 * Hi,
 * is there a way to use the table like a dropdown menu?
 * It would be great if users could click on the tablehead and then the whole table
   content will appear.
 * I want to make a site with many different and long tables, so it would be great
   if I can only show the tableheads and users can pop up only the tables they are
   interested in.
 * Regards
 * Naddy

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.
 * TablePress does not offer such a feature natively, I’m afraid, as this is out
   of the scope of tables. You should instead look for a plugin that can add so-
   called accordion blocks to your pages. You can then insert the table Shortcode
   into these.
    Alternatively, as this only requires a tiny bit of CSS and JS code,
   you could implement the approach manually, e.g. following this idea: [https://tobias.baethge.com/2009/07/expandhide-accordion-feature-explained/](https://tobias.baethge.com/2009/07/expandhide-accordion-feature-explained/)

 * Thank you very much!
 * I found a plugin for accordion blocks. The name is “Accordion Or FAQ”. I’m very
   happy with it. 🙂
