning to assistive technologies

Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies – such as screen readers. Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .sr-only class.

Anatomy

Table head

Similar to tables and dark tables, use the modifier classes .thead-light or .thead-dark to make <thead>s appear light or dark gray.

Captions

A <caption> functions like a heading for a table. It helps users with screen readers to find a table and understand what it's about and decide if they want to read it.

Responsive tables

Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive across all viewports by wrapping a .table with .table-responsive. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with which to have a responsive table up to by using .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}.

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.

Always responsive

Across every breakpoint, use .table-responsive for horizontally scrolling tables.

#	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading	Heading
1	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell
2	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell
3	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell	Cell

<div class="table-responsive">
  <table class="table">
    ...
  </table>
</div>

Breakpoint specific

Use .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl} as needed to create responsive tables up to a particular breakpoint. From that breakpoint and up, the table will behave normally and not scroll horizontally.

These tables may appear broken until their responsive styles apply at specific viewport widths.
