This is a good idea, but I feel like it would benefit by forgoing the "HTML" art layout, and being more similar to the actual periodic table, by organizing elements in groups on the X axis and in introduction year/version on the Y axis.

Smaller detail: the the bottom groups buttons would feel more interactive as mouseovers -- and more consistent with the elements cases.

Nice concept. Though, is it a table anymore if it's responsive? Maybe allow horizontal scrolling in smaller viewports b/c on smaller screens looks like an unordered list of html elements

I have a hunch as to why this table isn't anything like the periodic table of elements.

For those that don't know, a long time ago Josh Duck built an HTML Periodic Table that actually resembled the periodic table. It got taken down, because someone else made another HTML Periodic Table (with clearly different organization and a very different look), and then she claimed that Josh Duck's very different periodic table was infringing on her copyright. She even went as far as to claim that he somehow even intercepted her emails to steal her ideas, and even alleged that Josh Duck and another guy who made a similar HTML Periodic Table were in kahoots because they were in the same country (Source: https://i.imgur.com/sthuEd8.png)! Pictures of the periodic table and a detailed story here: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150417/08423730696/desig...

By making this table look nothing like the periodic table of elements (or like the ones that people were sued over), I think the creator should be able to avoid being sued by anyone trying to make a quick buck.
