id="displaying_large_tables_in_small_spaces">Displaying large tables in small spaces</h3> +<div class="section-content"> +<p>A common issue with tables on the web is that they don't natively work very well on small screens when the amount of content is large, and the way to make them scrollable isn't obvious, especially when the markup may come from a CMS and cannot be modified to have a wrapper.</p> <p>This example provides one way to display tables in small spaces. We've hidden the HTML content as it is very large, and there is nothing remarkable about it. The CSS is more useful to inspect in this example.</p> <p>When looking at these styles you'll notice that table's <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/display"><code>display</code></a> property has been set to <code>block</code>. While this allows scrolling, the table loses some of its integrity, and table cells try to become as small as possible. To mitigate this issue we've set <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space"><code>white-space</code></a> to <code>nowrap</code> on the <code><tbody></code>. However, we don't do this for the <code><thead></code> to avoid long titles forcing columns to be wider than they need to be to display the data.</p> <p>To keep the table headers on the page while scrolling down we've set <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/position"><code>position</code></a> to sticky on the <code><th></code> elements. Note that we have <strong>not</strong> set <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/border-collapse"><code>border-collapse</code></a> to <code>collapse</code>, as if we do the header cannot be separated correctly from the rest of the table.</p> <div class="code-example"> +<p class="example-header"><span class="language-name">css</span></p> +<pre

This is typically indicated by the presence of the <a href="td#colspan"><code>colspan</code></a> and <a href="td#rowspan"><code>rowspan</code></a> attributes.</p> <p>Ideally, consider alternate ways to present the table's content, including breaking it apart into a collection of smaller, related tables that don't have to rely on using the <code>colspan</code> and <code>rowspan</code> attributes. In addition to helping people who use assistive technology understand the table's content, this may also benefit people with cognitive concerns who may have difficulty understanding the associations the table layout is describing.</p> <p>If the table cannot be broken apart, use a combination of the <a href="../global_attributes#id"><code>id</code></a> and <a href="td#headers"><code>headers</code></a> attributes to programmatically associate each table cell with the header(s) the cell is associated with.</p> <ul> <li><a
