Working with Tables

To use tables correctly, you first need to have an understanding of the different types of tables.

Data Tables

A data table is used to show a set of information. It is not used for layout purposes, it is simply to display data, whether that be text or numbers. Example:

Tuition* NY Resident Out of State
Tuition*Undergraduate NY Resident$270 per credit Out of State$988 per credit
Tuition*Graduate NY Resident$453 per credit Out of State$925 per credit
Tuition*MBA NY Resident$600 per credit Out of State$1016 per credit
Tuition*Social Work NY Resident$540 per credit Out of State$925 per credit
Tuition*Physicians Assistant NY Resident$584 per credit Out of State$1225 per credit
Tuition*Physical Therapy NY Resident$1016 per credit Out of State$1705 per credit
Tuition*Nursing Practice NY Resident$1016per credit Out of State$1787 per credit
 

Responsive data tables are compatible for mobile devices, so that users who access your site on devices with smaller screens can still view and understand your content.
