Table

A %div container with the CSS class .table-responsive makes the table responsive. The width of columns can be adjusted by using the Bootstrap’s sizing classes on the %th tags (Bootstrap’s grid system doesn’t work for tables in Chrome). When defining the width of a column, it’s important to define the width of the other columns too as they will otherwise be squeezed to a ~%1 width. Additionally, we are using DataTable’s responsive and style them with striped rows (.table-striped) and borders (.table-bordered). However, you can use tables with and without datatables.
