HTML-CSS: Tips of the Day
How do I create an HTML table with a fixed/frozen left column and a scrollable body?
If you want a table where only the columns scroll horizontally, you can position: absolute the first column (and specify its width explicitly), and then wrap the entire table in an overflow-x: scroll block. Don't bother trying this in IE7, however...
HTML Code:
<div> <table> <tr><th class="headcol">1</th><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td></tr> <tr><th class="headcol">2</th><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td></tr> <tr><th class="headcol">3</th><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td></tr> <tr><th class="headcol">4</th><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td></tr> <tr><th class="headcol">5</th><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td></tr> <tr><th class="headcol">6</th><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td><td class="long">QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM</td></tr> </table> </div>
CSS Code:
table { border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0; border-top: 1px solid grey; } td, th { margin: 0; border: 1px solid grey; white-space: nowrap; border-top-width: 0px; } div { width: 500px; overflow-x: scroll; margin-left: 5em; overflow-y: visible; padding: 0; } .headcol { position: absolute; width: 5em; left: 0; top: auto; border-top-width: 1px; /*only relevant for first row*/ margin-top: -1px; /*compensate for top border*/ } .headcol:before { content: 'Row '; } .long { background: yellow; letter-spacing: 1em; }
