Answer 2

This is exactly what Bootstrap's Grid System is for, as Boostrap is designed to be mobile friendly. You can set up a document with code such as

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
  <div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
  <div class="col-md-4">.col-md-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
  <div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
  <div class="col-md-6">.col-md-6</div>
</div>

And it will automatically resize for smaller screen sizes.

Answer 3

it's not very nice, but you can try to make tr tags columns and td tag rows

tr{
    display: inline;
    float:left;
}

td{
   display: block;
}

Answer 4

The best way to do this would be with divs and using CSS' display: table, display: table-row and display: table-cell properties, along with some breakpoints. Otherwise, you're going to have a lot of ugly code. This isn't the semantically greatest solution, but as far as responsive goes, it does work.

Answer 5

Table have a problem with responsivity, because table datas are written by lines, so data in code looks thus: A, B, C, D, A, B, C, D... not A, A, A, A, B, B, B, B...

So you not get output with datas in the right order.

If you use media query, output looks thus:

@media all and (max-width:500px){
    table{
        width:100%;
    }

    td{
        display:block;
        width:100%;
    }

    tr{
        display:block;
        margin-bottom:30px;
    }
}

<table>
    <tbody>

        <tr>
            <td style="text-align: center; background-color: #e8e8e8;">&nbsp;<span style="color: #1e2a64;"><strong>Title</strong></span>

            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td style="text-align: center; background-color: #efedee;">
