How to add table on click over each column in Highcharts

Question

I am using highcharts as for using the charts drilldown. I can display the column graph which has a drilldown. The requirement is after clicking over each column, a table related to that column's detailed information needs to be displayed with some data concerning that barchart below the chart. I am unable to create that Table. Would like to prefer ant table, but any table is appreciated, and would like to close the table with a close button. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you

Added the code here. I would like to see the table when you click on the drilldown and click either cats to show a table with with all the cats.

You can start from here to make table in HTML, and inside chart.events.drilldown to control content in tables.

  chart: {
    type: 'column',
    events: {
      drilldown: function(e) {
        if (e.point.name === 'Animals') {
          firstDiv.style.display = 'block';
          secondDiv.style.display = 'none';
          thirdDiv.style.display = 'none';
        } else if (e.point.name === 'test') {
          secondDiv.style.display = 'block';
          firstDiv.style.display = 'none';
          thirdDiv.style.display = 'none';
        } else if (e.point.name === 'test2') {
          thirdDiv.style.display = 'block';
          firstDiv.style.display = 'none';
          secondDiv.style.display = 'none';
        }

        setTimeout(function() {
          chart.setSize(300);
        }, 0);
      },
      drillup: function() {
        firstDiv.style.display = 'none';
        secondDiv.style.display = 'none';
        thirdDiv.style.display = 'none';

        this.setSize(null, null);
      }
    }
  },
