[Resolved] Sizing charts.. (not "table")

[Clare]

Hi Tom,

Maybe I’m being a bit dumb, but can you point me in the direction of making a sizing chart similar to this one:

I’m not using woo commerce or anything, I just want to put a size chart into my review of various clothing just for completeness sake.
Thank you very much!

That site is using HTML tables for the chart.

You can check Google HTML table generator and you should find some resources for creating a table like that.

Alternatively, this plugin might help: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/magic-liquidizer-responsive-table/

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

Thank you Tom 🙂
I tried taking the html code from the “view source” from that website, and made my own “tables” for the sizes… the only thing that worries me is that I’ve seen you mention elsewhere that tables is really for actual tabulated data; where this is just a “sizing image”: so to speak. Is there any downside to using a table in this way?
Thank you so much
Clare

I would consider this tabular data, so I don’t see any downsides other than HTML tables not being great on mobile.
