Bootstrap button drop-down inside responsive table not visible because of scroll

Zim

I have a problem with drop-down buttons inside tables when are responsive and scroll active because the drop-down is not visible because of overflow: auto; property. How can I fix that in order to show drop-down option of button when this is collapsed? I can use some jQuery but after I have problems with scroll left-right so I decided to find another solution. I have attached a photo to understand better.enter image description here

Here is a small js fiddle:

Answer

I solved myself this and I put the answer in scope to help other user that have same problem: We have an event in bootstrap and we can use that event to set overflow: inherit but this will work if you don’t have the css property on your parent container.

$('.table-responsive').on('show.bs.dropdown', function () {
     $('.table-responsive').css( "overflow", "inherit" );
});

$('.table-responsive').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
     $('.table-responsive').css( "overflow", "auto" );
})

and this is the fiddle

info: In this fiddle example works strange and I’m not sure why but in my project works just fine.
