Table scroll with HTML and CSS

I have a table like that which i fill with a data

<table id="products-table"  style="overflow-y:scroll" >
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Product (Parent Product)</th>
<th>Associated Sites</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
@for (int i = 0; i < Model.Count(); i++)
{
<tr>
<td>
<a href="Edit"><strong>@Model.ElementAt(i).Name</strong></a><br />
</td>
<td>
<span class="lesser"></span>
</td>
<td>@Html.ActionLink("Edit Product", "Edit", "Products")<br />
@Html.ActionLink("Associate Site", "Associate", "Products")
</td>
</tr>
}
<tr>
</tbody>
</table>

and CSS like that

    #products-table
{
width: 200px;
height: 400px;
overflow:scroll;
}

but scroll doesn't work, I want to fix the height of the table and if it exceeds, then work with scrollbar

This is working in all browser

For those wondering how to implement Garry's solution with more than one header this is it:

#wrapper {
width: 235px;
}


table {
border: 1px solid black;
width: 100%;
}


th,
td {
width: 100px;
border: 1px solid black;
}


thead>tr {
position: relative;
display: block;
}


tbody {
display: block;
height: 80px;
overflow: auto;
}
<div id="wrapper">
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>column1</th>
<th>column2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>row1</td>
<td>row1</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row2</td>
<td>row2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row3</td>
<td>row3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>row4</td>
<td>row4</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Works only in Chrome but it can be adapted to other modern browsers. Table falls back to common table with scroll bar in other brws. Uses CSS3 FLEX property.

<table border="1px" class="flexy">
<caption>Lista Sumnjivih vozila:</caption>
<thead>
<tr>
<td>Opis Sumnje</td>
<td>Registarski<br>broj vozila</td>
<td>Datum<br>Vreme</td>
<td>Brzina<br>(km/h)</td>
<td>Lokacija</td>
<td>Status</td>
<td>Akcija</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>


<tr>
<td>Osumnjičen tranzit</td>

Style (CSS 3):

caption {
display: block;
line-height: 3em;
width: 100%;
-webkit-align-items: stretch;
border: 1px solid #eee;
}


.flexy {
display: block;
width: 90%;
border: 1px solid #eee;
max-height: 320px;
overflow: auto;
}


.flexy thead {
display: -webkit-flex;
-webkit-flex-flow: row;
}


.flexy thead tr {
padding-right: 15px;
display: -webkit-flex;
width: 100%;
-webkit-align-items: stretch;
}


.flexy tbody {
display: -webkit-flex;
height: 100px;
overflow: auto;
-webkit-flex-flow: row wrap;
}
.flexy tbody tr{
display: -webkit-flex;
width: 100%;
}


.flexy tr td {
width: 15%;
}

Late answer, another idea, but very short.

  1. put the contents of header cells into div
  2. fix the header contents, see CSS
table  { margin-top:  20px; display: inline-block; overflow: auto; }
th div { margin-top: -20px; position: absolute; }

Note that it is possible to display table as inline-block due to anonymous table objects:

"missing" [in HTML table tree structure] elements must be assumed in order for the table model to work. Any table element will automatically generate necessary anonymous table objects around itself.

/* scrolltable rules */
table  { margin-top:  20px; display: inline-block; overflow: auto; }
th div { margin-top: -20px; position: absolute; }


/* design */
table { border-collapse: collapse; }
tr:nth-child(even) { background: #EEE; }
<table style="height: 150px">
<tr> <th><div>first</div> <th><div>second</div>
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo foo foo foo foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar bar bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
<tr> <td>foo <td>bar
</table>

As of 2016

The proper way to achieve this is position: sticky - see the demo in the link.

Adds a fading gradient to an overflowing HTML table element to better indicate there is more content to be scrolled.

  • Table with fixed header
  • Overflow scroll gradient
  • Custom scrollbar

See the live example below:

$("#scrolltable").html("<table id='cell'><tbody></tbody></table>");
$("#cell").append("<thead><tr><th><div>First col</div></th><th><div>Second col</div></th></tr></thead>");


for (var i = 0; i < 40; i++) {
$("#scrolltable > table > tbody").append("<tr><td>" + "foo" + "</td><td>" + "bar" + "</td></tr>");
}
/* Table with fixed header */


table,
thead {
width: 100%;
text-align: left;
}


#scrolltable {
margin-top: 50px;
height: 120px;
overflow: auto;
width: 200px;
}


#scrolltable table {
border-collapse: collapse;
}


#scrolltable tr:nth-child(even) {
background: #EEE;
}


#scrolltable th div {
position: absolute;
margin-top: -30px;
}




/* Custom scrollbar */


::-webkit-scrollbar {
width: 8px;
}


::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
border-radius: 10px;
}


::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
border-radius: 10px;
box-shadow: inset 0 0 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}




/* Overflow scroll gradient */


.overflow-scroll-gradient {
position: relative;
}


.overflow-scroll-gradient::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 240px;
height: 25px;
background: linear-gradient( rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.001), white);
pointer-events: none;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="overflow-scroll-gradient">
<div id="scrolltable">
</div>
</div>

For whatever it's worth now: here is yet another solution:

  • create two divs within a display: inline-block
  • in the first div, put a table with only the header (header table tabhead)
  • in the 2nd div, put a table with header and data (data table / full table tabfull)
  • use JavaScript, use setTimeout(() => {/*...*/}) to execute code after render / after filling the table with results from fetch
  • measure the width of each th in the data table (using clientWidth)
  • apply the same width to the counterpart in the header table
  • set visibility of the header of the data table to hidden and set the margin top to -1 * height of data table thead pixels

With a few tweaks, this is the method to use (for brevity / simplicity, I used d3js, the same operations can be done using plain DOM):

setTimeout(() => { // pass one cycle
d3.select('#tabfull')
.style('margin-top', (-1 * d3.select('#tabscroll').select('thead').node().getBoundingClientRect().height) + 'px')
.select('thead')
.style('visibility', 'hidden');
let widths=[]; // really rely on COMPUTED values
d3.select('#tabfull').select('thead').selectAll('th')
.each((n, i, nd) => widths.push(nd[i].clientWidth));
d3.select('#tabhead').select('thead').selectAll('th')
.each((n, i, nd) => d3.select(nd[i])
.style('padding-right', 0)
.style('padding-left', 0)
.style('width', widths[i]+'px'));
})

Waiting on render cycle has the advantage of using the browser layout engine thoughout the process - for any type of header; it's not bound to special condition or cell content lengths being somehow similar. It also adjusts correctly for visible scrollbars (like on Windows)

I've put up a codepen with a full example here: https://codepen.io/sebredhh/pen/QmJvKy

This work for me

Demo: jsfiddle

$(function()
{
Fixed_Header();
});

function Fixed_Header()
{
$('.User_Table thead').css({'position': 'absolute'});
$('.User_Table tbody tr:eq("2") td').each(function(index,e){
$('.User_Table thead tr th:eq("'+index+'")').css({'width' : $(this).outerWidth() +"px" });
});
var Header_Height = $('.User_Table thead').outerHeight();
$('.User_Table thead').css({'margin-top' : "-"+Header_Height+"px"});
$('.User_Table').css({'margin-top' : Header_Height+"px"});
}
<div style="overflow:auto">
<table id="table2"></table>
</div>

Try this code for overflow table it will work only on div tag

  .outer {
overflow-y: auto;
height: 300px;
}


.outer {
width: 100%;
-layout: fixed;
}


.outer th {
text-align: left;
top: 0;
position: sticky;
background-color: white;
}
