Tables

Okay, they're not the sexiest things ever, but tables get the job done (for tabular data, of course).

Basic

You can create a table using minimal markup.

HTML

<table> <thead> <tr> <th width="200">Table Header</th> <th>Table Header</th> <th width="150">Table Header</th> <th width="150">Table Header</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Content Goes Here</td> <td>This is longer content Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.</td> <td>Content Goes Here</td> <td>Content Goes Here</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Content Goes Here</td> <td>This is longer Content Goes Here Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.</td> <td>Content Goes Here</td> <td>Content Goes Here</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Content Goes Here</td> <td>This is longer Content Goes Here Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus.</td> <td>Content Goes Here</td> <td>Content Goes Here</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

Customize With Sass

Tables can be easily customized using our Sass variables.

$include-html-table-classes: $include-html-classes !default; // These control the background color for the table and even rows $table-bg: #fff; $table-even-row-bg: #f9f9f9; // These control the table cell border style $table-border-style: solid; $table-border-size: 1px; $table-border-color: #ddd; // These control the table head styles $table-head-bg: #f5f5f5; $table-head-font-size: rem-calc(14); $table-head-font-color: #222; $table-head-font-weight: bold; $table-head-padding: rem-calc(8 10 10); // These control the row padding and font styles $table-row-padding: rem-calc(9 10); $table-row-font-size: rem-calc(14); $table-row-font-color: #222; $table-line-height: rem-calc(18); // These are for controlling the display and margin of tables $table-display: table-cell; $table-margin-bottom: rem-calc(20);

Note: rem-calc(); is a function we wrote to convert px to rem. It is included in _functions.scss.


Sass Errors?

If the default "foundation" import was commented out, then make sure you import this file:
