Make the bootstrap table scroll-able vertically and horizontally with fixed header

Question

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"> <thead> <tr> <th>#</th> <th>Firstname</th> <th>Lastname</th> <th>Age</th> <th>City</th> <th>Country</th> <th>Sex</th> <th>Example</th> <th>Example</th> <th>Example</th> <th>Example</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>Anna</td> <td>Pitt</td> <td>35</td> <td>New York</td> <td>USA</td> <td>Female</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> <td>Yes</td> </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

How to make the "thead" fixed of this bootstrap table with vertical and horizontal scroll-bar?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

put the table inside the div like code below to make scrollable table.

<div style="overflow: scroll;"> 
    <table>
    ...
    </table>
</div>
