Re: [xwiki-users] Formatting tables into viewport with sliders

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): http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/SkinExtensionsTutorial The other option, probably simpler, is to use HTML style values just before your table.

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.

You could try looking at your wiki with the toucan skin, check whether the scrollbar appears and if it does use firebug to sniff the code responsible for this...

Hi Regan, On Wed, Nov 18, 2009 at 1:59 AM, Regan Gill rg...@acceptsoftware.comwrote: Hi All, I've got a usability problem in our wiki. Currently we are running 2.0.3, but the problem started happening a few versions back. We have several cases where we have long tables of information that used to work fine -- the page would have a scrollbar which allowed the user to scroll the viewable content page area and see all of the table. But now what happens is the table is written under neither the panel on the right and although there is a scroll bar it is for the entire page in the browser so scrolling will never reveal the part of the table under the panel. And the rest of it appears on top of the wiki background area so it pretty illegible. Is there some easy workaround to avoid this and put the tables back into the page without having to create html around it to do it artificially? The reason I don't want to do this is because it's one more thing that makes it's harder for my users to create their own content. I am not sure when this change happened but I know for sure that with version 1.6.x I was able to create tables in my pages that were scrollable within the content area. I hope this is making sense, a picture would have described it a lot better :) Here is a table example to show the sort of data we are trying to maintain, once we put normal content in the rows the table runs off to the right and becomes unusable. |Name|Access URL|Release Version|SVN|App-Instance Details|DB Instance Details|Reporting Instance Details|Logi Details|OLTP DB Name|OLTP Username| ETL DB Name|Report DB Username | planner_playground_4602_finalHF| http~://~/~/192.168.1.21:9033//| 4.6.0.2-FinalHF| 15706| home/accept/planner_playground_4602_finalHF/| peres| NA| NA| accept_qa_4602_finalhf| sa| NA| NA Thanks in advance for any help, This is an identified issue.
