Changing the rows of a table Bootstrap 3 does not use the .table- prefix for its contextual classes. As good example, Bootstrap 3 uses .active while Bootstrap 4 uses .table-active. Other than that, both of these versions use the same 5 contextual key words (active, success, info, warning, danger). Below you can view the explanation of each one practical option:
● active: Uses the focus color option to the table row or table cell ● success: Signifies a successful or positive action ● info: Indicates a neutral information change or action ● warning: Signifies a caution that you might need attention ● danger: Signifies a dangerous or potentially negative action
Responsive Tables
To create a responsive table - use the .table-responsive class. Table rolls in the horizontal position on gadgets that under 768px. If the gadget is larger than 768px wide, then you will see no big difference :
Bootstrap 4 allows you to add the .table-responsive class to the actual
element. Bootstrap 3 tables required that you add that class to a parent
element.
