Introduction

This JavaScript code can be used to convert tables in ordinary HTML into scrollable ones. No additional coding is necessary. All you need to do is put header rows in TBODY and give your table an ID field, include the ScrollableTable.js file and call makeScrollableTable in your document's onLoad method.

HTML

<html>
<head>
<script language=JavaScript src=ScrollableTable.js></script>
</head>

<body onload="makeScrollableTable('tabela',true,'auto');">

<table border=0 id=tabela align=center 
  style="border-color: black; border-style: solid; border-width: 1;">
