JavaScript

I am trying to add double horizontal scrolls – one above the table and one below it. The table “MUST be based on percentage” and not a fixed width. How do I accomplish this with JQuery?

I need the table to span 100 percent width and have 2 scrollbars that are synced. With alot of content, the bottom scrollbar gets lost from the user…

 <table id="select" class="info">

       <th>3</th>
       <th>4</th>
       <th>5</th>

       <th>6</th>

       <td>content 16</td>
       <td>content 17</td>
       <td>content 18</td>
       <td>content 19</td>
       <td>content 20</td>
    </tbody>
   </table>

   </div>

CSS

  table.info {
     width: 98%;
     margin: 0 1%;
     border-collapse: collapse;
   }

 .row {
     background:#CCC;
  }

 td {
     white-space: nowrap;
 }

Answer

Add one more div with horizontal scroll:

<div id="scroll1" style="overflow-x:auto;">
    <div style="height: 1px;margin: 0 1%;"></div>
</div>

Then synchronize both scroll events via jQuery.

$("document").ready(function(){
    $("#scroll1 div").width($("#select").width());
    $("#scroll1").on("scroll", function(){
        $("#scroll2").scrollLeft($(this).scrollLeft());
    });
    $("#scroll2").on("scroll", function(){
        $("#scroll1").scrollLeft($(this).scrollLeft());
    });
});
