title: Tables
---

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>`.

## Contents

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

## Basic example

{% example html %}
<table class="table">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</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>
{% endexample %}

## Inverse table

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-inverse">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</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>
{% endexample %}

## Table head options

Use one of two modifier classes to make `<thead>`s appear light or dark gray.

{% example html %}
<table class="table">
  <thead class="thead-inverse">
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</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>

<table class="table">
  <thead class="thead-default">
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</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>
{% endexample %}

## Striped rows

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

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-striped">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</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>
{% endexample %}

## Bordered table

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

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-bordered">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</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>Mark</td>
      <td>Otto</td>
      <td>@TwBootstrap</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">3</th>
      <td>Jacob</td>
      <td>Thornton</td>
      <td>@fat</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">4</th>
      <td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Hoverable rows

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

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-hover">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</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 colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Small table

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

{% example html %}
<table class="table table-sm">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th>#</th>
      <th>First Name</th>
      <th>Last Name</th>
      <th>Username</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 colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
      <td>@twitter</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
{% endexample %}

## Contextual classes

Use contextual classes to color table rows or individual cells.

<div class="table-responsive">
  <table class="table table-bordered table-striped">
    <colgroup>
      <col class="col-xs-1">
      <col class="col-xs-7">
    </colgroup>
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Class</th>
        <th>Description</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">
          <code>.table-active</code>
        </th>
        <td>Applies the hover color to a particular row or cell</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">
          <code>.table-success</code>
        </th>
        <td>Indicates a successful or positive action</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">
          <code>.table-info</code>
        </th>
        <td>Indicates a neutral informative change or action</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">
          <code>.table-warning</code>
        </th>
        <td>Indicates a warning that might need attention</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <th scope="row">
          <code>.table-danger</code>
        </th>
        <td>Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<div class="bd-example">
  <table class="table">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>#</th>
        <th>Column heading</th>
        <th>Column heading</th>
        <th>Column heading</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      <tr class="table-active">
        <th scope="row">1</th>
        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>

        <td>Column content</td>
        <td>Column content</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>

<tr class="table-active">...</tr>
<tr class="table-success">...</tr>

## 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 overriden without a Firefox-specific hack that we **don't** provide in Bootstrap:

{% highlight css %}
@-moz-document url-prefix() {
  fieldset { display: table-cell; }
}
{% endhighlight %}
