Making HTML Table Responsive

I am trying to make this table responsive to re-sizing the browser and specifically to mobile devices. I have tried to make the width of the table tag 100%, but that affects the spacing of my image and text. Is there any other way to make this table responsive to where it does not affect the spacing of my images and text? Thank you very much for the responses in advance.

<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" style="width: 1000px;">
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">
        <img alt="Logo" src="Logo.png" style="width: 120px; height: 100px;" />
      </td>
      <td style="vertical-align: middle; text-align: center;">
        <b><i>
          Everyone is free to use the summary information. Please acknowledge 
          the Logo as the source of any information accessed from the site unless 
          otherwise noted.<br/>
        </i></b>
      </td>
      <td style="text-align: center; vertical-align: middle;">
        <img alt="Logo" src="Logo.png" style="width: 120px; height: 100px;" />
      </td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

you can use Bootstrap to make responsive web pages.

There are different class available which will take care of responsiveness.

If you don't want to use bootstrap then you can simply set width attribute to auto instead of fixed 1000px

it might be possible to create by using inline-css so you can use @media query which will help you to make it responsive table. working example as below

/*
	Max width before this PARTICULAR table gets nasty. This query will take effect for any screen smaller than 760px and also iPads specifically.
	*/
	@media
	  only screen 
    and (max-width: 760px), (min-device-width: 768px) 
    and (max-device-width: 1024px)  {

		/* Force table to not be like tables anymore */
		table, thead, tbody, th, td, tr {
			display: block;
		}

		/* Hide table headers (but not display: none;, for accessibility) */
		thead tr {
			position: absolute;
			top: -9999px;
			left: -9999px;
		}

    tr {
      margin: 0 0 1rem 0;
    }
      
    tr:nth-child(odd) {
      background: #ccc;
    }
    
		td {
			/* Behave  like a "row" */
			border: none;
			border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
			position: relative;
			padding-left: 50%;
		}

		td:before {
			/* Now like a table header */
			position: absolute;
			/* Top/left values mimic padding */
			top: 0;
			left: 6px;
			width: 45%;
			padding-right: 10px;
			white-space: nowrap;
		}

		/*
		Label the data
    You could also use a data-* attribute and content for this. That way "bloats" the HTML, this way means you need to keep HTML and CSS in sync. Lea Verou has a clever way to handle with text-shadow.
		*/
		td:nth-of-type(1):before { content: "First Name"; }
		td:nth-of-type(2):before { content: "Last Name"; }
		td:nth-of-type(3):before { content: "Job Title"; }
		td:nth-of-type(4):before { content: "Favorite Color"; }
		td:nth-of-type(5):before { content: "Wars of Trek?"; }
		td:nth-of-type(6):before { content: "Secret Alias"; }
		td:nth-of-type(7):before { content: "Date of Birth"; }
		td:nth-of-type(8):before { content: "Dream Vacation City"; }
		td:nth-of-type(9):before { content: "GPA"; }
		td:nth-of-type(10):before { content: "Arbitrary Data"; }
