Table with scrollable rows and fixed header

Question

I have this code based on this solution , but it does not seem to work for me.

I would like to be able to :

scroll the rows
the header to be fixed
the headers width to be the same as the first TD row.

I am quite new to JavaScript, so I do not know what I am missing. The scroll part is working, but not in jsfiddle. How can I make the TH the same width as the TD ?

EDIT 1 :

Code

<html>
<head>
    <style>
        .outerDIV {
            position: relative;
            padding-top: 30px;   //height of your thead
        }
        .innerDIV {
            overflow: auto;
            max-height: 200;       //the actual scrolling container
        }
        table thead {
            display: block;
            position: absolute;
            top: 0;
            left: 0;
        }
        table tbody {
            display: block;
        }
    </style>
    <script>
        function scrollingTableSetThWidth(tableId)
        {
            var table = document.getElementById(tableId);

            ths = table.getElementsByTagName('th');
            tds = table.getElementsByTagName('td');

            if(ths.length > 0) {
                for(i=0; i < ths.length; i++) {
                    ths[i].style.width = getCurrentComputedStyle(tds[i], 'width');
                }
            }
        }

        function getCurrentComputedStyle(element, attribute)
        {
            var attributeValue;
            if (window.getComputedStyle) 
            { // class A browsers
                var styledeclaration = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(element, null);
                attributeValue = styledeclaration.getPropertyValue(attribute);
            } else if (element.currentStyle) { // IE
                attributeValue = element.currentStyle[vclToCamelCases(attribute)];
            }
            return attributeValue;

Answer 1

The reason your scrolling isn't working is because you don't have any units on your .innerDiv max-height property.

For matching the width of the header with the table, you don't need javascript if you can set the width of the <th> and <td> cells via CSS.

See this: http://jsfiddle.net/MVxZb/10/

EDIT: updated link. forgot to delete the unnecessary javascript.

Answer 2

your problem is not javascript is html you need to separate your header and your table in 2 different containers not have the headers grouped under the sam container your tbody so basically you can do

<div style="width:200px">
 <table style="width:100%">
     <tr><th>header</th></tr>
 </table>
<div>
<div style="width:200px; height:100px; overflow:auto">
    <table style="width:100%">
      <tr>
        <td>value</td>
      </tr>

    </table>
<div>

like demostrated here

Answer 3

You need to give a width to the element set in absolute position.

For a better looking the width should ~1 em smaller (average width of scrollbar).

在此处输入图片说明

If all columns spread equally in width, you may do something like this : http://jsfiddle.net/MVxZb/9/

.outerDIV {
    position: relative;
    padding-top: 30px;
    display:inline-block;
}
.innerDIV {
    overflow: auto;
    max-height: 150px;
    padding-right:1.1em;
    margin-right:-1.1em;
}
table thead {
display:table;
    width:100%;
    border:solid 1px gray;
    box-sizing:border-box;
    position: absolute;
    border-bottom:0;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right:0;
}

you can use table-layout:fixed; to spread even width to your columns, if th and tds have no width set.

Answer 4

Whenever I needed to keep the header of a table fixed I used this. I'd appreciate other solutions as well.

Here is the fiddle .

table th,
table td {
    padding: 10px;
    width: 100px;
}

.fixed-header{
    position: fixed;
    background: #fff;
}
.container{
    height: 402px;
    overflow: auto;
}
