Make a HTML Table Responsive with a simple script.

Using Jquery you can tell any table on a webpage to show a table in a easy to read responsive format using Jquery and a simple CSS Media call.

Step 1.  Make sure you call Jquery

Example:  <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>

Step 2.  Make sure all table headers are called as TH not TD.

Step 3.  Insert the Following Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
$(function() {

$('table').each(function() {

var head_col_count = $(this).find('th').size();
for ( i=0; i <= head_col_count; i++ ) {

var head_col_label = $(this).find('th:nth-child('+ i +')').text();
$(this).find('tr td:nth-child('+ i +')').attr('data-th',head_col_label );

}

})

});
</script>

Step 4.  Add Media CSS:

<style>
table {
width:100%;
border-collapse:collapse;
}

@media only screen and (max-width:550px) {

table, thead, tbody, th, td, tr {display: block;}
th {display:none;}
tr:first-child {
border-top:none;
margin-bottom:0;
}
tr {
border-top:1px solid #ccc;
border-right:1px solid #ccc;
border-left:1px solid #ccc;
margin-bottom:5px;
}
td {
border: none;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
position: relative !important;
padding-left: 50% !important;
white-space: normal;
text-align:right !important;
}
td:before {
padding-right: 10px;
white-space: nowrap;
text-align:left;
font-weight: bold;
}
td:before {
content: attr(data-th)":";
position:absolute;
left:5px;
}

}
</style>

This script will work even if there is multiple tables on the same page.  I also added a JFiddle Page so you can test it yourself:

iOS 7 iMessage problems, unstable but fixable

iOS 7 is not sitting too well with many Apple consumers; we have seen so many complaints coming in about the new operating system. Some are saying it’s the worst to date, there are problems with those that wish to downgrade but cannot, and now there are iMessage problems.

We have taken a look over on Apple’s Support Communities website and iPhone owners are complaining about the new iOS 7, they report that since upgrading to iOS 7 they have had problems with iMessage. The problem seems to lie more with the iPhone 4 and 4S, not really seeing the iPhone 5S or 5C popping up a great deal.

The apparent iMessage problem stops messages from being sent with a few not being able to receive iMessages, If an iMessage cannot be sent it is common knowledge that they can be converted to SMS text but these are apparently not working either.

Since the release of iOS 7, iPhone owners are continuing to have issues. The iMessage problem seems to date back to September 18th when the new OS was released, but it has got a lot worse since the iOS 7.0.2 update went live.

There is a simple iMessage fix: Disable iMessage in Settings -> Messages, reset the iPhone’s Network Settings under Settings -> General -> Reset, then re-enable iMessage.
