Basic table
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.
| # | First | Last | Handle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mark | Otto | @mdo |
| 2 | Jacob | Thornton | @fat |
| 3 | Larry | the Bird |
<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>

<thead> (or any other element) use our
color classes. If you are going to use a dark background you should also consider white text
(to provide a proper contrast) by adding the .text-white class.

Responsive table
Create responsive table 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.
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.
Note: For more advanced options of responsive tables have a look at Responsive Tables documentation .
