Dynamic CSS Tables Look Pretty Good, But Don't Overdo Them

On codepen.io, professional and freelance web designers upload customized exhibits that demonstrate creative methods of achieving complex and sophisticated visual effects and interactive features through little more than basic web scripting. Because of how the functionality of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript have expanded in recent years, the three scripts can be put to use to create effects as complex as fully three-dimensional models that would not seem out of place in a video game. This increase in power and functionality also makes it all the easier for amateur designers to create more appealing takes on the basic page elements that the scripts were primarily used for to begin with, such as web tables created through CSS.

Several ideas for Css Tables made with modern sensibilities and hosted on CodePen are compiled in a blog post on sliderrevolution.com. To an extent, having a striking aesthetic theme that invites the reader to read the contents of a table while minimizing the opportunity for that table's layout to confuse the reader is important for maintaining both audience retention and a solid reputation. In years past, web table designs could get away with having every cell surrounded on all four sides by solid lines, which are present by default when creating tables in HTML that are not stylized by CSS properly.

Now, however, it is considered requisite and appropriate web design to minimize the cluttering feeling imparted by the vertical divisions between columns because it is enough that a given column's similar data entries collectively lie underneath a named header. Though horizontal divisions are much more important for making rows of data visually distinguishable at a glance, solid lines are often considered a visually obtrusive means of achieving this nonetheless. It is often enough to have every other row displayed with a darker shade of the background than every row in between. In fact, this design for CSS tables naturally lends itself to "responsive" CSS table functionality that entirely rearranges a given table's data and alignment if the device displaying the page is, for example, a mobile device with a tall but narrow screen.
