Styling Zebra Tables
CSS
What is a Zebra Table?
A zebra table is a table that has been styled to present its rows in automatically alternating colours, making the rows more readable.
How to style a Zebra Table
- Drag a Text component on to the page where you want the table to appear.
- Double-click the Text component and click on the Table button in the Rich Text Editor.
- Specify the number of rows and columns. Select the number and type of header rows you want to include. (Note that header rows have a white background to differentiate them from regular table rows; therefore, the zebra style will not apply to headers.)
- Specify the width of your table. Leave the height field blank.
- Locate the Border, Cellspacing and Cellpadding fields. Remove existing values and leave it empty. Click OK.
- In the CSS class field enter
alternate
to apply the zebra-striping style. - Enter the data in your table. Press tab to jump to the next table cell.
- When the table has been filled out, click OK.
Example of a styled Zebra Table:
First row item 1 | First row item 2 |
Second row item 1 | Second row item 2 |
Third row item 1 | Third row item 2 |
Fourth row item 1 | Fourth row item 2 |
Fifth row item 1 | Fifth row item 2 |
The HTML code used to create the table above:
<table width="500px">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>First row item 1</td>
<td>First row item 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Second row item 1</td>
<td>Second row item 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Third row item 1</td>
<td>Third row item 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Fourth row item 1</td>
<td>Fourth row item 2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Fifth row item 1</td>
<td>Fifth row item 2</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
