We’ve made a few small additional changes, such as setting a nice font, specifying font sizes, and making the top header row uppercase, to produce a great finish. Our table now looks much prettier! Here’s the final code. Note that Dash provides a different type of DataTable. the grid is represented as a vector of column vectors.

Most styling can be specified for header, columns, rows or individual cells. The data are arranged in a grid of rows and columns. We can use the CSS caption-side property to specify a top or bottom caption, and also apply other standard CSS properties such as text-align and padding to achieve a nice-looking caption: go.Table provides a Table object for detailed data viewing. pretty-table tr:hover tdīy default, the table caption tends to appear centred above the table, though this is very much browser-dependent. We’ll use white text and a maroon background as the hover colours, making sure to only add the effect to those rows that contain data (i.e. We can further improve readability of our table by making a table row change colour when the mouse hovers over it. To control cell spacing, use border-spacing.However, you can also control these two attributes within CSS: In HTML 4 and XHTML 1.0, you can control the spacing between each table cell using the cellspacing attribute, and the padding between each table cell and the content inside it using the cellpadding attribute. This allows us to identify any tables with the pretty-table class in our CSS, so that we can apply our styling. In order to style our table, we first give it a class, like this: After the header cell, four data cells ( td) contain the actual sales data. This time, we use scope="row" to indicate that the header cell refers to the data in the same row. Each row starts off with another header cell ( th), containing the widget name. Four data rows, containing the sales data for each widget.We also use the scope="col" attributes to indicate that these header cells refer to the columns of data below them. We use a th (table header cell) element for each label to indicate that this is header information, rather than actual data. A header row, providing labels for Product, 1st Quarter, 2nd Quarter, and so on.It’s also usually displayed by regular browsers, either above or below the table. This gives a short description of the table’s contents for non-visual browsers. A summary attribute, used to give a detailed description of the table’s structure for non-visual browsers, such as screen readers.Here’s the markup for our basic, unstyled table. Adding a mouse hover effect to table rows.Creating alternately-coloured table rows to aid legibility.Changing text and background colours, and using background images.Styling the borders of the table and the cells within the table.
