JQuery plugin to give a really large table a scollbar?

this isnt so much a Javascript problem, but a CSS problem. However, tables are known to be finicky about CSS at the best of times, and scroll bars are probably the worst thing to try and do :/

I’m sure its possible to do, but its going to be buggy and maybe even broken completely in browsers such as IE6.

How could I otherwise implement such a large table like this one into a design like this? (ole.daveyyzermans.nl)

Note that it will also be viewed by people with small screens. (1024×768)

I reckon using the method you currently have could work in all browsers, as its probably the best way. What’s the problem with the current method?

Look at it in IE6, the width doesn’t change if you resize the window, and no scrollbars appear. And it’s not showing well in Firefox either.

that would be because IE6 doesnt support the overflow-x property, only the overflow.

Try overflow: auto; instead.

Doesn’t work. :(

Maybe it has something to do with the width of one of the elements… can’t be, the only width defined is the titles-table.

@klaas4 – you seem to be on the right track, try defining the width of the div you want to show scrollbars for…

@funkdaddy That’s the problem, I would like it to be fluid.
When I do assign a width: the scrollbar appears, even with overflow-x, so @philo23, you were wrong.

I got it to work with a bit of ordinary javascript. Thanks anyway!
