I want to get a table in CSS with a sticky header (only body scrolls) on Y, and whole table scrolls on X.
According to Michael_B comment on my previous question here there is a flexbox bug and I have to use inline-flex
on row + width
on cells to make sure my row grows correctly.
This leads me to this result:
html, body {
width: 100%;
min-height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.table {
border: solid black;
width: 60vw;
height: 80vh;
overflow-x: auto;
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
}
.header {
border: solid cyan;
flex: 0;
}
.body {
flex: 1;
overflow-y: auto;
border: solid yellow;
display: inline-block;
}
.row {
border: solid red;
display: inline-flex;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
}
.cell {
border: solid green;
width: 400px;
height: 50px;
}
<div class="table">
<div class="header">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
cell 1
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 2
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="body">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
cell 1
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 2
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 3
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
cell 1
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 2
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 3
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
cell 1
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 2
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As you can see it's not exactly what I want. It seems my rows do not grow according to their content size even with inline-flex, and this happens only when using a flex column layout on the table.
html, body {
width: 100%;
min-height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
display: flex;
align-items: center;
justify-content: center;
}
.table {
border: solid black;
width: 60vw;
height: 80vh;
overflow-x: auto;
}
.header {
border: solid cyan;
flex: 0;
display: inline-block;
height: 50px;
}
.body {
flex: 1;
overflow-y: auto;
border: solid yellow;
display: inline-block;
height: calc(100% - 50px - 16px);
}
.row {
border: solid red;
display: inline-flex;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: center;
}
.cell {
border: solid green;
width: 400px;
height: 50px;
}
By removing flex column, using inline-block and calc computations, I almost get the behavior I want, except I'd like the scrollY scrollbar to always stay visible
<div class="table">
<div class="header">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
cell 1
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 2
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="body">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
cell 1
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 2
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 3
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
cell 1
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 2
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 3
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell">
cell 1
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 2
</div>
<div class="cell">
cell 3
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Anyone knows how I could achieve the table layout I want? I'm open for no flexbox solution but I don't want a JS based solution for now.
