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>
, then extend with custom styles or our various included modifier classes.

- Table head options
- Striped rows
- Bordered table
- Hoverable rows
- Small table

Examples
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.
<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>
You can also invert the colors—with light text on dark backgrounds—with .table-inverse
.
<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>
Table head options
Similar to default and inverse tables, use one of two modifier classes to make <thead>
s appear light or dark gray.
<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>
Striped rows
Use .table-striped
to add zebra-striping to any table row within the <tbody>
.
<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>
<table class="table table-striped 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>
Bordered table
Add .table-bordered
for borders on all sides of the table and cells.
<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>
<table class="table table-bordered 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>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>
Hoverable rows
Add .table-hover
to enable a hover state on table rows within a <tbody>
.
<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>
<table class="table table-hover 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 colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td> <td>@twitter</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Small table
Add .table-sm
to make tables more compact by cutting cell padding in half.
<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>
<table class="table table-sm 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 colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td> <td>@twitter</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
Contextual classes
Use contextual classes to color table rows or individual cells.
Class Description
.table-active
Applies the hover color to a particular row or cell .table-success
Indicates a successful or positive action .table-info
Indicates a neutral informative change or action .table-warning
Indicates a warning that might need attention .table-danger
Indicates a dangerous or potentially negative action
<!-- On rows --> <tr class="table-active">...</tr> <tr class="table-success">...</tr> <tr class="table-warning">...</tr> <tr class="table-danger">...</tr> <tr class="table-info">...</tr> <!-- On cells (`td` or `th`) --> <tr> <td class="table-active">...</td> <td class="table-success">...</td> <td class="table-warning">...</td> <td class="table-danger">...</td> <td class="table-info">...</td> </tr>
Regular table background variants are not available with the inverse table, however, you may use text or background utilities to achieve similar styles.
<!-- On rows --> <tr class="bg-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.
Responsive tables
Create responsive tables by adding .table-responsive
to any .table
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.
