Hi,
I've got a few wiki pages that contain large tables (more columns than will fit across
the page and more rows than will fit down the page), after being imported from a
spreadsheet. I'd like to restrict the view of such tables to what can be shown in the
visible area, with sliders to move around. Is there already a facility to do this, or a
simple styling parameter?
Thanks,
Bryn

You should certainly be able to do that using a Skin extension to put custom CSS (if you
wish to do that for the whole page or whole wiki):

The other option, probably simpler, is to use HTML style values just before your table.
For example:
(% style=“…html style content here” %)
|=head1|=head2
|cell11|cell12
See examples and documentation

Thanks

Thanks. I ended up doing:
(% style="display: block; max-height: 80vh; overflow:auto" %)
|=head1|=head2
|cell11|cell12
Which limited the table size to a proportion of the available viewport height and added
scrollbars when the table went oversize. The only real downside for this approach is that
the thead won't stick at the top, but this appears to be a CSS conundrum for which
there doesn't appear to be a decent solution.
Cheers,
Bryn
