Create responsive table

There are several ways to make a table responsive. Here I am showing some of the ways that can be achieved.

1. Using bootstrap
Bootstrap comes with built-in class .table-responsive that makes the table scroll horizontally on small devices.

e.g.
<table class="table-responsive " >

</table>

2. Using media query
You can use media query to behave table look and feel differently on mobile devices. The following code sample took from a article posted in css-tricks.com

<style>
 
 @media
 only screen and (max-width: 760px),
 (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px)  {

  /* Force table to not be like tables anymore */
  table, thead, tbody, th, td, tr {
   display: block;
  }

  /* Hide table headers (but not display: none;, for accessibility) */
  thead tr {
   position: absolute;
   top: -9999px;
   left: -9999px;
  }

  tr { border: 1px solid #ccc; }

  td {
   /* Behave  like a "row" */
   border: none;
   border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
   position: relative;
   padding-left: 50%;
  }

  td:before {
   /* Now like a table header */
   position: absolute;
   /* Top/left values mimic padding */
   top: 6px;
   left: 6px;
   width: 45%;
   padding-right: 10px;
   white-space: nowrap;
  }

  /*
  Label the data
  */
  td:nth-of-type(1):before { content: "First Name"; }
  td:nth-of-type(2):before { content: "Last Name"; }
  td:nth-of-type(3):before { content: "Job Title"; }
  td:nth-of-type(4):before { content: "Favorite Color"; }
  td:nth-of-type(5):before { content: "Wars of Trek?"; }
  td:nth-of-type(6):before { content: "Porn Name"; }
  td:nth-of-type(7):before { content: "Date of Birth"; }
  td:nth-of-type(8):before { content: "Dream Vacation City"; }
  td:nth-of-type(9):before { content: "GPA"; }
  td:nth-of-type(10):before { content: "Arbitrary Data"; }
 }

 /* Smartphones (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
 @media only screen
 and (min-device-width : 320px)
 and (max-device-width : 480px) {
  body {
   padding: 0;
   margin: 0;
   width: 320px; }
  }

 /* iPads (portrait and landscape) ----------- */
 @media only screen and (min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) {
  body {
   width: 495px;
  }
 }

 </style>

I personally like the second option as it will make more smoother look in mobile devices.
