I have a table that has one cell that will be receiving much more input than other cells. I want to be able to scroll the cell horizontally so that each cell in the table does not get bigger in order to accommodate that cells content.
<div class = "Table">
<div class = "Row">
<div class = "Cell">Name</div>
<div class = "Cell">Info</div>
<div class = "Cell">A lot of content, content, content, content, content</div>
<div class = "Cell">Phone Number</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is an example of the table I keep getting:
+-----+-------+----------------------------------+
| Jon | 45.45 | somecontent, | xxx-xxx-xxxx |
| | | somecontent, | |
| | | somecontent | |
| | | ,somecontent | |
+-----+-------+-------------------+--------------+
Is there any way I can make the third cell scrollable? So that no matter how much input is placed in it all other cells will remain unscathed?
Here is an example of what I want:
+-----+-------+---------------------------------------------------+--------------+
| Jon | 45.45 | somecontent,somecontent,somecontent,somecontent.. | xxx-xxx-xxxx |
+-----+-------+<--------------------___SCROLLBAR____---------->---+--------------+
There is nothing special about my css at the moment:
.Table{ display: table ; }
.Row{display: table-row; }
.Cell{display:table-cell ;}
Here is a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/DJXvD/
Here's my solution:
<div class = "Table">
<div class = "Row">
<div class = "Cell">Name</div>
<div class = "Cell">Info</div>
<div class = "Cell"><span>A lot of content, content, content, content, content,
content, content, content, content...</span></div>
<div class = "Cell">Phone Number</div>
</div>
</div>
And here's CSS:
.Table {
display: table ;
border-collapse:collapse;
}
.Row{
display: table-row;
}
.Cell{
display:table-cell;
padding: 2px 5px;
border: 1px solid red;
}
.Cell > span {
white-space: nowrap;
display: block;
width: 200px;
overflow-x: auto;
}
