Make more rows headers

I made a little mistake with adding twice row1 (header) in the “how i want it scenario”. But the principle stands.

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

I see what you mean, but from a semantic point of view (which is also important for search engines), this doesn’t really make sense. If these are different sets of data, they should be different tables.
This is also why the HTML standard doesn’t offer such multiple header rows in the table body. You would therefore need to simply change the background color of the “fake” body rows, e.g. with https://tablepress.org/faq/change-background-color-of-a-row/

Hey,

Thanks, that worked!

One last question, is it possible to add a margin above and below the text in certain rows ?

Hi,

good to hear that! For that margin, I suggest to increase the padding of that row, with something like

.tablepress-id-123 .row-4 td {
  padding-top: 20px;
  padding-bottom: 20px;
}

Hi there,
would it be possible to have the first 2 rows as headers instead of just the first? I’m trying to float both the first and second row. If not, is it possible to change which row the header is?

Thanks!

Hi @spenceweb,

no, sorry, both of this is not possible.

TablePress and most of the JS libraries don’t support multiple rows in the header. This might change in the future, but I’m not sure yet whether I can implement this.

Changing which row is the header is not possible as by the standard the header is defined by the top row(s).

Sorry for not having better news here.

Tobias
