    Scrollbar on table

    Hi friends,

    I want to know whether we can add a scrollbar for a table without using div.I want to implemement this as a css so that I had used several tables inside my site with a particular class name and i want to implement scrollbars for all of them by just modifying the classname of those tables in the css file.

    Pls help me on this

    Re: Scrollbar on table

    Hi agabhil,

    First of all, Welcome to the forums

    Yes you can. Give the containing element of the tables an overflow property of auto and a fixed height.
    For instance, if the tables are inside a <td> element, then set the <td>:
    Code:
    <td style="height:50px;overflow:auto;">
    Hope makes sense.

    Also, my requirement is to design a class so that if this class is assigned to a table, the table will get scrollbars..

    Thanks for your response

    Re: Scrollbar on table

    Hi there agabhil,

    the table element and the td element do not implement the CSS overflow property.

    Re: Scrollbar on table

    Hi there agabhil,
    But we can implement overflow property to tbody.This is working in Firefox, but not in IE
    That is true for Firefox only and in a rather unsatisfactory manner. It produces an unwanted horizontal scrollbar also.
    Also note that Opera and Safari, like IE do not support the overflow attribute for the tbody.

    Here is how I wouild approach the problem...
    Code:
    
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>scrollable table</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<style type="text/css">
* {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
 }
body {
    margin:10px;
 }
#container {
    width:654px;
    margin:auto;
 }
#table1 {
    border-top:2px solid #999;
    border-right:2px solid #999;
    border-left:2px solid #999;
    margin-bottom:-2px;
 }
#table1 tbody {
    display:none;
 }
#table2 {
    border-right:2px solid #999;
    border-left:2px solid #999;
 }
#table1 th {
    background-color:#eef;
 }
#table1 th,#table2 td {
    width:150px;
    height:30px;
    border:1px solid #000;
    padding:2px;
 }
#scroller {
    width:654px;
    height:98px;
    overflow:auto;
    border-bottom:2px solid #999;
 }
</style>

<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#table1 th,#table2 td {
    height:26px;
 }
#scroller {
    height:104px;
 }
</style>
<![endif]-->

</head>
<body>

<div id="container">

<table id="table1">
<thead><tr>
<th>header</th><th>header</th><th>header</th><th>header</th>
</tr></thead>
<tbody><tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></tbody>
</table>

<div id="scroller">

<table  id="table2">
<tbody><tr>
<td>cell 1</td><td>cell 2</td><td>cell 3</td><td>cell 4</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>cell 5</td><td>cell 6</td><td>cell 7</td><td>cell 8</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>cell 9</td><td>cell 10</td><td>cell 11</td><td>cell 12</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>cell 13</td><td>cell 14</td><td>cell 15</td><td>cell 16</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>cell 17</td><td>cell 18</td><td>cell 19</td><td>cell 20</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>cell 21</td><td>cell 22</td><td>cell 23</td><td>cell 24</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>cell 25</td><td>cell 26</td><td>cell 27</td><td>cell 28</td>
</tr><tr>
<td>cell 29</td><td>cell 30</td><td>cell 31</td><td>cell 32</td>
</tr></tbody>
</table>

</div>
