Elevate your tables with CSS Table Style! A comprehensive guide with examples for creative and visually appealing table designs, optimizing data presentation effortlessly.
To control the space between the border and the content in a table, use the padding
property on <td> and <th> elements:
First Name | Last Name | Savings |
---|---|---|
Peter | Griffin | $100 |
Lois | Griffin | $150 |
Joe | Swanson | $300 |
th, td {
padding: 15px;
text-align: left;
}
First Name | Last Name | Savings |
---|---|---|
Peter | Griffin | $100 |
Lois | Griffin | $150 |
Joe | Swanson | $300 |
Add the border-bottom
property to <th> and <td> for horizontal dividers:
th, td {
border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}
Use the :hover
selector on <tr> to highlight table rows on mouse over:
First Name | Last Name | Savings |
---|---|---|
Peter | Griffin | $100 |
Lois | Griffin | $150 |
Joe | Swanson | $300 |
tr:hover {background-color: coral;}
First Name | Last Name | Savings |
---|---|---|
Peter | Griffin | $100 |
Lois | Griffin | $150 |
Joe | Swanson | $300 |
For zebra-striped tables, use the nth-child()
selector and add a background-color
to all even (or odd) table rows:
tr:nth-child(even) {background-color: #f2f2f2;}
The example below specifies the background color and text color of <th> elements:
First Name | Last Name | Savings |
---|---|---|
Peter | Griffin | $100 |
Lois | Griffin | $150 |
Joe | Swanson | $300 |
th {
background-color: #04AA6D;
color: white;
}
