I have developed a table in bootstrap using the "table-responsive" class and it works as expected, however as the table is rather large and will be used on a range of devices I need to make it more user friendly. I have searched the forums but cannot find what I am after.
Is it possible to have the scrollbar which appears at the bottom of responsive table visible at all times and not just when the screen is minimized to a certain extent?
Also is there any way to replicate this scrollbar at the top of the table as well? As the table will be long it would be a better solution to have it visible at the top and bottom.
For a horizontal scrollbar on top try using the jquery.doubleScroll
plugin
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.table-responsive').doubleScroll();
});
If i get you right. Make the container which the table is in have a fixed with and height, also have the overflow property set to auto. By doing that you table can't be 100% because it will fill its container. That means the table as to have a fixed width also which is larger than it's container to show the overflow effect. See sample below. i hope it helps or point you to the right direction
.table-cont {
max-width: 400px;
max-height: 200px;
overflow: auto;
border: 1px red solid;
}
.table-cont .table {
min-width: 600px;
}
