Can a table be made responsive?

That depends a lot on what you mean by responsive. You can make a table resize depending on the size of its container. Set the table to 100% width, and put it inline within an HTML box. Whatever width that HTML box comes to (depending on breakpoints, or just setting that box to a percentage-of-the-page width) will be the widest that table can be, and the columns will resize themselves to suit. Browsers just do that part for free.
Truly responsive tables (by which I mean tables that are designed to thoroughly respond to the viewport) may even stop appearing as tables at extra-small viewport sizes. Instead of a layout like this:
name | rank | serial number
-------±----------±------------
Bob | Corporal | 12345
Susan | Major | 23456
Hakim | General | 34567
They may decompose into what looks like a key-value list at really narrow screen dimensions:
- Name: Bob
- Rank: Corporal
- Serial number: 12345
- etc.
That sort of thing takes a lot of careful planning, and usually a lot of hand-coding to go with. You can get a lot of mileage out of the far simpler flexible table layout, as long as you don’t expect miracles.

This is the solution I found useful for a recent project that needed a responsive table. You’d need to learn how to dissect the example and put back into a Freeway page with a combination of inserts and hard coding.
