I was looking at methods of reformating one particularly wide table in a Wiki.
I came across this idea Responsive Data Tables With a few adjustments I was able to get this to work within TW.
This sample table:
appears on narrow screens as:
The CSS is:
/*
Max width before this PARTICULAR table gets nasty
This query will take effect for any screen smaller than 760px
and also iPads specifically.
*/
@media
only screen and (max-width: 760px),
(min-device-width: 768px) and (max-device-width: 1024px) {
.narrowTab {
/* Force table to not be like tables anymore */
table, thead, tbody, th, td, tr {
display: block;
width: 100% !important;
}
/* Hide table headers (but not display: none;, for accessibility) */
thead tr {
position: absolute;
top: -9999px;
left: -9999px;
}
tr { border: 1px solid #ccc; }
tr:nth-child(odd) {
background: #ccc;
}
td {
/* Behave like a "row" */
border: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
position: relative;
padding-left: 50% !important;
}
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;
font-weight: bold;
}
/*
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: "Secret Alias"; }
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"; }
}
}
Here is the WikiText for the Table:
