I have jqgrid with dynamic data but the major issue is data is so much so it needs a horizontally scroll to view all data and that behavior is mandatory but when is fix that header it can't scroll. i need that header scroll as well.
i set position : "fixed";
I suggest you to have a wrapper div for your jqgrid. Like:
<div id='gridwrapper' class='gridWrapper'>
<table id='grid'><tr><td></td></tr></table>
<div id='gridPager'></div>
</div>
set the css for gridWrapper:
.gridWrapper{
width: 100%;
overflow:auto; /* <---set the overflow to auto*/
}
What happens when you create jqgrid, it generates/creates two tables one for the headers and one for the creating/displaying data rows. So, by default only data rows would be scrolled not the headers.
I know this has been a year old question.
But I found this working for me.
JQGrid create 2 <DIV>: one for Header and other for Body.
By Default JQGrid assigns the Body <div> as 100%.
So change the height of ui-jqgrid-bdiv.

By default, Tabulator reduces the max width of the table and displays a horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the table. Is it possible to remove this scroll bar and force tabulator to increase the width of the table (so that the horizonta scrollbar is displayed at the bottom of the browser window)?
Add this to your CSS file for the div containing the horizontal scrollbar.
overflow-x: hidden;
To make the table wider, you can enclose it within a <div> and add this to the CSS file for that particular div.
table-layout: fixed;
width: 100%;
Update
As of Tabulator v4.7 there is a built in layout mode for handling this. the fitDataTable layout mode will fit the width table to its contents:
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
layout:"fitDataTable",
});
See the Layout Documentation for full details and a working example
Original Answer
There is no built in feature for allowing external scrolling of the table. The table is based in a div and so will take up 100% the width of its parent element.
It will then either handle scrolling inside the table or resize the columns to fit depending on how your table is configured.
You could make some CSS tweaks to allow this form of display but it may cause the table to malfunction under certain circumstance, depending on your configuration.
You would need to include the following CSS after the tabulator style sheet has been included:
.tabulator, .tabulator-header, .tabulator-tableHolder{
overflow:visible !important;
}
But essentially at that point you may be better off just using a standard HTML table as you seem to be disabling a lot of the features that you would use Tabulator for.
I need to implement a table, in which I can both resize columns and scroll trough the body (as seen here). I am currently using colResizable to resize columns, but I was unable to find a way to make the body scrollable and still keep the columns resizable. colResizable only changes the header's width and expects the columns to behave the same way.
As far as my research went, it is only possible to do scroll through the body by setting display: block on <tbody> which will ultimatly screw up colResizable.
Changing the width of the columns on each drag via JavaScript is possible, but I'd rather go for a html + css only solution, since the table will contain multiple hundred if not thousands of rows and it might effect the performance.
If one of you guys knows a way around this, please let me know.
Edit 1: Unfortunately I am not able to post any code related to my project, since it may contain confidential information, but I believe it is not needed anyways since this problem is not specific to my existing code.
Edit 2: I forgot to mention, that I am using <thead> for my headers. As C4pt4inC4nn4bis pointed out, it is easily doable to resize columns and scroll through <tbody> when not using a <thead> tag. Since I want my headers to stay on top of the table, even while scrolling, I can't simply move everything in <thead> to <tbody>.
It's impossible to show Y-axis scroll at without display:block option.
Also colResizable doesn't support this situation.
Without , the headers can't not be fixed on the top.
Check this code. I manually resize columns whenever resize the table head.
There is an event handler (onDrag) in the colResizable plugin.
$("table").colResizable({
liveDrag: true,
onDrag: function (e) {
$("tbody tr td:nth-child(1)").width($("thead th:nth-child(1)").width());
$("tbody tr td:nth-child(2)").width($("thead th:nth-child(2)").width());
$("tbody tr td:nth-child(3)").width($("thead th:nth-child(3)").width());
$("tbody tr td:nth-child(4)").width($("thead th:nth-child(4)").width());
},
});
If you do not use the liveDrag option, use the onResize event handler.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.
I am trying for the last complete week to have html table with fixed header, dynamic column widths and horizontal scroll. There are many options already available but each one lacks or misses a part of requirement.
Any help would be appreciated.
#ashish - Not too sure on the dynamic width aspect, but I could possibly point you in the right direction with your other concerns. As far as the header, try something like this:
.th { position: fixed; }
For the horizontal scroll, try adding a container div around the table in your HTML, like so:
<div style="overflow-x:auto;">
<table>
... table content ...
</table>
</div>
Hope this helps!
I'm trying to create a datagrid table that will allow me to fix the header. I have placed the table within two DIV elements and fixed the THEAD portion of the table. I populate the table dynamically and there can be a different number of columns and may have different widths each time.
