How to make bootstrap table scroll-able vertically and horizontally with fixed header?

I got one solution but there are some limitations like:

  • The width of th and td will be fixed
  • The height of the table will be fixed

That solution is here:JSFIDDLE

I'm trying to make the table with these properties:

  • Responsiveness(Height and width)
  • Dynamic width of td and th
  • Vertical and horizontal scroll-able with fixed 'thead'

With bootstrap table, i have done this...

table {
  border: 1px solid black;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  max-height: 350px;
}

td,
th {
  border: 1px solid black;
  width: 1%;
}

.table-fixed thead {
  width: 97%;
}

.table-fixed tbody {
  height: 150px;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  width: 100%;
}
<div class="container">
  <div class="">
    <table class="table-fixed table table-responsive">

        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </div>
</div>

Note: Multiple rows and columns to make it scroll-able. In this table,

  • The width of td and th in the same column are same.
  • The width of of different columns are not fixed.
  • The table is responsive.

The only problem with this table is, the header is not fixed. I tried things that i have mentioned in my previous post. Previous Post

You can use css to do this with display: block.

Something like this:

table tbody, table thead
{
    display: block;
}
table tbody 
{
   overflow: auto;
   height: 100px;
}

See the example here

  • Have you visited those inks which i mentioned in my post? – Rabinder Bisht Jan 18 '18 at 12:27
  • Yes, check this updated fiddle [here](http://jsfiddle.net/or4kzuaf/1/). I used your code in this link. – Fernando Paz Jan 18 '18 at 12:45
  • The table with "tbody width:100%" is not a solution. Requirement is to make it scroll-able vertically and horizontally, please go through my question once again. And if i make the table in bootstrap grid, say half of the screen then it should take only half and should be horizontally scroll-able. But in your solution, it is not happening.. http://jsfiddle.net/rbrohitbisht/or4kzuaf/2/ – Rabinder Bisht Jan 19 '18 at 06:13
  • I just copy his cody and add `thead, tbody { display: block; }`. I update the code now to show the horizontal scroll bar, [look](http://jsfiddle.net/or4kzuaf/10/) – Fernando Paz Jan 19 '18 at 09:42

    The solution is not correct. Check this.. [Your Solution](http://jsfiddle.net/rbrohitbisht/or4kzuaf/11/) when we need 2 tables in a row... Now check this one... [My Solution](http://jsfiddle.net/rbrohitbisht/or4kzuaf/5/), in my solution, the only thing remaining to make the width of 'td' and 'th' dynamic, not fixed. I hope you got my point. – Rabinder Bisht Jan 19 '18 at 10:46

  • Ok, I understand what you did. – Fernando Paz Jan 19 '18 at 14:18
  • but if I want to add Horizontal Scrollbar only to the last two columns. Last two columns should be wrapped in a scrollable container. How can we implement this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64114303/how-to-add-horizontal-scrollbar-in-a-react-bootstrap-table – Kunal Tyagi Sep 29 '20 at 08:08

Try this:

table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    overflow-x: scroll;
}
thead {
    background-color: #EFEFEF;
}
thead, tbody {
    display: block;
}
tbody {
    overflow-y: scroll;
    overflow-x: hidden;
    height: 100vh;
}
td, th {
    min-width: 100px;
    height: 25px;
    border: dashed 1px lightblue;
    overflow:hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
    max-width: 100px;

}
.container{
width:100%;

  • This table is not horizontally scroll-able, and i want to remove the limitation of fixed width of td and th.. I don't want like this http://jsfiddle.net/rbrohitbisht/or4kzuaf/4/. Please, see my requirements once more... – Rabinder Bisht Jan 19 '18 at 06:21
  • This is a [SOLUTION](http://jsfiddle.net/rbrohitbisht/or4kzuaf/5/), but problem is: **fixed width of all columns**. I'm trying to give dynamic width to the column items, if width of "td" is more than "th", then this should be the width of the whole column and same for the opposite case. – Rabinder Bisht Jan 19 '18 at 06:41
  • Finally i got the solution... [Solution](http://jsfiddle.net/rbrohitbisht/or4kzuaf/16/) – Rabinder Bisht Jan 19 '18 at 12:58
  • It seems it doesn't matches with your requirement...how ever the column width and heading width is not equal right? – BharathRao Jan 19 '18 at 13:46
  • pretty nice...but still i'm finiding the way to dynamically set the columns width. Anyway thanks for you to making me to think a lot!!! – BharathRao Jan 19 '18 at 13:55
