Examples

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.

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-dark.

{% 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 tables and dark tables, use the modifier classes .thead-light or .thead-dark 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.

  {% for color in site.data.theme-colors %}
  <tr class="table-{{ color.name }}">
    <th scope="row">{{ color.name | capitalize }}</th>
    <td>Column content</td>
    <td>Column content</td>
    <td>Column content</td>
  </tr>{% endfor %}
</tbody>

Type	Column heading	Column heading	Column heading
Active	Column content	Column content	Column content
Default	Column content	Column content	Column content

{% highlight html %}

... {% for color in site.data.theme-colors %} ...{% endfor %} ... {% for color in site.data.theme-colors %} ...{% endfor %} {% endhighlight %}

Regular table background variants are not available with the dark table, however, you may use [text or background utilities]({{ site.baseurl }}/docs/{{ site.docs_version }}/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

{% highlight html %}

Responsive tables

Create responsive tables by adding .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl} to any .table to make them scroll horizontally at each max-width breakpoint 575px, 767px, 991px, and 1199px, respectively.

For responsive tables that always scroll horizontally when the table is wider than its container, add the .table-responsive class on .table.

{% 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 %}

#	Table heading	Table heading	Table heading	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	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell
2	Table cell	Table cell	Table cell	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 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 %}

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.

{% example html %}

List of users

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