<thead>
<tr class="govcy-br-input">
<th>Property</th>
<th>Value</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<td>Jane Smith</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Child's date of birth</th>
<td>5 Jan 2021</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Address</th>
<td>Thornton</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Social insurance number</th>
<td>7361063</td>

</tbody>
</table>Table headers
Use table headers to tell users what the rows and columns represent. Use the scope attribute to help users of assistive technology distinguish between row and column headers.
Example
| # | First | Last | Handle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mark | Otto | @mdo |
| 2 | Jacob | Thornton | @fat |
| 3 | Larry the Bird | ||
Sample HTML Code
<table class="govcy-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col">#</th>
<th scope="col">First</th>
<th scope="col">Last</th>
<th scope="col">Handle</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="row">1</th>
<td>Mark</td>
<td>Otto</td>
<td>@mdo</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">2</th>
<td>Jacob</td>
<td>Thornton</td>
<td>@fat</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th scope="row">3</th>
<td colspan="2">Larry the Bird</td>
<td>@twitter</td>
</tr>
</tbody>

</table>Responsive tables
Responsive tables allow tables to adjusting designs to accommodate screens of different sizes. Always use responsive tables, unless there is a specific reason not to.
There are two ways you can achive this.
Vertical responsive tables
Vertical responsive tables place each cell of a row in a single column. This is the prefered method for responsive tables.
Make any table vertically responsive by adding a .govcy-table-responsive-vertical class in a table.

Change |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Details |
Email address abc@windowslive.com Mobile Number 99123456 |

| Claim Children |
George of no one |
Sample HTML Code
<table class="govcy-table govcy-table-responsive-vertical govcy-mb-4">
