How this works

On desktop the table renders normally with a sticky-gradient header row and position: sticky affordances. Each <td> carries a data-label attribute that mirrors its column heading. The CSS reset on .ct-01 table, .ct-01 thead, .ct-01 tbody, .ct-01 th, .ct-01 td, .ct-01 tr switches every element to display: block at the 640 px breakpoint, making thead visually hidden with display: none while the data cells stack vertically.

The label injection is achieved via td::before { content: attr(data-label) }, which reads the custom attribute directly from the DOM without touching JavaScript. Row hover applies a subtle translateX(3px) shift to reinforce the card metaphor on desktop. Status badges use a pulsing @keyframes ct-01-pulse on a tiny dot to give live-status feedback, and the entire animation stack is paused under @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce).

Make it yours

  • Change the breakpoint from 640px to 768px inside the @media block to trigger the card layout on tablets as well.
  • Swap the avatar gradient by updating background: linear-gradient(135deg, var(--accent), var(--accent2)) on .ct-01__ava — any two HSL values work.
  • Add a new status variant by cloning .ct-01__badge--active, renaming it, and picking a new rgba background plus matching text color for the new state.
  • Widen the label column on mobile by increasing min-width: 80px on the td::before rule; reduce it for narrower phone sizes.
  • Suppress the hover slide-over on desktop by removing transform: translateX(3px) from .ct-01 tbody tr:hover for a purely color-based hover signal.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • display: block on table elements breaks colspan and rowspan — cells that span multiple columns will not render correctly in card mode; use single-column cells only for data that needs to collapse.
  • The data-label attribute must be manually kept in sync with <th> text; a mismatch causes confusing labels on mobile and is a common maintenance oversight.
  • Safari below 15.4 does not support :has() — if you extend this demo with :has()-based selection, add a JavaScript fallback class toggle for older WebKit.

Browser support

The responsive collapse technique uses only display: block and attr(), giving near-universal support. The pulsing dot uses CSS animation (Chrome 43+, Safari 9+, Firefox 16+).