<DIV style="position: relative; width="500px">
<DIV style="height:105px; overflow: auto;">
<TABLE width="502px">
<THEAD>
<TR style="left:-1px;top: 0;position: absolute;">
... header content ...
</TR>
</THEAD>
<TBODY>
... data columns ...
</TBODY>
</TABLE>
</DIV>
</DIV>
The solution works well for the vertical overflow. However, I'm struggling with the horizontal overflow. Because I fixed the THEADs TR element, if my table exceeds the DIV width, the horizontal scrollbar appears and I can scroll the data horizontally, but the titles are static and don't scroll.
I was thinking that I might be able to somehow scroll the table header using jQuery if I could get the id/name of the dynamically created scrollbar, but I don't know if this is the right solution or if it is even possible.
A ton of people have tried to make fixed headers and left columns for tables using html and css, that stay put while you scroll, and unfortunately it doesn't work.
Your only option is to use javascript to manipulate the table as it scrolls. I have no specific code to recommend, but do some google searches.
I have a html table and I want to freeze the header row th tag for scrolling the data. How I can do that? Does I need to use the Dom?
Thanks !!
My solution is to use two tables and fix the column widths. The lower table is in a scrollable div and has no header.
If you take Accessibility seriously, two tables is not the way to go since it breaks rules.
There are ways to do it in pure CSS, but it is a headache to get it to work in all browsers. There are a few examples out on the net, but they do not all work 100% with IE without tweaks.
I am currently working on a CSS only version, this is getting pretty close: http://www.coderanch.com/t/431995/HTML-JavaScript/Table-with-fixed-header-scolling#1918825
Does not work in IE8rc1 yet, IE6/7 has a border issue and you have to live with the scrollbar looking different in FF vs IE.
With FireFox, you can put style="height: 200px; overflow-y: auto" But to have a pure CSS version compatible with all major browsers, I've use this example since IE doesn't support syles in tbody or thead.
I have come up with a solution that sort of combines two previously mentioned ones. It uses jQuery and two tables , one for the header and one for the content. The header table is set to a width of 100% with no column widths set. At the bottom of the content table there is a row defined to match the header table with the column widths set. This row is hidden so that it is not shown, but retains the column widths.
For this example I gave my header row an ID of 'Header1' and the bottom row and ID of 'Header2'. Also I wrapped the content table inside a div with an ID of 'scrollTable'.
I set styles in my CSS file for the scrollTable ID, see below:
#scrollTable {
height:250px;
overflow-x:hidden;
overflow-y:scroll;
}
Now for the jQuery part. Basically what I'm doing here is taking the widths of the bottom row columns and setting the header columns to match. I stretch the width of the last column of the header so that it fits over the top of the scroll bar. See code below:
$(document).ready(function(){
var maxWidth = $('#Header1').width(); // Get max row Width
$('#Header2 th').each(function(i) { // Set col headers widths to to match col widths
var width = $(this).width();
$('#Header1 th').eq(i).width(width);
});
var blankSpace = maxWidth - $('#Header1').width(); // Calculate extra space
$('#Header1 th:last').width( $('#Header1 th:last').width() + blankSpace ); // Stretch last header column to fill remaining space
});
I have tested this successfully on IE 6, 7 & 8, Firefox 3.0.1.4, Chrome 3.0.195.25, Opera 10, and Safari 3.2.2 on Windows XP.
I've done it in the past using CSS by defining a height for the <TBODY> tag on my table, and using overflow:auto. This was a while ago, and I think there were some compatability problems. I don't remember precisely what they were, but this solution may work for your problem.
the best solution (the one that scales with lots of data) is to use 2 tables like aaron said, the top table has the headers, and the bottom table should have the headers as the last row (or the footer), but with opacity of 0, so that you cannot see them.
This the headers at the bottom make the bottom table have the same column widths as the top table, making things line up. make sure you style both header and footer the same.
you will also have to create a seperate scroll bar for vertical scrolling to the right of the table, because otherwise the scroll bar will mess up your widths. add a scroll event listener to set the scrolltop of the table to the scrolltop of the scrollbar, and resize the scroll bar to be the same height as the table.
its pretty easy, actually =)
Create a single table as you normally would to meet accessibility concerns. Dynamically create a new table based on the thead using jQuery (copy the thead) and inject it into the page above the first table and give it the fixed position. It should stay in place while the rest of the table scrolls, but it will still remain accessible and work with JavaScript disabled.
Have you tried this plugin from JQuery ? http://plugins.jquery.com/project/floatobject
I believe this does what you want. Check out the demo # http://amirharel.com/labs/fo/float_demo.html
