Twitter bootstrap scrollable table

Solution 1:

Table elements don't appear to support this directly. Place the table in a div and set the height of the div and set overflow: auto.

Solution 2:

.span3 {  
    height: 100px !important;
    overflow: scroll;
}

You'll want to wrap it in it's own div or give that span3 an id of it's own so you don't affect your whole layout.

Here's a fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/zm6rf/

Solution 3:

Don't need the wrap it in a div...

CSS:

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

table{
 height:300px;              // <-- Select the height of the table
 display: -moz-groupbox;    // Firefox Bad Effect
}
tbody{
  overflow-y: scroll;      
  height: 200px;            //  <-- Select the height of the body
  width: 100%;
  position: absolute;
}

Solution 4:

I had the same issue and used a combination of the above solutions (and added a twist of my own). Note that I had to specify column widths to keep them consistent between header and body.

In my solution, the header and footer stay fixed while the body scrolls.

<div class="table-responsive">
    <table class="table table-striped table-hover table-condensed">
        <thead>
            <tr>
                <th width="25%">First Name</th>
                <th width="13%">Last Name</th>
                <th width="25%" class="text-center">Address</th>
                <th width="25%" class="text-center">City</th>
                <th width="4%" class="text-center">State</th>
                <th width="8%" class="text-center">Zip</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
    </table>
    <div class="bodycontainer scrollable">
        <table class="table table-hover table-striped table-condensed table-scrollable">
            <tbody>
                <!-- add rows here, specifying same widths as in header, at least on one row -->
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>
    <table class="table table-hover table-striped table-condensed">
        <tfoot>
            <!-- add your footer here... -->
        </tfoot>
    </table>
</div>

And then just applied the following CSS:

.bodycontainer { max-height: 450px; width: 100%; margin: 0; overflow-y: auto; }
.table-scrollable { margin: 0; padding: 0; }

I hope this helps someone else.

Solution 5:

CSS

.achievements-wrapper { height: 300px; overflow: auto; }

HTML

<div class="span3 achievements-wrapper">
    <h2>Achievements left</h2>
    <table class="table table-striped">
    ...
    </table>
</div>
