how to give color to table header in bootstrap?

Hi Friends 👋,

Welcome To aGuideHub! ❤️

In this tutorial, we will learn how to give color to table header in bootstrap.

To give color to the table header, put .thead-danger class to change the color of the table header.

To change a background-color of <thead> (or any other element) use our color classes. If you are going to use a danger background you should also consider white text (to provide a proper contrast) by adding the .text-white class.

Table of contents

  • Includes bootstrap view
  • Includes bootstrap library
  • Includes css in html page
  • Define its class name

Step 1: Includes bootstrap view

To ensure proper rendering and touch zooming for all devices, add the responsive viewport meta tag to your <head>.

 <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">

Step 2: Includes bootstrap library

First of all, load the Bootstrap framework CSS into the head tag of your webpage.

<!-- Bootstrap CSS -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css"
        integrity="sha384-Gn5384xqQ1aoWXA+058RXPxPg6fy4IWvTNh0E263XmFcJlSAwiGgFAW/dAiS6JXm" crossorigin="anonymous">

Step 3: Includes css in html page

Here we are using in css background-color: #af1919 !important; class to create change color of header.

        .table .thead-danger th {
            background-color: #af1919 !important;
        }

        tbody {
            background: lightgrey;
        }

        .container {
            padding: 0 !important;
        }

Step 4: Define its class name

Here we will use the bootstrap class to change the color header of an in the table.

    <div class="container">
        <table class="table">
            <thead class="thead-danger text-white">
                <tr>
                    <th scope="col"></th>
                    <th scope="col">First</th>
                    <th scope="col">Last</th>
                    <th scope="col">Address</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row"></th>
                    <td>Mohan</td>
                    <td>Tiwari</td>
                    <td>Rampur</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row"></th>
                    <td>Radha</td>
                    <td>Mishra</td>
                    <td>Miraroad</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row"></th>
                    <td>Sonam</td>
                    <td>Rajput</td>
                    <td>Rajsthan</td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>

Example.

Let’s look at the following example to understand how it basically works:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <!-- Required meta tags -->
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css"
        integrity="sha384-Gn5384xqQ1aoWXA+058RXPxPg6fy4IWvTNh0E263XmFcJlSAwiGgFAW/dAiS6JXm" crossorigin="anonymous">
    <style>
        .table .thead-danger th {
            background-color: #af1919 !important;
        }

        tbody {
            background: lightgrey;
        }

        .container {
            padding: 0 !important;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <div class="container">
        <table class="table">
            <thead class="thead-danger text-white">
                <tr>
                    <th scope="col"></th>
                    <th scope="col">First</th>
                    <th scope="col">Last</th>
                    <th scope="col">Address</th>
                </tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row"></th>
                    <td>Mohan</td>
                    <td>Tiwari</td>
                    <td>Rampur</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row"></th>
                    <td>Radha</td>
                    <td>Mishra</td>
                    <td>Miraroad</td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                    <th scope="row"></th>
                    <td>Sonam</td>
                    <td>Rajput</td>
                    <td>Rajsthan</td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>
</body>

</html>
