The admin of the site can use tables within Froala editors to add content and style to static web pages on the site.


Sometimes, a table can look good on desktop view but when you see it on mobile devices it doesn't. That's why here we are going to explain the behaviors of tables on mobile devices.

NOTE: Make sure the content has the same lines of text on the left and right sides to avoid extra white spacing on mobile.  

Also, make sure to select the Vertical Align >> Top:
