Bootstrap - Tables
Bootstrap provides a clean layout for building tables. Some of the table elements supported by Bootstrap are −
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| <table> | Wrapping element for displaying data in a tabular format |
| <thead> | Container element for table header rows (<tr>) to label table columns. |
| <tbody> | Container element for table rows (<tr>) in the body of the table. |
| <tr> | Container element for a set of table cells (<td> or <th>) that appears on a single row. |
| <td> | Default table cell. |
| <th> | Special table cell for column (or row, depending on scope and placement) labels. Must be used within a <thead> |
| <caption> | Description or summary of what the table holds. |
Basic Table
If you want a nice, basic table style with just some light padding and horizontal dividers, add the base class of .table to any table as shown in the following example −<table class = "table">

<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>City</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tanmay</td>
<td>Bangalore</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sachin</td>
<td>Mumbai</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Optional Table Classes
Along with the base table markup and the .table class, there are a few additional classes that you can use to style the markup. Following sections will give you a glimpse of all these classes.Striped Table
By adding the .table-striped class, you will get stripes on rows within the <tbody> as seen in the following example −<table class = "table table-striped">

<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Pincode</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tanmay</td>
<td>Bangalore</td>
<td>560001</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sachin</td>
<td>Mumbai</td>
<td>400003</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Uma</td>
<td>Pune</td>
<td>411027</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Bordered Table
By adding the .table-bordered class, you will get borders surrounding every element and rounded corners around the entire table as seen in the following example −<table class = "table table-bordered">
<caption>Bordered Table Layout</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Pincode</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tanmay</td>
<td>Bangalore</td>
<td>560001</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sachin</td>
<td>Mumbai</td>
<td>400003</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Uma</td>
<td>Pune</td>
<td>411027</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Hover Table
By adding the .table-hover class, a light gray background will be added to rows while the cursor hovers over them, as seen in the following example −<table class = "table table-hover">
<caption>Hover Table Layout</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Pincode</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tanmay</td>
<td>Bangalore</td>
<td>560001</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sachin</td>
<td>Mumbai</td>
<td>400003</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Uma</td>
<td>Pune</td>
<td>411027</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Condensed Table
By adding the .table-condensed class, row padding is cut in half to condense the table. as seen in the following example. This is useful if you want any denser information.<table class = "table table-condensed">
<caption>Condensed Table Layout</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Pincode</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tanmay</td>
<td>Bangalore</td>
<td>560001</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Sachin</td>
<td>Mumbai</td>
<td>400003</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Uma</td>
<td>Pune</td>
<td>411027</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

<tbody>
<tr class = "active">
<td>Product1</td>
<td>23/11/2013</td>
<td>Pending</td>

<tr class = "success">
<td>Product2</td>
<td>10/11/2013</td>
<td>Delivered</td>
</tr>
<tr class = "warning">

<tr class = "danger">

</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Responsive Tables
By wrapping any .table in .table-responsive class, you will make the table scroll horizontally up to small devices (under 768px). When viewing on anything larger than 768px wide, you will not see any difference in these tables.<div class = "table-responsive">
<table class = "table">
