How To Make Html Table Vertically Scrollable

see jsbin I have to make my html table vertically scrollable. I have used below code on tbody tag but its doesn't work for me

Solution 1:

Why don't you place your table in a div?

<divstyle="height:100px;overflow:auto;">

 ... Your code goes here ...

</div>

Solution 2:

Just add the display:block to the thead > tr and tbody. check the below example

Solution 3:

Try this one.. It is working... Here JSBIN

tabletbody { height:300px; overflow-y:scroll; display:block; }
tablethead { display:block; }

Solution 4:

The best way to do this is strictly separate your table into two different tables - header and body:

<divclass="header"><table><tr><!-- th here --></tr></table></div><divclass="body"><table><tr><!-- td here --></tr></table></div>

.body {
  height: 100px;
  overflow: auto
}

If your table has a big width (more than screen width), then you have to add scroll events for horizontal scrolling header and body synchroniously.

You should never touch table tags (table, tbody, thead, tfoot, tr) with CSS properties display and overflow. Dealing with DIV wrappers is much more preferable.

Solution 5:

The jQuery plugin is probably the best option. http://farinspace.com/jquery-scrollable-table-plugin/

To fixing header you can check this post

Fixing Header of GridView or HtmlTable (there might be issue that this should work in IE only)

CSS for fixing header

div#gridPanel 
{
   width:900px;
   overflow:scroll;
   position:relative;
}


div#gridPanel th
{  
   top: expression(document.getElementById("gridPanel").scrollTop-2);
   left:expression(parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.scrollLeft);
   position: relative;
   z-index: 20;
  }

<div height="200px"id="gridPanel" runat="server" scrollbars="Auto" width="100px">
table..
</div>
