How to make a Animated Table using HTML and CSS ?

Last Updated : 07 Aug, 2024

Table is an arrangement of data in rows and columns, or possibly in a more complex structure. Tables are widely used in communication, research, and data analysis.

In this article, we are going to create a Table with animation over its columns. We are going to implement it using HTML and CSS.

Approach: Step by step implementation:

Step 1: Create Structure of Table using HTML: We will create a table structure using a table tag in HTML.

HTML

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

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" 
        content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content=
        "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    <!-- Set title of web page -->
    <title>GFG Animated Table</title>
</head>

<body>

    <!-- Creating the structure of table -->
    <table>
        <tr>
            <!-- Creating heading of table -->
            <th>Employee Name</th>
            <th>Job Type</th>
            <th>Working Hour</th>
            <th>Salary</th>
        </tr>

        <tr>
            <!-- Add 1st data to table -->
            <td>Peter</td>
            <td>Intern</td>
            <td>8 Hour</td>
            <td>10000 Rs</td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
            <!-- Add 2nd data to table -->
            <td>Liza</td>
            <td>Employee</td>
            <td>10 Hour</td>
            <td>30000 Rs</td>
        </tr>

        <tr>
            <!-- Add 3rd data to table -->
            <td>John</td>
            <td>Employee</td>
            <td>10 Hour</td>
            <td>35000 Rs</td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</body>

</html>

Step 2: Decorating Table using CSS: Now, we will apply CSS over the table which we have created earlier.

CSS

/* Set the content of table using
css properties */
table {
    width: 700px;
    margin: auto;
    text-align: center;
    table-layout: fixed;
}

/* Applying css properties to 
table components */
table,
td,
tr {
    padding: 12px;
    color: wheat;
    background: indigo;
    border: 1px solid black;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    font-size: 20px;
    font-family: 'Lucida Sans', 
        'Lucida Sans Regular', 
        'Lucida Grande',
        'Lucida Sans Unicode', 
        Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;
}

/* Apply css properties to th */
th {
    color: white;
    border: 1px solid black;
    border-collapse: collapse;
    background: cadetblue;
}

/* Apply hover effect to td */
td:hover {
    background: orangered;
}
