Übersicht
Due to the widespread use of <table>
elements across third-party widgets like calendars and date pickers, Bootstrap’s tables are opt-in. Add the base class .table
to any <table>
, then extend with our optional modifier classes or custom styles. All table styles are not inherited in Bootstrap, meaning any nested tables can be styled independent from the parent.
Using the most basic table markup, here’s how .table
-based tables look in Bootstrap.

Variants
Use contextual classes to color tables, table rows or individual cells.
Heads up! Because of the more complicated CSS used to generate our table variants, they most likely won’t see color mode adaptive styling until v6.

Accessibility tip: Using color to add meaning only provides a visual indication, which will not be conveyed to users of assistive technologies like screen readers. Please ensure the meaning is obvious from the content itself (e.g., the visible text with a
sufficient color contrast) or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the
.visually-hidden
class.

How do the variants and accented tables work?
For the accented tables (striped rows, striped columns, hoverable rows, and active tables), we used some techniques to make these effects work for all our table variants:
- We start by setting the background of a table cell with the
--bs-table-bg
custom property. All table variants then set that custom property to colorize the table cells. This way, we don’t get into trouble if semi-transparent colors are used as table backgrounds.
- Then we add an inset box shadow on the table cells with
box-shadow: inset 0 0 0 9999px var(--bs-table-bg-state, var(--bs-table-bg-type, var(--bs-table-accent-bg)));
to layer on top of any specified background-color
. It uses custom cascade to override the box-shadow
, regardless the CSS specificity. Because we use a huge spread and no blur, the color will be monotone. Since --bs-table-accent-bg
is set to transparent
by default, we don’t have a default box shadow.
- When either
.table-striped
, .table-striped-columns
, .table-hover
oder .table-active
classes are added, either --bs-table-bg-type
oder --bs-table-bg-state
(by default set to initial
) are set to a semitransparent color (--bs-table-striped-bg
, --bs-table-active-bg
oder --bs-table-hover-bg
) to colorize the background and override default --bs-table-accent-bg
.
- For each table variant, we generate a
--bs-table-accent-bg
color with the highest contrast depending on that color. For example, the accent color for .table-primary
is darker while .table-dark
has a lighter accent color.
- Text and border colors are generated the same way, and their colors are inherited by default.
Behind the scenes it looks like this:
@mixin table-variant($state, $background) {
.table-#{$state} {
$color: color-contrast(opaque($body-bg, $background));
$hover-bg: mix($color, $background, percentage($table-hover-bg-factor));
$striped-bg: mix($color, $background, percentage($table-striped-bg-factor));
$active-bg: mix($color, $background, percentage($table-active-bg-factor));
$table-border-color: mix($color, $background, percentage($table-border-factor));
--#{$prefix}table-color: #{$color};
--#{$prefix}table-bg: #{$background};
--#{$prefix}table-border-color: #{$table-border-color};
--#{$prefix}table-striped-bg: #{$striped-bg};
--#{$prefix}table-striped-color: #{color-contrast($striped-bg)};
--#{$prefix}table-active-bg: #{$active-bg};
--#{$prefix}table-active-color: #{color-contrast($active-bg)};
--#{$prefix}table-hover-bg: #{$hover-bg};
--#{$prefix}table-hover-color: #{color-contrast($hover-bg)};
color: var(--#{$prefix}table-color);
border-color: var(--#{$prefix}table-border-color);
}
}

Table group dividers
Add a thicker border, darker between table groups—<thead>
, <tbody>
, and <tfoot>
—with .table-group-divider
. Customize the color by changing the border-top-color
(which we don’t currently provide a utility class for at this time).

Vertical alignment
Table cells of <thead>
are always vertical aligned to the bottom. Table cells in <tbody>
inherit their alignment from <table>
and are aligned to the top by default. Use the vertical align classes to re-align where needed.

Nesting
Border styles, active styles, and table variants are not inherited by nested tables.

How nesting works
To prevent any styles from leaking to nested tables, we use the child combinator (>
) selector in our CSS. Since we need to target all the td
s and th
s in the thead
, tbody
, and tfoot
, our selector would look pretty long without it. As such, we use the rather odd looking .table > :not(caption) > * > *
selector to target all td
s and th
s of the .table
, but none of any potential nested tables.
Note that if you add <tr>
s as direct children of a table, those <tr>
will be wrapped in a <tbody>
by default, thus making our selectors work as intended.
Anatomy
Table head
Similar to tables and dark tables, use the modifier classes .table-light
oder .table-dark
to make <thead>
s appear light or dark gray.

functions like a heading for a table. It helps users with screen readers to find a table and understand what it’s about and decide if they want to read it.

Responsive tables
Responsive tables allow tables to be scrolled horizontally with ease. Make any table responsive across all viewports by wrapping a .table
with .table-responsive
. Or, pick a maximum breakpoint with which to have a responsive table up to by using .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl|-xxl}
.
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.
Always responsive
Across every breakpoint, use .table-responsive
for horizontally scrolling tables.

Breakpoint specific
Use .table-responsive{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl|-xxl}
as needed to create responsive tables up to a particular breakpoint. From that breakpoint and up, the table will behave normally and not scroll horizontally.
These tables may appear broken until their responsive styles apply at specific viewport widths.

Customizing
- The factor variables (
$table-striped-bg-factor
, $table-active-bg-factor
& $table-hover-bg-factor
) are used to determine the contrast in table variants.
- Apart from the light & dark table variants, theme colors are lightened by the
$table-bg-scale
variable.
