Horizontal scroll on overflow of table

Question

I have a basic table in a container. The table will have about 25 columns. I am trying to add a horizontal scroll bar on overflow of the table and am having a really tough time.

Answer 1

A solution that nobody mentioned is use white-space: nowrap for the table and add overflow-x to the wrapper.

CSS

.wrapper { overflow-x: auto; }
.wrapper table { white-space: nowrap }

HTML

This is an ideal scenario if you don't want rows with multiple lines.
To add break lines you need to use
.
