I want to add a scroll bar when the html table body overflows.I do not want to scroll the table header. I have these html and css codes in my oracle apex page

HTML

<div class="t-Report-wrap">
<div class="t-Report-tableWrap">
    <table class="t-Report-report" summary="tab">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th class="t-Report-colHead" id="CODE" align="center">Code</th>
                <th class="t-Report-colHead" id="HEAD" align="center">Head</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>            
        <tbody>
            <tr> <td > 5198 </td><td >SUSPENCE </td></tr>
            <tr> <td > 1308 </td><td >SHARE IN KNR</td></tr>
            <tr> <td > 4803 </td><td >ONE TIME </td></tr>
            <tr><td >6021</td><td >NEETHI GOODS </td></tr>
            <tr><td >6022</td><td >MANNURE STOCK </td></tr>
            <tr><td >4832</td><td >DONATION TO </td></tr>
            <tr><td >5218</td><td >CALANDER </td></tr>
            <tr><td >4829</td><td >BUILDING TAX </td></tr>
            <tr><td >5199</td><td >BICYCLE ADVANCE </td></tr>
            <tr><td >2509</td><td >BANK LOAN LT MI(SPL) </td></tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>
<div class="t-Report-links"></div>
<table class="t-Report-pagination t-Report-pagination--bottom" role="presentation"></table> 
</div>

CSS

.t-Report-wrap {
    position: relative;
}
.t-Report-tableWrap {
    height:180px;
    overflow:auto;  
    margin-top:20px;
}
.t-Report-tableWrap table {
    width:100%;
}
.t-Report-tableWrap table thead th .t-Report-colHead {
    position:absolute;   
    top:-20px;
    z-index:2;
    height:20px;
    width:35%;
    border:1px solid red;
}

But with this code, the table header is also scrolling. This was referenced from SO answer How to display scroll bar onto a html table. Can anybody help me to find out the error in this code?

  • Either remove `th` or `.t-Report-colHead` from your CSS because those are targeting the same elements. – jayly Mar 09 '18 at 07:24
  • Thanks, but the headings are now overlapping.The heading 'head' is displayed over the heading 'code'. – Nidheesh Mar 09 '18 at 07:27
  • According to the link you provided, you should wrap your `` text content in `` and then target those in the CSS. So something like `Code`. – jayly Mar 09 '18 at 07:31
  • ya.got it. I added the span. Now it is ok and working fine. Thank you sir. – Nidheesh Mar 09 '18 at 07:33

Update your th HTML to include a span:

<th id="CODE" align="center"><span class="t-Report-colHead">Code</span></th>

And edit your CSS selectors to remove the repetitive th:

.t-Report-tableWrap table thead .t-Report-colHead

Set height and add overflow:auto; to .t-Report-tableWrap tbody instead of .t-Report-tableWrap so that the scrolling will only effect table body.

.t-Report-wrap {
    position: relative;
}
.t-Report-tableWrap {  
    margin-top:20px;
}
.t-Report-tableWrap table {
    width:100%;
}
.t-Report-tableWrap table thead th .t-Report-colHead {
    position:absolute;   
    top:-20px;
    z-index:2;
    height:20px;
    width:35%;
    border:1px solid red;
}
.t-Report-tableWrap tbody{
    height:180px;
    overflow:auto;
}

Hope this helps.

Change css code 

tbody {
    display:block;
    height:200px;
    overflow:auto;
}
thead, tbody tr {
    display:table;
    width:100%;
    table-layout:fixed;/* even columns width , fix width of table too*/
}
thead {
    width: calc( 100% - 1em )/* scrollbar is average 1em/16px width, remove it from thead width */
}
t-Report-report {
    width:400px;
}
<!DOCTYPE html>

Your code is incorrect as you added an extra space between th and .t-Report-colHead in .t-Report-tableWrap table thead th .t-Report-colHead {

However, here is a working code.

tr{
  display: table;
  width: 100%;
  table-layout: fixed;
}

thead{
  display: block;
}

tbody{
  display: block;
  height: 180px;
  overflow: auto;
}

CODEPEN

Hope this helps.

    works but I have to apply width:100%, when table row is less than 100% the scroll bar stands at the left most point. – Nidheesh Mar 09 '18 at 08:28

I think apex has a setup for this, see this example:

Without the setting: https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=145797:1

With the setting: https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=145797:12
