    Creating a Responsible Table, i.e. Responsive

    Posted 10 years 2 weeks ago
    • Tables are not considered part of the class called responsive content so it's up to the user to either CSS a solution or use a 3rd party app to generate responsive tables.

      Here at Rockettheme our latest templates have a set of Table classes that can really snazz up your tables. However that still leaves us with the responsive issue.

      For this guide I have used a neat CSS solution devised by Chris Coyier - Responsive Data Tables .

      So here is the HTML content for a six column table with headers that would go in your article or module:
      <div id="tbl-resp">
          <table class="table table-striped table-bordered table-hover">
              <thead>
                  <tr>
                      <th>Module Name</th>
                      <th>Heading 2</th>
                      <th>Heading 3</th>
                      <th>Heading 4</th>
                      <th>Heading 5</th>
                      <th>Heading 6</th>
                  </tr>
              </thead>
              <tbody>
                  <tr>
                      <td>RokAjaxSearch</td>
                      <td>

      Basically ANY table that you want to be responsive, just wrap it in this <div>:
      <div id="tbl-resp">
          table code.....
      <div>

      Here is what a page looks like with a Responsive table at the top and a non-responsive table at the bottom:

      Here is the CSS that goes in your rt_templateName-custom.css <-{Click the LINK } :
      /* 
      Max width before this PARTICULAR table gets nasty
      This query will take effect for any screen smaller than 760px
      and also iPads specifically.
      */
      @media 
      only screen and (max-width: 760px),
      (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px)  {
       
        /* Force table to not be like tables anymore */
        div#tbl-resp table, div#tbl-resp thead, div#tbl-resp tbody, div#tbl-resp th, div#tbl-resp td, div#tbl-resp tr { 
          display: block; 
        }
        
        /* Hide table headers (but not display: none;, for accessibility) */
        div#tbl-resp thead tr { 
          position: absolute;
          top: -9999px;
          left: -9999px;
        }
        
        div#tbl-resp tr { border: 1px solid #ccc; }
        
        div#tbl-resp td { 
          /* Behave  like a "row" */
          border: none;
          border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; 
          position: relative;
          padding-left: 5%; 
        }
        
        div#tbl-resp td:before { 
          /* Now like a table header */
          position: absolute;
          /* Top/left values mimic padding */
          top: 6px;
          left: 6px;
          width: 45%; 
          padding-right: 10px; 
          white-space: nowrap;
        }
      }

      Pre BootStrap templates :

      If you have a pre-Bootstrap template (i.e. your RocketLauncher install doesn't show a Tables section on the TYPOGRAPHY page) then you can add this to make up for the missing BootStrap and Rockettheme table classes.

      In your
      rt_templateName-custom.css <-{Click the LINK }
      file add this:
      able {
        max-width: 100%;
        background-color: transparent;
        border-collapse: collapse;
        border-spacing: 0;
      }
      
      table {
        border-collapse: collapse;
      }
      table.table-bordered {
        border-collapse: separate;
        *border-collapse: collapse;
      }
      table.table-bordered th {
        background-color: #f2f2f2;
      }
      .table-striped tbody tr:nth-child(2n+1) td,

    • Nice!

      I haven't had a need to try yet... but RT's don't support the bootstrap ".table-responsive" class?

      I prefer the vertical stack layout versus scroll bars - I just don't like scroll bars :rolleyes:

    • Aw, I see now... MUCH sexier to stack the row than a scrollbar :)

    • Using this currently. It's fantastic.
      Question: I have a table that I want to specifically exclude from this behavior. How would I best go about this? I tried using the :not() selector but with no success. (Not quite sure I grasp how to use that selector properly).

      I've edited the Guide so you can now choose which tables should be Responsive or not.
