Table responsiveness means that the table will expand and contract as needed depending on the size of the browser window (large screen, tablet, smart phone, etc.). The action of the table will adjust to the content contained within individual table cells, which is preferred - do not set specific widths on the table or columns!

If the browser window is too small to display all of the table data then a horizontal scroll bar will appear, as demonstrated in the image to the left.

 

 

 

 

 


 

Below is a demonstration of responsiveness using the Table (Zebra) template available via the Templates button in the WYSIWYG editor. Note how the table changes as the browser window is reduced:
