Question

I\'m using bootstrap 3 for a website project. I\'m trying to create a page with a responsive table, so that I\'d have the scrollbar when the table is too big. I made a test

Answer 1

You can use FooTable. It is a jQuery plugin that allows you to resize and redistribute the data within your tables to best suite your current breakpoint.

Answer 2

Make sure to set your table display block

.table {
   display: block !important;
}

Answer 3

bootstrap's table-responsive works fine in sandbox environments, but it is buggy on live environments. The reason for the bug is that bootstrap gives table-responsive styles of width: 100% and overflow-y: hidden. These two styles do not play nice together. Overflow hiding works best when there is a fixed or max-width. I gave table-responsive a max-width: 270px; for mobile devices, and that fixed the bug.

I'v done it.

<div style="display: table">
    <div style="display: table-row">
        <div style="display: table-cell">


            <div class="container-fluid">
                <div class="row">
                    <div class="col-xs-12">


                       //wrapper that will give opportunity to use: overflow-x: auto; 
                       <table style="table-layout: fixed; width: 100%;">
                           <tr>
                               <td>


                                  //SCROLL
                                  <div style="width: 100%; overflow-x: auto;">

                                      //table, that shoud have "table-responsive" bootstrap class effect
                                      <table class="table table-hover">

                                          //...table content...

                                      </table>

                                  </div>


                               <td>
                           </tr>

                       </table>                           


                    </div>
                </div>

        </div>
    </div>
</div>

You will receive at xs-screen (example from my app):

Answer 5

I had this problem and found that it worked to either give the table a set width in px, or to set the table to display: block.

Answer 6

Replace your table-responsive with this

<div class='table-responsive'> -> <div style="overflow-x:auto;">
